Pimpri-based commercial printer Prince Xerox has streamlined its post-press operations after installing a SigLoch Zen perfect binding system in 2025.
Founded in 1988 by Sunil C Mangtani, Prince Xerox operates from a 1,000-sqft facility in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, with a team of 15. The company functions as a fully integrated print operation with all services managed under one roof.
The company serves commercial print customers across Pune and handles approximately 2,000 to 3,000 book and print jobs per month for a customer base of around 30 to 50 clients.
Before investing in the SigLoch Zen system, Prince Xerox outsourced its binding work, which affected delivery timelines and workflow efficiency.
“Delivery time for binding was a challenge because the work was outsourced,” Mangtani said.
Increasing workloads and the need for faster turnaround times prompted the company to look for an in-house perfect binding solution.
Prince Xerox selected the SigLoch Zen system primarily for its print quality, compact footprint, and ease of operation.
“Quality and the fact that it is an Indian product were important factors for us,” Mangtani said.
The company said the compact machine size and operator-friendly workflow helped integrate the system into its existing production setup with minimal disruption.
Since the installation, the company has reported measurable improvements in labour efficiency and production turnaround times.
“The machine is saving a lot of time,” Mangtani said.
Prince Xerox primarily works with 100-gsm substrates and has used the Bindwel system to produce educational books and college magazines.
According to the company, education books remain among the key products manufactured using the current setup.
Mangtani said Bindwel’s after-sales support and service responsiveness had also played an important role in maintaining smooth production operations.
“Yes, we would definitely recommend Bindwel for its prompt and timely service,” he said.
Looking ahead, Prince Xerox expects growth in the print-on-demand segment to create new opportunities for commercial printers investing in compact and automated finishing systems.
The company expects its operations to grow between three times and five times over the next decade as demand for short-run and quick-turnaround print jobs increases.
