Major Benefits to users of the American Perforator:
American Perforators offers you economy and protection. The perforated mark is legible, uniform, and unchangeable. Perforation costs less than a cup of coffee a day would for ten years. "The Perforating Method"® can literally save hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue. The sense of security is well worth the modest price. The American Perforator is built by folks that ONLY manufacture perforators and have been doing so since 1910. American Perforators – a name you can trust!
NOTE: We do NOT handle the type of machines used for perforating straight lines on paper to make it easy to tear. FOr commercial or extremely high volume applications, multiple machines may be required!
From a service standpoint: the cutting head of any perforator will eventually get dull from cutting holes in paper – and require replacement or resharpening. American Perforator is the only manufacturer that will resharpen and recondition their machines. The American Perforator can be returned to the factory for a quick turnaround resharpening and total reconditioning of the ENTIRE machine for about 1⁄2 – 2⁄3 of the cost of just replacing the cutting head of the other brand! The factory will also give your reconditioned perforator a full 1 year warranty. JUST LIKE A NEW MACHINE! This by itself is a major benefit to you the customer.
Some samples of perforations in use:

The above sample inscriptions, with or without a changeable 6–digit date are commonly in use. Others may be used as the situation dictates since all American Perforators are made to special to order. Normally it will take approx. 4–6 weeks from receipt of order before your machine is ready to be shipped from our factory to you (timeframe can vary depending on factory work load). A third line (with the DATE always being the second line in a 3 line perforation) can be used to personalize your perforation. Many companies use their initials when this is desired. The fewer holes that you perforate however, the longer your machine will last. The DATE may be either Julian, DD.MM.YY or MM.DD.YY.
These heavy–duty (this does not mean indestructible) perforators weigh approximately 43 pounds, dimensions are: approx. 6 1/2" wide x 10" tall x 13" in length. Perforators are available ONLY in electric versions, can be modified to operate on 220–250 VAC 50-60 Hz power for an additional charge and come with a Factory Parts & Labor Warranty for ONE YEAR!
