They also got a little use when the cards were used for
inventory
control. Sometimes a shipper would send a folded (gasp!) card with a
shipment, and the card could be returned for RMA and other functions. A
hand punch was all that was needed.
I have a few cards from some of the big tube makers -
RCA, Tung-Sol - and
they would sometimes cram a folded card into a tube box, with the tube.

I have several Zenith cards, they are perforated so 1/3 could be removed for
the customer record and the 2/3 length card remaining could be sent in as
a reorder card. They had to have some funky reader to read the short cards.
