Automatic casemaker
mitacase - automatic casemaker
The mitacase is a fully automatic casemaking machine designed in particular for the production of high-quality book cases in single to short-runs. Thanks to its high degree of automation with simple format setup times, ease of operation, and comparatively low complexity and space requirements, it has achieved a unique position in the hardcover book-on-demand sector in the lower speed range (up to 400 cases/h).
