The Problem

You spent two weeks on the deck.  It's stapled.

Listing presentations, memorial programs, audit reports, training manuals — the work behind them is real. The way most people hand them over isn't. Loose paper and plastic folders don't read as 'this matters.' They read as 'office supply aisle.'

  • Three-ring binders
    look like office supply
  • Wire Binding
    look like old office supply
  • Comb binding
    screams bad 'school report'
  • Plastic folders
    last minute, careless
  • Loose stapled stacks
    It's a pile not a presentation
There's a better way
The Solution

Print. Insert. Bind.  Ninety seconds.

The U60 is the simplest binding machine ever made: no warmup, no on/off switch, no settings. Plug it in. The cover triggers the bind. You hand over a real book.

STEP 01

Print

Print your document on any printer. Letter, tabloid, 5×7, 4×6 — any sheet count up to 80.

STEP 02

Insert

Drop your stack into a Peleman cover. The U-shaped steel spine is pre-loaded with thermal resin.

STEP 03

Bind

Place it on the U60. The magnetic cover triggers the cycle. 90 seconds later — a finished book.

Why It Works

The spine is  inside the book.

The U60 doesn't crimp, sew, or staple. It bonds a U-shaped steel channel — pre-loaded with thermal resin — directly into the cover. Ninety seconds of heat melts the resin around your printed sheets and re-solidifies them as a single, permanent block.

The result feels like a real book because, structurally, it is one. It's also why every Peleman cover is compatible with the same machine — the spine is the standard, and the U60 is the only thing that closes it.

  • Permanent steel-channel bond
    No comb, no wire, no glue strip to peel apart.
  • Pages lay flat or near-flat
    Soft Covers open completely. Hard Covers sit open hands-free.
  • Universal cover compatibility
    Same spine standard across every Peleman cover.

U60 vs. GBC vs. Fellowes

The honest  comparison.

GBC and Fellowes make capable comb & wire binders. They make documents look bound. The U60 makes books. Those are different categories of finished product — and most buyers don't realize the second one is available at this price.

Common Questions

Everything you'd ask before  a $220 decision.

The short answers most buyers ask in the first five minutes. If yours isn't here, we read every email.

Still have questions?
Talk to a Peleman specialist
Does the U60 really not need warmup?

Correct. There's no on/off switch and no warmup period. Plug it in, place a Peleman cover on the platform, and the magnetic switch starts the 90-second cycle automatically.

What's the difference between U60 and GBC / Fellowes binders?

GBC and Fellowes machines produce comb-bound and wire-bound documents — functional, but they don't look like books. Even their thermal binding options give you very limited types of covers that can be used. The U60 produces actual bound books (hardcover, softcover, linen) using a U-shaped steel spine bonded into the document. It's a different category of finished product.

Do I need different covers for different output formats?

yes and all covers come ready to use. You can choose from many sizes and types and all come with the U spine ready to activate the machine

How many books per hour can I bind?

Each cycle is 90 seconds, so realistically 30–35 books per hour with a steady operator. There's no cool-down between cycles.

What sheet sizes work with the U60?

The U60 binds 4×6, 5×7, letter (8.5×11), and tabloid (11×17) with the matching Peleman cover for each size. Maximum capacity is 80 sheets per book.

What's the warranty?

1 year manufacturer warranty from Peleman USA on every U60. If anything goes wrong, we handle it stateside — no shipping the machine to Europe.

Is shipping really free?

Yes, free US shipping on the U60 and on bundle orders. Most orders ship same week from our US facility.

Can I get fully branded covers for my business?

Yes. The Full-Color Custom cover line is made to order with edge-to-edge printing and lamination, ~2-week lead time, MOQ of 10. Same hardcover construction as our stock Hard Covers.

How is this different from probinding.com?

Peleman is the original manufacturer. probinding.com is a reseller. The cover ecosystem, the machine, the warranty, and the US support all come from the same source when you buy from pelemanusa.com.
