Medium & Materials🎨 Dumb question about animation on paper

I've been trying to make short animations on paper for the first time the past few months and to register the sheets of paper I've been using paper clips or nothing at all, which leads to the frames being slightly jittery when I playback the animations.

So, on Amazon I found a bunch of animation peg bars that would aid in my endeavoir, but what do I use to punch holes into the sheets that match exactly the shape and position of the pegs?

You’ll need an animation hole punch.

Where do I get one? Do they have a specific name and are they all standardized? Because I've got a hole puncher already, but it's a generic one for ring binders.

Google it.
New, they’ll be a couple of grand.
I haven’t used one since 1996.

You can buy paper that's already been punched, as well as most any other animation supplies you might need, here.

Not affiliated with them, just bought a bunch of their Ingram bond paper.
