Distinct from a standard case maker
The round-corner wrapping operation is the reason to choose this machine, not simply its smaller footprint.
FEATURED HORDA EQUIPMENT
ZFM-500B round-corner
case making machine
A dedicated automatic case maker for rounded-edge hard cases. It combines board feeding, registration and round-corner four-side wrapping in a compact format range.
Maximum product size350 × 500 mm
Minimum product size60 × 120 mm
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.
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.
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.
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.
