PRINT. INSERT. BIND.

Three steps, ninety seconds, no skills required.
01

Print & gather

Print your document like normal. No special paper, no hole-punching, no coils.

02

Slide it into a cover

Drop your pages into any Peleman cover. The U-shaped steel spine inside does the work.

03

Bind in 90 seconds

Set it in the machine. The spine triggers the magnetic switch — no buttons, no warm-up. Out comes a finished book.

Why it works

THE SECRET IS INSIDE THE SPINE.

Every Peleman cover has a U-shaped steel channel pre-loaded with thermal resin. Heat bonds it to your pages — no glue line to crack, no coils to catch, no holes to punch.

  • Triggers automatically

    The steel spine flips the machine's magnetic switch the moment you insert it. No on/off button.

  • No warm-up, ever

    Every machine is ready instantly and finishes a bind in about 90 seconds.

  • One spine, every cover

    Spine, Flex, Soft, Hard and Custom covers all share the same steel spine — so any cover works on any machine.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Every Peleman cover has a U-shaped steel channel pre-loaded with a thermal resin strip. You slide your printed pages in, set the cover into the machine, and the steel spine triggers a magnetic switch automatically. In about 90 seconds the resin bonds your pages into a real, finished book — no glue, coils or hole-punching.

Both — they're one system. The covers carry the spine and resin; the machine supplies the heat that bonds them. Any Peleman cover works with any Peleman machine.

It depends on the machine. The Unibind 60 binds up to 60 sheets — that's 120 pages printed double-sided. Larger machines go higher, up to 340 sheets on the 8.2.

No. None of the machines have an on/off button or a warm-up. The cover's steel spine activates the machine the moment you insert it.

Think about how finished you want it to arrive. Spine covers let you supply your own panels; Flex, Soft and Hard covers arrive more and more finished; Full-Color Custom covers are fully printed and made to order with your branding.

Peleman machines carry a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Peleman is a Belgian company that has been making binding systems since 1939 and serving the US since 1979.
