You will just have to turn the punch upside down to view them. The design of these punches makes it very easy to do. **Q: How far will I be able to go from the edge to punch the circle. I need to go from the edge in about 1-2 inches. Will this work?** A: The 1.25 circle punch punches 3/4 of an inch from the edge of the paper. **Q: Will this cut contact paper?** A: Yes, it will cut through, as long as you take into account: 1) You have to have the hand strength to compress the punch to cut through a thicker material. If you can't squeeze the punch hard enough, the blades can't do the work. 2) The blades will be initially sharp enough, but will dull a tiny bit with each use. To sharpen the blades, cut through a very fine sandpaper a few times. You will feel the difference. 3) If the contact paper has a sticky adhesive, it will get on the blades and you will need to stop and clean them. You could try one of the label removing solvents, like Glue Gone, on a cotton ball or rag. **Q: Will this cut card stock paper? I need to make about 500 hole punches so I'm not sure if it will last.** A: It will cut card stock, that is what I was cutting when I cut my circles. They turned out great. I would guess it would cut 500, don't know for sure though. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp, effective, and slim. *by A***R on January 10, 2026* This is a great punch.

I have several of this brand and overall they work the best of any I own. They're sharp, don't jam often, have a nice design that folds flat for storage. Very useful for my crafting purposes.
