There was a time when as soon as newspapers entered our homes in the morning, people would rush to read them. But now since the craze for smartphones and social media has increased among people, perhaps people have forgotten to read newspapers. Newspapers give us information, but the information is not only inside the newspaper but is also related to the newspaper (Holes in the bottom of newspaper), about which perhaps people would have very little information. One such fact related to newspapers is the holes made in them.
Under News18 Hindi’s series ‘Ajab-Gajab Gyan’, we bring for you such information related to the country and the world which can surprise anyone. Today we will talk about the holes made at the bottom of newspapers (Why newspapers have holes). In fact, someone on the social media platform Quora asked why almost all newspapers have holes at the bottom. Some people have answered this, let us tell you.

What did people say on Quora?
A person named Barnaby Page said – These holes are made through the pins which hold the newspaper pressed in the printing press. These holes have no use. If a new type of printing press is made then these holes should not be there, but since these holes are of no use, no one wants to spend so much. One person said he had not seen this in the newspapers, however, he thought it might be due to inventory.
This is how marks appear
Let us now tell you what is the answer to this according to reliable sources. According to the Washington Post website, these holes are functional. Actually, when newspapers are printed, they are drawn on a board, where the first fold is made. After this comes a folding cylinder in which the newspaper is wrapped. A pin is used to wrap it in this cylinder. The lower part of the newspaper is held with a pin. This is what causes marks to form.
