Go to your nearest decent office supply store.

My wife and I used to make handmade crafts (stuffed animals, candles, etc.)
and as I worked at a print shop / office supply shop, I designed and
printed some "Made in the USA" and "Made in Michigan" tags for sale that
were only 2" x 2". Obviously a 1/4" punch would've obliterated the little
cards, so I asked my friend in charge of the office supply part if there
was anything smaller, and for $2 or $3 more, I had a top-quality 1/8" hand
punch which worked perfect for the tags.

BTW, so this doesn't get too far out of round, does anybody need some
not-quite-finished Point of Sale software for a Tandy 200? I wrote some in
basic (for our craft business) that would output the datafiles to
Mulitplan, dBase or any spreadsheet that handled SYLK or CSV files. It even
had the basic workings of an inventory infrastructure, and ran fine in 24K!
Worked great with my portable Canon BJ10ex inkjet printer...

HTH,
"Merch"
