The material was selected after extensive practical testing in our own leather workshop, where the board withstood thousands of repeated stitching chisel strikes in the same area without structural failure. Surface impressions developed gradually, as expected, but the board continued to perform reliably throughout. One characteristic we particularly appreciated was how cleanly stitching chisels released after every strike, making long punching sessions noticeably smoother and less effortful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0066cc; border-bottom: 2px solid #0066cc; padding-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eCare \u0026amp; Usage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa; padding: 15px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways place the board on a solid, stable surface such as a workbench or granite slab.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotate the board periodically to distribute wear evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse both sides of the board to maximise its service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean with mild soap and water when required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0 0; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003eSurface punch marks are a normal sign of use and do not affect the performance of the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0066cc; border-bottom: 2px solid #0066cc; padding-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 15px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 10px; text-align: left;\"\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 10px; text-align: center;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eEngineering-grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px;\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003e30 × 19.6 cm, 19.6 × 15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px;\"\u003eUsable Sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eDouble-sided\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #dee2e6; padding: 8px; text-align: center;\"\u003eMade in India\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background-color: #fff3cd; padding: 12px; border-left: 4px solid #ffc107; margin: 20px 0;\"\u003eThis is a workshop tool, not a decorative product. During machining, handling and transportation, the surface will acquire minor scratches, machining marks or scuffs. These are purely cosmetic and have no effect on the performance or durability of the punching board. Like any quality workshop tool, it is designed to be used, not displayed. Within the first few minutes of use, your stitching chisels and punches will begin leaving their own impressions on the surface. Those marks are a normal part of the board's life and are exactly what it is designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PA","offers":[{"title":"Small (19.6 × 15 cm)","offer_id":50109845799160,"sku":null,"price":198.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large (30 × 19.6 cm)","offer_id":50109845766392,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/9736\/1144\/files\/DSC_6703.jpg?v=1785894678","url":"https:\/\/indialeathersupply.com\/products\/hdpe-leather-punching-board","provider":"India Leather Supply (ILS)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
