CaseMaker 350 Full System

The Peleman CaseMaker 350A Full System is a professional hardcover case-making system designed for creating custom hardcover books, presentation covers, display signage, wall décor, photo books, portfolios, and premium presentation pieces in-house. It gives offices, print shops, schools, photographers, real estate teams, and creative departments the ability to produce finished hardcover cases on demand without outsourcing every custom job.

With the CaseMaker 350A, you can wrap printed cover artwork around rigid boards to create a clean, bookstore-style hardcover case. This makes it possible to produce one-off projects, short runs, personalized books, branded sales materials, commemorative pieces, and professional presentations with greater control over timing, quantity, and design. When paired with Unibind thermal binding spines and a compatible UniBinder machine, the finished case can be turned into a complete hardcover book.

How It Works

The CaseMaker 350A uses a manual case-making process to help turn printed cover artwork and rigid boards into a finished hardcover case. The process starts with a full-color printed wrap. This artwork typically includes the front cover, spine, back cover, bleed area, and board gap guides. A larger-format printer is recommended so the printed sheet can cover the full case layout in one piece.

After printing, the sheet is placed on the CaseMaker base. Boards are aligned over the printed wrap, then adhered in position. The wrap is folded around the boards, pressed, and formed to create crisp edges and corners. The result is a clean hardcover case that can be used as a standalone presentation piece, display board, or book cover.

For hardcover books, the finished case can be paired with a printed book block and a compatible Unibind thermal binding spine. The book block is inserted into the case and bound using a UniBinder thermal binding machine. This creates a finished hardcover book with a professional spine and strong presentation feel.

Best Uses

The CaseMaker 350A is ideal for organizations that want to offer higher-value finished products without relying on outside case-making services for every job. Print shops can use it to expand into short-run hardcover books, photo books, custom presentation covers, and premium display pieces. Schools can create yearbooks, awards, memory books, alumni materials, and event books. Real estate teams can produce luxury listing presentations, property books, and branded client materials. Businesses can create executive reports, proposal books, sales presentations, training manuals, and commemorative publications.

It is also a useful system for testing new products before committing to larger production runs. You can create samples, mockups, one-off gifts, customer proofs, and short-run branded pieces with more flexibility than traditional outsourced hardcover production.

Pair with UniFoil Printing

The CaseMaker 350A can also be paired with the UniFoil Printer for added personalization. Use foil printing to add metallic logos, names, dates, titles, or spine text, then finish the piece as a hardcover case. This combination is useful for premium books, awards, branded proposals, real estate presentations, executive gifts, and special event materials.
