PräDeka XL Case‑Maker
The PräDeka XL is a versatile, semi-automatic case-making machine designed to produce hardcover cases for books, albums, sample books, folders, and other turned-edge products. With a wide format range — from small square covers to large-format cases up to 52 × 110 cm — it handles thick boards (up to 3.5 mm) and variable spine widths. Its user-friendly touchscreen control, vacuum table for stable cover alignment, and quick format changeover make it ideal for both single-copy production and small- to medium-volume runs. The PräDeka XL delivers consistent, high-quality cases with minimal setup time, making it a reliable choice for bindery workshops, printing houses, and on-demand hardcover production.
