Category Overview
The Hole Punches category is identified by the numeric ID 6467 within the Google product taxonomy. It falls under the hierarchy path of Office Supplies > Paper Handling > Hole Punches, serving as the most specific classification for tools designed to create holes in paper or cardstock.
What Belongs in This Category
This category is intended for desktop, manual, and heavy-duty devices used for document organization and craft projects. Examples from the US market include:
- Standard 2-hole and 3-hole paper punches used for binders.
- Single-hole punchers, including plier-style and compact handheld models.

What Belongs Elsewhere
Products that do not fall under hole punches should be placed in the appropriate neighbouring categories within Paper Handling. For instance, do not list items such as paperweights, paper joggers, or paper folding machines here. Similarly, if you are selling tools meant to assist with paper manipulation like pencil boards or fingertip grips, these must be categorized in their respective classes to ensure accurate feed performance and policy application. This category has no subcategories, meaning 6467 is the terminal point in this specific branch of the product tree.
Feed Implementation
Include the ID 6467 or the full path 'Office Supplies > Paper Handling > Hole Punches' in your google_product_category attribute. While this field is optional, providing the ID ensures Google applies the correct requirements to your items, as the system does not always categorize products correctly on its own.
