1 hr confidence: 
at the hollow-punch Explanation: The 'die' (the outline for the shape to be cut) for cutting shapes holes - in this case for paper. Often round holes , but they can be of any shape. In the UK it's also known as a 'dinking die'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-08-13 11:21:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another name is the 'socket punch' - I'd stick with 'hollow punch' not knowing the shape. |

about the top of the tear-off tab Explanation: One of the meanings of "fustella" is "tear-off tab". Reference: Webster's New World Italian Dictionary. The frase "tear-off tab" gives 491,000 Google hits. Here is an example of its usage: "Tear off tab flyer templates software.
