Perforated paper

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

I am sure there was a post re a similar subject recently, but I cant find it!

Anyway. I need some paper to run through a laserjet, that has perforations towards the bottom, to produce a letter, with tear off badges - they sort of thing you get when going to trade shows and events.

It needs to be either A4, with a 'T' tear/perforation, or A4 with a DL extension, 'T' tear.

It's either this or creative use of my mum's old sewing machine!

American company.
English Company that don't do it but might be worth calling.

Another forum I spend time on brought this up not too long ago..

They're basically the cutting equivalent of a printer... ie: you print your stuff and then run the printout through your craftmate cutter and it cuts according to your design.

Been tempted to buy one to play every since I heard about them

Depending on how many you need you could put the perforations on yourself (without the aid of your mums sewing machine). There are some paper trimmers which you can fit with a blade which perforates rather than cuts. I have one which I used for order forms at exhibitions when I wanted to be able to remove a section to give to the customers. It works really well but is time consuming as you can only do one or two sheets at a time.

Xerox Office supplies do these.

Otherwise I can perf pages for you, depending on numbers

Thanks Dawg (I feel like I am on American Idol!!),

Tried them both, US company went 'A4, uh?' and English company is quoting, but for US letter (no A4!!!).

Websnail - not what I was looking for (I need perforations, not cuts), however VERY interesting!

Paulam - I need a few thousand, so not very practical, but thanks for the pointer.

neildigital,

not easy to find this on Xerox site!

I need at least a couple thousand sheets, but has developed from a single DL tearoff to 2 further perfs, resulting in 3 'coupon' tear offs!
