Full product details & included items

Everything needed to create two steel copies of one 24-word English BIP39 recovery phrase.

Two Compact Punchplates, one compatible automatic center punch, one permanent marker, illustrated instructions, and the applicable English BIP39 word-list reference.

Why choose this set?

Create a second physical copy without buying another reusable tool. Each completed plate records the same full recovery phrase.

Compact format

Compact records Punchplate’s one-based English BIP39 word number (1–2048), not the specification’s internal 0–2047 index. Check every number and quadrant carefully.

Mark, punch, and verify

Use the permanent marker to lay out every intended position on each Punchplate, then check each marked layout against the original phrase before punching. Put the original words and the other copy out of view, then test each finished plate independently using only that plate with the intended wallet or recovery device. Keep control of both completed plates.

Material: 304 stainless steel.

Common questions

What is the difference between Standard and Compact?

Standard is a letter-prefix format that avoids numeric lookup: complete three-letter words and the first four letters of longer English BIP39 words. Compact records English BIP39 word-list numbers (1–2048) on a smaller plate and requires the word list during recovery. Both hold the complete phrase.

Is the punch tool included?

Backup Kits include one reusable automatic center punch. Plate-only products do not unless the selected option says otherwise. One tool works for multiple plates.

Do I need a 12-word or 24-word Punchplate?

Match the phrase your wallet created: 12 words to a 12-word plate, or 24 words to a 24-word plate. Confirm compatibility first if the language or recovery standard differs.

Should I choose one complete copy or two?

Two copies reduce the risk of losing the only plate but create another place the full phrase can be exposed. Choose the number you can store and control safely.

Will Punchplate work with Ledger, Trezor, or SLIP39?

A matching Punchplate can record a Ledger 24-word recovery phrase or a Trezor 12- or 24-word wallet backup only when the words are an English BIP39 phrase. Compatibility follows the recovery standard, language, and word count—not the logo on the device.

A 24-word Standard Punchplate can also record one 20-word English SLIP39 share. Record the first four letters of each share word in positions 1–20, in order, and leave positions 21–24 unpunched. The SLIP39 word list gives every word a unique four-letter prefix.

One Standard plate records one share, not an entire Multi-share Backup. Use a separate plate for each share and test every combination required by your wallet’s threshold. This does not apply to Compact or Distributed 2-of-3 Punchplates, and a 33-word SLIP39 share does not fit. Never send us a recovery phrase or share to check.

Ledger and Trezor are trademarks of their respective owners. Punchplate is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by either company.

How should I test my Punchplate backup?

Hide the original words and other copies. Then use the wallet’s backup-check process with only the finished Punchplate. For a Distributed 2-of-3 Kit, test pairs 1+2, 1+3, and 2+3.

Never type recovery words into a website or support form, and do not reset your only working wallet just to run a test.

What about a BIP39 passphrase?

A BIP39 passphrase is a separate secret. Record and test it separately; do not put it on the recovery-phrase plate.

What if I punch the wrong spot or a mark is unclear?

Mark every position in permanent marker and re-check the layout before punching. If a punched mark could be misread, follow the product instructions or replace the plate. Then test recovery from the finished plate.
