Challenge Drill Press

Printing Unlimited has a Challenge brand drill press in-house for drilling holes through stacks of paper and other materials. It allows for a variety of custom drill holes ranging from single to 4 holes. 

Paper drilling has several uses, including for filing large volumes of paper, for processing paper as loose leaves, for ring binder holes, and decorative purposes. The drill press manages paper drilling efficiently and expertly, reducing the manual labour of the project.

A drill press can do the work of a standard hole punch in a fraction of the time, drilling through large stacks of paper with clean precision. 

About Challenge

As an innovator amongst its competitors, Challenge manufactures a variety of cutting equipment, including paper drills, cornering machines, and paper joggers. 

Its history in the printing industry dates back to 1870, with the establishment of an electrotype foundry in Chicago to produce cuts for letterpress printing. In 1930, Challenge introduced the first paper drilling machine, which was a massive improvement over paper punches. Over the next eighty years, the company continued to design and manufacture new models in printing technology, with the latest addition introduced in 2008, the Powerlift II.
