The Smart-binder may be supplied as model SB-3 which also includes IBIS's 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 below. The lay-flat difference is less pronounced when
making thin booklets. ![]() Booklets with ISG cold glue (left) and conventional

The ISG cold-glue nozzle applies a row of cold-glue dots (or a continuous glue line) to the inside of each folded sheet as it passes through the Smart-binder folder. Sheets are then collected on top of each other (on the saddle) and pressed together tightly when they reach the stitching station (the stitching heads are inhibited when cold gluing, or replaced with a pressing anvil).
