perforable

This term describes a material's physical susceptibility to being punctured or pierced. It is most frequently encountered in industrial, manufacturing, and packaging contexts, where it refers to the technical capacity of a substrate to accept a pattern of holes without tearing or failing structurally.

While similar to "piercable," this word specifically evokes the image of systematic, often mechanical, hole-making. It carries a neutral, technical connotation and is rarely used in casual conversation, appearing instead in product specifications or engineering manuals.
