NOTE: DO NOT try to order a perforator based on a model number. Each model number is customized and its price depends on what its inscription is. So, it is absolutely necessary to know what the inscription you need is for pricing.

The American Perforator Model 400A is the answer to special heavy duty perforation applications where a date is not required and fixed perforations on one, two, or three 9-character lines can be used. ALL American perforators are electric and heavy-duty.

For the more common applications such as INVOICE canceling, the perforation itself begins approx. 5/8" from the leading edge of the paper. This can be positioned much closer with the addition of a special fixed paper guide. The perforated holes themselves are approx. .045" in diameter and spaced in such a manner so as to limit destruction of any printing on the documents. In some cases where a smaller hole size is required, we can utilize a .036" size hole punch. The smaller the hole size, the less capacity the machine will have.

The width of the word PAID is approx. 1 5/8" wide, and if the DATE is used, from the leading edge of the paper, to the bottom of the DATE is approx. 1 5/8" as well. If you require a 3rd. line, the perforation will by necessity be further into the documents. Commonly the DATE consists of 6 changeable digits separated by a single "divider" hole. The date, but not the divider holes, can be blanked out very easily if required.

Serving the needs of businesses worldwide for over a century since 1893 the American Perforator Company has manufactured a line of perforators employed in both basic and custom applications. The originator of the electric perforator, American Perforator continues to set the standard for reliability and longevity... at a very competitive price.

Three reasons why every business should have a 400 series perforator:

1) To Mark Documents Permanently - do away with half impressions or faint ink markings that can further fade with time, and provide clear and permanent perforations for all types of documents.

Your efforts are complete and irreversible

2) To Enhance Office Productivity - hand-stamping invoices is both time consuming and fraught with potential for error. The 400 series perforators mark documents quickly and clearly, perforating up to *25 items at a time. Even temporary staff can mark thousands of documents per hour accurately and effortlessly. (*15-18 is more common due to varying paper thicknesses)

3) To Eliminate Duplicate Payments - Our most popular application! One duplicate payment is one too many! This can occur for a variety of reasons: invoices sticking together during the payment process, a faint ink impression, etc. The 400 series perforators can perforate many invoices at one time, providing a permanent and obvious mark of payment having been made. The Model 400 - our most popular portable electric perforator has changeable dates and/or numbers on the second line, while the first and third lines can be used for up to 10 fixed characters or numbers.

The Model 400 can be ordered with one, two, or three lines for perforation. Standard "PAID" and "DATE" perforation is readily available. Model 400A is our affordable alternative to hand perforators, the Model 400A is the answer to special heavy duty applications. If the quantity of documents or papers to be perforated is a concern, the 400A is your solution. Fixed perforations on one, two, or three 9-character lines can be quickly fabricated. Model 410 - Our multi-purpose Model 410 features unlimited applications with its versatile select-a-word line. With each custom-made key the word above the date can easily be changed. Also available with one, two, and three line perforation, its unlimited variety of uses makes the Model 410 a valuable asset for any business with multiple needs for perforation.
