Polyco Industries was looking to address two issues in its binding operation: maintaining consistent binding quality and achieving faster book binding. These were the reasons the company began looking for a perfect binding machine.
Polyco Industries’ In-House Binding Operation
Based in Behala, Polyco was founded in 2018 and operates with a team of nine and 12 machines on its shop floor. Binding is fully in-house. The company serves approximately 150–250 customers every month, and Art Paper is among the materials it works with.
For a company handling this level of customer activity, binding is not an isolated finishing step. It sits within the wider production workflow, where consistency and turnaround have to work together.
Why Polyco Needed Faster Book Binding
Before investing in the Bindwel Blue Chip, Polyco identified two key requirements: consistent binding quality and faster turnaround.
They also had specific expectations from the equipment it brought into the operation. It chose the Bindwel Blue Chip after considering Bindwel’s brand image, service support and stable machine performance.
Polyco particularly values the machine’s nipping stage. The company says it provides “perfect squaring and professional finishing quality”, directly addressing its requirement for consistent book finishing.
What Polyco Was Looking for Beyond the Machine
For Polyco, the decision was not based on machine capability alone.
They specifically cite brand image, service support and stable machine performance among the reasons for choosing Bindwel. That makes the investment as much about the working relationship around the machine as the equipment itself.
This becomes particularly relevant in a production environment where binding is handled in-house. A machine has to fit into the team’s existing way of working, and support has to be available when the team needs technical or operating assistance.
Polyco’s later experience with Bindwel’s service became an important part of that decision. The company describes the support as “Superb” and highlights the prompt response and technical guidance provided by the Bindwel team.
How the Blue Chip Fits the Production Workflow
Since installation, Polyco says it can produce a higher number of books within a shorter span of time.
For the team, this has supported faster book binding while making the workflow more streamlined and efficient. Polyco also reports smoother production management and consistent output quality.
The change is particularly relevant when production has to work against tight delivery schedules.
Polyco identifies L&T projects among the work it is particularly proud of. In one recent L&T project, the team managed quality production within a strict turnaround schedule and delivered successfully to the client’s satisfaction.
The company also cites an output of 200 books in a single day as one of the toughest deadlines it has successfully met. It shows the faster book binding demands that they handle.
What Faster Turnaround Means on the Shop Floor
The value of faster book binding for Polyco is not simply a higher production number.
The company describes the post-installation workflow as more streamlined and efficient, with smoother production management and consistent output quality. In other words, speed has become part of a broader production improvement rather than a standalone machine metric.
This also fits Polyco’s observation of the wider market. The company identifies faster book binding as an industry trend to achieve a faster turnaround of jobs.
As customer expectations move towards shorter delivery windows, the ability to complete binding within the available production schedule becomes increasingly important. For Polyco, bringing binding fully in-house and improving its production flow gives the team greater control over that stage of the job.
L&T Projects and Production Under Pressure
The L&T project and the 200-book production day provide two examples of the type of pressure Polyco has had to handle.
The L&T job stands out because the company describes completing quality production within a strict turnaround schedule and delivering successfully to the customer’s satisfaction.
The 200-book day provides another measure of the production demands the team has encountered.
They show the practical environment in which Polyco is using its faster book binding setup to move through production and meet customer deadlines while maintaining the expected finish quality.
Bindwel Support Beyond Installation
Bindwel’s involvement has extended from installation guidance to operating assistance.
Polyco specifically credits Suresh Sir, Mayur Bharate, Avisek Ghosh and Krishna Singh for their prompt response, technical guidance and customer-friendly approach.
They also describe Bindwel’s technical support and after-sales service as excellent, particularly noting the team’s attention to even the smallest workflow requirements and its prompt support when needed.
For Polyco, this support has been part of the overall machine experience rather than something separate from production.
Polyco’s Future in Book Production and Binding
Looking ahead, Polyco aims to become one of the top book production and binding companies in India over the next five to ten years.
Its current priorities remain closely connected to the issues that prompted the investment: maintaining binding quality, managing production efficiently and meeting the demand for faster turnaround using faster book binding machines.
For a company building its book production and binding capabilities around an in-house workflow, those requirements will continue to shape how it approaches future growth.
