Poll-Is the EK Success 3 Label Punch a must-have?

I voted for the option of "it's pretty good, pick it up for under $10". I picked it up because Shimelle has used it a lot in her layouts.

I do like the punch, but something to consider is how are you going to use it?

Do you envision using it with scraps, or larger pieces of paper? It can be a little tricky if you're just trying to use a scrap to get one label, but it can be done.

I would probably use mine more if I left it out on my desk instead of in the tub with all the other punches.

Another consideration is do you have label stamps that you could use and fussy cut instead? I know it's a little different look, but could offer a way to achieve that look and stay frozen.

I have it and use it, but not super often as I think I prefer the look of a label with a border so tend to reach for my stamps first. If you can find it for a good price, it's worth having.

I had this punch a while back and ended up giving it away. I must have got a dud because one of the labels would not cut cleanly. I tried the foil sharpening and even had my husband try to work on it but it just was bleh. I would have loved it otherwise though.

Several years ago (maybe not quite that long ago) I saw a woman make a layout using this punch with strips of the labels going down the side of her paper. It turned out really cool. I got it after I saw it at our local second hand store.

I might have to buy this. Thanks for enabling 😄

I have this and never use it. I may have to find it and give it another chance

I’ve had it for about a year and keep it on my desk. I love it.

I had one and rarely used it.



When I did use it, this is what I used it for but I found it really fiddly lining it up. The perfectionist in me couldn't deal with not having them perfectly equal.

I also only used one size of label and it was a waste of card and ink printing the two sizes I didn't need.

I prefer to print and cut on my Cricut so I sold the EK punch.
