Custom Hole Punch Designs
When it comes to cutting precise shapes out of metal, UniPunch custom hole punch designs provide an efficient and cost-effective solution.
What is Blanking?
Blanking is the process of cutting a desired shape out of a flat piece of sheet metal. UniPunch tooling is used when the punch slug serves as the blank itself. Interestingly, a well-made punched hole has two sizes: the size of the punch on the entry side and the size of the die on the other side of the material. In blanking, it is the size of the blank that is crucial. The blanking die is made to size, while the punch is intentionally undersized to provide the appropriate punch and die clearance.
Benefits of UniPunch Custom Hole Punch Designs
Precision and Efficiency:
UniPunch designs ensure accurate and consistent blanking results, meeting the exact shape and size requirements of your application. This precision eliminates the need for additional machining processes, saving time and reducing costs.
Customization:
UniPunch understands that every application is unique. Their team of experts works closely with customers to develop custom tooling solutions, taking into account specific material thicknesses, hole sizes, die clearance, and production requirements.
Cost Savings:
UniPunch’s lower-cost alternative to traditional die sets significantly reduces tooling costs, making it an attractive option for small part production or combined blanking and punching operations. Additionally, UniPunch’s efficient tooling systems minimize material waste, further enhancing cost savings.
Streamlined Operations:
UniPunch’s turn-key systems simplify the blanking process, from setup to production. With integrated mounting systems and gauging, their solutions enhance productivity and minimize downtime between operations.
Create Hole Patterns With UniPunch Tooling
Are you looking to streamline your hole punching and part notching processes? Look no further than UniPunch. Our innovative tooling system offers a range of units that can be used together to create precise hole patterns and edge notches, making the production of parts faster and more efficient.
Create a Hole Pattern in Parts
The UniPunch system is designed to simplify the creation of hole patterns. With its c-frame casting and precisely aligned punch and die, you can achieve accurate results. The key to creating the desired hole pattern is the round pilot pin located at the bottom of the unit. By inserting it into the designated hole in the mounting system, such as a mounting template, you can easily achieve the desired outcome.
But what if you require a shaped hole? UniPunch has got you covered. An additional diamond pilot pin, also known as an orientation pin, maintains the orientation of the shape within the hole pattern. This ensures consistency across multiple batches of parts. The UniPunch system empowers you to create complex hole patterns without sacrificing accuracy or efficiency.
Embrace UniPunch for Enhanced Efficiency
The UniPunch system offers a host of advantages that can significantly enhance your manufacturing processes. Its ability to create precise hole patterns, combined with its rapid setup time and increased production speed, make it a game-changer for businesses aiming to improve efficiency and productivity.
Whether you are looking to streamline your existing operations or stay ahead of the competition, UniPunch can help you achieve your goals. Say goodbye to tedious setups and hello to a more efficient and productive future.

Update on Punching Holes in Aluminum J Channel
Three years ago, Lansing Housing Products, reached out to UniPunch looking for a solution to punch holes in a narrow aluminum profile. The holes, which are for installation purposes, were needed in their Tough Tek Metals® product. UniPunch was able to help with reduction of time and material handling. They have cycled several thousand parts and have had no issues with the punches. They are planning on working with UniPunch in the future on new projects.
10x Faster than Drilling
A manufacturer of garage storage systems significantly increased production with UniPunch.
The Challenge
“Drilling holes became too slow for us. Rhino Shelf is a fast-growing, high-quality company and product. We are committed to being American-made and holding ourselves to the highest standards of quality and performance. UniPunch seemed to share that commitment, so we reached out to them to create custom tooling for our parts.”
Working with UniPunch
“The entire process with UniPunch was excellent, from the first time we contacted them through delivery of the tooling. UniPunch’s team was FAST, EFFICIENT, and PROFESSIONAL. UniPunch’s communication was excellent. Drafts of our tooling were done quickly. We refined the drafts and, once finalized, the UniPunch system arrived at our facility. Setup for Unipunch was easy with our press brake.”
We can punch parts TEN TIMES faster than drilling
Speeding up Production
“Once we put UniPunch to work, we knew that we made the right decision. We can punch parts TEN TIMES faster than drilling. Before UniPunch, we had an extensive deburring process. That has now been eliminated. Most importantly, Unipunch is extremely SAFE. Our employees are the best and their safety is more important than any other function of the company. Drill presses can be unsafe in several ways, but our punching process is BY FAR the safer option.”
The Tooling Pays for Itself
“Safer, faster, more efficient. By our calculations, each setup pays for itself in 14 weeks.”
“We have now transitioned our most common parts to UniPunch tooling exclusively and, due to the excellent results that we’ve achieved, will be transitioning ALL of our parts quickly.”
“I want to thank Howard Stream and the entire UniPunch team for their attention to detail, their fantastic service, and their product that has revolutionized the way we manufacture Rhino Shelf – the best garage storage shelving ever made.”

UniPunch and Unittool Have Joined Forces
Clear Lake, Wisconsin,
09/01/2022
UniPunch Products, Inc. and Unittool announced today that the brands will be combined to create the industry leader in C-Frame tooling.
“This collaboration between the brands has been a long time in the making,” said Jon Summers, president at UniPunch. “The friendly competition between Unittool and UniPunch has made both product offerings stronger over the years, and the added benefit of single-point manufacturing and sales support will enable us to serve the marketplace well for many years to come.”
Both brands have provided high quality punching, shearing and notching tooling for more than 60 years, with customers around the world. The combined reach of the two companies accounts for more than 95% of all C-Frame tooling purchased in North America.
“When my father started this business more than fifty years ago, his goal was to take care of his customers, his employees and his family” said Leonard Deni, president at Unittool. “We’re incredibly proud of his legacy, and that this partnership will continue that legacy.”
This initiative will merge the product offering, sales channels and manufacturing to efficiently serve the entire marketplace with both brands from a single location.
The manufacturing and sales support for the combined brands will be in Wisconsin.
Speed up Production
When Diversified Construction Co. needed a faster way to make holes in heavy channel, they chose the UniPunch system. With an ironworker, punching holes one-at-a-time was just too slow. Now using UniPunch, they punch a row of 9 holes in one stroke of the press! Diversified Construction Co. went from producing 20 parts per day to well over 100.
Before, with Ironworker:
After, with UniPunch:
