Abstract

The present invention is directed to an alignment device for perforating a sheet media with a punch comprised of a base member having a punch receiving area, an indicia receiving area, a sheet media receiving area and a longitudinal guide edge for aligning the sheet media. A template is provided which has a plurality of alignment indicia where the template is insertable in the indicia area of the base portion, so that when the sheet media is placed along the longitudinal guide edge and aligned with the first of the alignment indicia, the punch is aligned to punch a first hole. The sheet media is then moved to the second spaced indicia, such that the punch is aligned to punch a second hole.
