Punches and Punch Cards

Build your own starter kit!
Choose your flags - 15 or 30 cm flags, and for the 30 cm flags, choose whether you want a blue diagonal stripe (very much preferred by those with colour-blindness). Choose your quantity of flags and punches in increments of 10. The basic kit comes with 200 punch cards and you can choose to add more as desired. You can also choose to add flag clips for convenient hanging of flags.

These punch cards conform to the standard Orienteering layout and are printed on weatherproof and tear-proof Tyvek. They are for use with either the Vavrys or Silva orienteering punches. Comes in packs of 100 Control Punch cards.
