Best Graphics has sold a new IBIS Smart-binder SB-2 Digital Saddle Stitcher to WestRock and installed the system in their Indianapolis facility. The order included installation, training, and warranty.
The IBIS Smart-binder
Achieving up to 7,000 booklets per hour, IBIS Smart-binders individually score and fold 4- or 8-page sigs into a collated set before wire-stitching, or spine-gluing books in 3.8” x 4.7” up to 17.4” x 10.7” size formats.
The Smart-binder may be supplied as a model SB-3, which includes IBIS’ unique ISG cold glue binding system. This system produces a “stitchless” book which has better lay-flat qualities than a wire-stitched booklet, as illustrated in the photo above. The SB-3 lay-flat solution inserts better during the mailing/fulfillment process.
