Description

The Punch Pad™ is intended to be used as a backing whenever you're punching through leather with pricking irons, chisels, hole punches, etc.  Just like using thick leather as a backing, the Punch Pad will protect the edges of your tools.  But unlike a leather backing, the Punch Pad's dense, flexible material helps keep irons and punches from penetrating further than necessary and causing damage to your project.  This is often seen in the form of blowouts on the reverse side, and oversized holes on the front side.

The material is self-healing and incredibly resilient.  Because it's very dense, but not as hard as other cutting mats that are often used for punching, the surface of the material does not lift up or scar.  This means you don't have to sand down the Punch Pad to achieve a smooth surface, and you don't have to worry about punch marks and scratches appearing on your projects.  The material will also self-adhere to flat smooth surfaces, such as granite or marble, so you don't have to worry about the Punch Pad slipping during use.

Punch Pads are currently offered in three sizes, and the 8" x 18" also doubles as an excellent cutting mat.   

Thickness:  5mm

PLEASE NOTE - Actual size of 4"x6" and 6"x8" may vary slightly.  Corners may be rounded or square.

Favorite Pad

I have pads from three different companies. One pad is too thin, one pad is too thick, but this one from District Leather Supply is just right. Goldilocks would approve.

Perfect size to fit into small compartments when making a bag.

Mine wore out, getting a bigger one.

Best punch pad ever. It’s relatively flat, and the slight curl can be pushed down flat before you punch because it’s not too thick.

It's a punch pad...

I say that with grace, it's the only punch pad I've ever bought so I don't have anything else to compare it to. What I can say is I've punched through countless items and this thing holds up really well! For the price you really can't beat it. It's a quality pad from a quality company (DLS) what more would you expect?!
