Utility Holder Character Capacity

These holders use 1/16”, 3/32”, 1/8”, 3/16” & 1/4” utility type characters interchangeably. Multiply the number of characters by the character size to determine the correct pocket width.

Examples:

  • Six 3/16” characters require a pocket that is 1.125” wide
  • Ten 1/8” characters require a pocket that is 1.25” wide

    (Letter “I” and punctuation on ½ thickness blanks for larger character sizes)
