Hand Press: Professional fitting of Book Corners and edge protection
Anyone who produces high-quality printed materials such as menus, folders or leather bindings knows that protecting the corners is crucial for longevity. A manual Book Corner Press offers a decisive advantage over fitting with pliers. Thanks to the even pressure and the firm stop of the tool, the metal corner is positioned precisely and pressed onto the substrate (cardboard, leather or plastic) without skewing. The result is a clean, secure bond that permanently prevents the edges from fraying.
Robust assembly tool for the highest demands
Our Hand Press systems are designed for long-term, industrial use and feature technical details that make all the difference:
- Material stability: The press is made of solid cast iron, which guarantees torsion-resistant power transmission even with large, sturdy Book Corners.
- Surface protection: The polished and smooth surfaces in the pressing area of the assembly tool prevent scratches or pressure marks on the often delicate surfaces of the finished Book Corners.
- Versatility: With just one assembly tool, virtually all Book Corners from our extensive range can be processed. This saves set-up time and investment costs.
- Ergonomics: The lever ratio of the Hand Press enables fatigue-free working, ideal for the production of small batches and medium runs.
