IBIS have installed over over 200 Smart-binder systems around the world, with many of our customers becoming ‘repeat buyers’. Our systems include unique (and in some cases patented) features, such as ISG cold gluing, the ability to constantly vary the number of pages in each booklet on the run and add personalized ‘matching cover’ and/or insert sheets.
Here are a small selection of our customer endorsements:
Smart-binder at Codex, Hungary
The machine processes our digitally-printed sheets using its
integral high-pile sheet feeder and we are pleased with the SB-3 performance
and robust design. The SB-3’s ability to produce large volumes
of high value, high quality pharmaceutical booklets, instruction manuals
and label booklets at high speeds is critical to our business.
Janos Toth, Production Manager
John Cracknell & Jeff Simmonds, Lellyett and Rogers
IBIS has been extremely helpful and professional in creating this
special new system (three separate sheet feeders) to meet our needs.
Jeff Simmonds
Mr Thomas Wenske, R+V Insurance, Germany
The original IBIS Smart-binder worked extremely well... Since we
were confident to invest again in this world-leading IBIS technology,
we installed a further new Smart-binder in 2013 and another new
Smart-binder again this summer 2022.
Thomas Wenske
... For high volume, mission critical, time-bound applications we never look further than the IBIS Smart-binder ... All good with the Smartbinders at WCED, KZN Education and Print on Demand (POD Cape Town). We ran huge volume across the 3 sites
in the Q4 2021 period and the equipment performed very well.
James Kelly, Head of Sales. April 2021
... The customer is very happy with all equipment in the print
line and the line remains very productive.
Herbert Kieleithner, National Manager for Digital Web Press Technology, Canon. April 2021

The IBIS Smart-binder is a durable unit which we expect will give
us many years of production usage and we look forward to installing
our next IBIS Smart-binder as our needs grow in future.

Smart-binder installed at O'Neil Data, Dallas USA
These machines proved to be solid performers and capable of operating
at peak production rates over a long time periods....We are pleased
to have become one of the largest users of IBIS Smart-binders in
the USA.

Marcus Esser, Esser printSolutions
We have been pleased with the Smart-binder performance.

Steve Ware, DST Output
It has been performing excellently, especially when you consider
we run around 50,000 books a week on it. The SB-3 has ticked all
the boxes for us.
Steve Ware
Smart-binder 'Plus HS'
During peak periods the three Smart-binders are used round the
clock and their robust , heavy duty design lends itself well to
our demanding performance requirements.
Herb Lamonda
Bill Gaddy, Senior Director, Broadridge Financial Solutions
The fold quality is second-to-none because the Smart-binder individually
folds each sheet, instead of folding 'groups' of sheets as our other
stitchers do.... IBIS's 'patented' ISG cold glue binding... provides
numerous benefits, in addition to helping the booklets lie even
flatter and giving a stronger bind.... We will certainly look to
IBIS when we require further finishing solutions in future.

Mr Phillipe Sans and the IBIS Smart-binder at Maqprint
When we explained to IBIS what we needed, they constructed
a customized finishing system for us.
The system runs very reliably and is a key component in enabling
us to meet our customer’s requirements.

The IBIS Smart-binder system has been a solid step forward in our finishing department. We have reduced errors, increased throughput and significantly reduced shipping costs.

John Hartmann, CEO, John Patrick Publishing
The Smart-binder is a heavy duty, fast saddle-stitcher which allows
for frequent changes in booklet pagination...

Rodrigo Santelices and the Smart-binder at AMF
The Smart-binder is a very heavy-duty and reliable system that
is already performing well for us.
Rodrigo Santelices
Colourtech Management and representatives from Ipex Machinery
All in all the IBIS is a very good machine, usually the more you
give it the better it performs in terms of running thousands of
books through it 24 hours a day without a hitch.
Mrs. Sonja Groenewald, CEO &
Ettiene Groenewald, Head of Department, Inkjet Printings
Canon New Zealand Ltd have had an IBIS service contract for the last two years.
...we have received excellent support and communication from IBIS
for service and spare parts...We have also received exemplary support
and feedback from analysing log files for us to improve the customer
experience regarding operating the Smart-binder.
