Following extensive research we have finally been able to find a product with more options than the Smart-binder.

Knife

The Swiss Army knife has become synonymous with the concept of one tool with many uses.
In the same way the Smart-binder has become recognised as a benchmark by which other bindery systems are judged.

In addition to being able to apply up to 4 wire stitches to each booklet (including loop stitches), the Smart-binder can also be specified to saddle-bind using IBIS's unique Individual Sheet Gluing system which offers a superior booklet binding method. ISG glued signatures may be automatically collected and fed into a perfect binder without the need to mill away the spine, thus creating a much stronger final product.

Smart-binderThe Smart-binder can be equipped with a vast array of options to allow on-line and off-line finishing of digital print.
No other binder comes close to the customisation options that the Smart-binder offers. These options include:

  • wire stitching (including loop stitches)
  • ISG glue saddle-binding
  • in-line perfect binding
  • pile feeding (with optional trolley loading)
  • operation in-line with digital presses (with sheeter)
  • operation near-line from roll unwindersBooks
  • cover insertion and/or page insertion
  • individual page perforation
  • barcode verification and tracking (including 2D datamatrix)
  • hole punching
  • centre knife trimming

and a range of final trimming options.

If you are fortunate enough to already own a Smart-binder, many of the options are available to be fitted retrospectively to your machine at your site.

If you would like to know how the IBIS Smart-binder could become the most useful tool in your toolkit, or would like to receive literature and samples from the Smart-binder, please do not hesitate to contact your local IBIS team member shown below.
