Will every round-corner design run?
No radius range is given in the catalogue. The board drawing, paper and physical sample should be tested before promising fit.

Where it fits
For a curved edge that needs its own process.
Rounded corners change the way face paper wraps around board. The ZFM-500B is the dedicated round-corner option in the supplied catalogue. It forms a hard case; downstream lining, box forming or book finishing still depend on the final product.
Before selection, send the flat board drawing, corner shape or radius target, face paper, board and a real sample. The catalogue does not specify every possible radius or decorative material, so these must be trialed rather than promised from the model name.
Distinct from a standard case maker
The round-corner wrapping operation is the reason to choose this machine, not simply its smaller footprint.
Test corner finish
Review folds, face-paper stretch, wrinkles and glue behavior at the actual radius.
Plan the completed product
Confirm whether the customer needs only a hard case or a later lining and assembly workflow.

Buyer questions
Check the corner, material and final assembly.
Can the 500B make the complete gift box?
It makes the rounded case. Lining, a box body and final assembly may be separate steps.
Should I choose it over a ZFM-K?
Choose by the required corner structure first. The ZFM-K series targets standard wrapped cases; the 500B is the dedicated round-corner model.
What should I send for a quotation?
Include flat dimensions, board pieces, intended corner profile, face paper, expected output and photos of the finished product.
