Indian binding specialist Megabound manufactures complete solutions for rigid boxes and hard case making. The Bangalore-based company displayed its automatic casemaker active dual, automatic top gluing conveyor, rigid box V grooving machine, and automatic rigid box wrapping and folding machine at the second edition of the IntraPac exhibition, organized by IPAMA (Indian Printing Packaging & Allied Machinery Manufacturers’ Association) in Greater Noida’s India Expo Centre.
Established in 2001, Megabound is exporting Make in India binding equipment to more than 40 countries across the globe, including the UAE, Russia, and a lot of companies in the US as well as many European countries.
Megabound has a widespread network of sales and service centres across the length and breadth of India. Many established Indian book printers and exporters, such as Kundli-based Replika and The Orient Litho Press in Sivakasi, are Megabound’s clients.
The company’s director of marketing, N Srinivasa Reddy, spoke to the IPP Group about its growing presence in Northeastern India. Megabound’s sales and service centre in Kolkata serves the region with at least 3-4 installations in the region every month. The binding major recently sold 11 machines worth more than Rs 1.2 crore to the 50-year-old Saraighat Offset Press in the Bamunimaidan industrial area of Guwahati.
“Earlier, the Northeast region was a little behind. However, this year, machine sales have increased in the Northeast region. That is a good sign,” he added.
The company, which is celebrating its Silver Jubilee this year, had a steady flow of business visitors and prospective customers to its 75-square-meter stand at IntraPac. “We always receive a great response at the IPAMA exhibitions. Whenever we are doing the PrintPack, it is our big show. Our next exhibition is PAMEX from 27-30 January in Mumbai, where we have a 140 square meter stand,” Reddy said.
“IPAMA is a brand – It’s like the Indian drupa,” he said, adding that wherever IPAMA organizes exhibitions, the footfall is steady because they have a standard customer base.
The rigid box machine showcased at the show can do both short-run and long-run jobs, and that is the primary reason we have designed these machines, Reddy noted. “India is a growing country, but still many new brands and startups require small quantities as well.”
Megabound is a pioneer in the Indian book binding segment, Reddy said. Even if you have to put a tag, we have the solution available. Indian book printers and exporters, thus, need not go abroad and import foreign-made machines, as we are providing Indian-made machines with better after-sales and spare parts services. “We regularly take feedback from book printers and incorporate required features in our upcoming models.”
Reddy talked about his twelve-year association with Replika and the recent installation of a specialized round case machine to support their Kolbus machine.
According to him, Megabound has sold more than 140 machines in the financial year 2025-26. Our target is to cross 200 installations in this financial year, he said.
