Capabilities & machinery

50,000 books in 2 days. One family. Zero outsourcing.

Pre-press, press, bindery and finishing all sit under our own roof in Kolhapur — 25,000 sq ft, 18 machines, 80-plus people. Nothing gets handed to a third party, which is why nothing gets lost and why we can tell you exactly where your job is.

Infrastructure

Built for scale. Engineered for precision.

Pre-press, high-volume web and sheet-fed offset, lamination, binding and cutting — 18 machines on one 25,000 sq ft floor, run by 80-plus people. Every stage from plate to packed carton is ours, which is what keeps quality consistent, turnaround short and the job under control.

2× Cityline Express web presses

High-volume continuous printing for long runs — textbooks, educational books, directories and catalogues, held to the same quality from the first thousand to the fiftieth.

1× Technova computer-to-plate

Artwork goes straight to plate — no film, no manual step in between — so the proof you sign off and the sheets we print stay in register.

2× Komori Lithrone 4-colour, plus 2× two-colour & 2× single-colour

Four-colour covers and children's titles on the Komoris, plus economical text-block presses for interiors, workbooks and forms.

2× perfect binders, pinning / stitching & 2× lamination

Gloss or matt lamination, then a square perfect-bound spine or a stitched booklet — every finish done on our own floor.

1× trimmer plus 3× guillotines

Final sizing and edge trimming, with enough cutting capacity that no job waits for a blade in the middle of a big run.

Inspected, packed & dispatched

18 machines, 25,000 sq ft and 80-plus people — one integrated floor that takes a job from the first plate to the packed carton.
