Details & specifications
This is genuine James Burn International punching tooling, made in France, built for the Docupunch Plus. It is a plastic-comb binding die on a 9/16 inch pitch that punches 23 rectangular holes at 8x3 mm, with 9 retractable pins and multi-margin settings (2.54 / 3.55 / 4.83 mm). The 9 retractable pins and three margin settings let an operator match the punch to different sheet sizes and edge margins. In practice, the hole pattern has to match both your punch and the binding style you run, so the geometry above is what makes this the right die for the job. Print-finishing and bindery shops that standardize on James Burn punch-and-bind systems buy these dies to keep their pattern consistent across every run. Mid-State Litho supplies it as an authorized James Burn dealer, with installation guidance and phone support from a team that has sold and serviced finishing equipment since 1984. Every specification here traces to the product's catalog record, with no fabricated numbers, and because these dies are built to order we confirm the current lead time with you at quote rather than promising same-week stock.
