Casemaker

/ˈkeɪsˌmeɪkər/ noun

Definition

A person or machine that makes cases, containers, or protective coverings for goods.

Etymology

From 'case' (container) + 'maker' (one who makes). Emerged as a job title in the industrial age when standardized containers became essential to commerce.

Kelly Says

In the late 1800s, casemakers were skilled craftspeople—but automation transformed the profession, and now most cases are made by machines, making the human casemaker nearly extinct.
