At Printpack 2025, Hall 9 will house a showcase of innovation by Bindwel under the banner of ‘Sprint-Bind.’ This initiative, emerging from the revelations at drupa 2024, is set to redefine the realm of smart printing and binding in India. Sprint-Bind is not just a technology; it represents a business model tailored to address the evolving demands of publishers, digital print providers, boutique book manufacturers, and more.
Sprint-Bind: Leap toward intelligent book manufacturing
Bindwel’s Sprint-Bind concept highlights the agility and intelligence required for modern book manufacturing. Pallippuram Sajith, managing director of Bindwel, says, “Sprint-Bind represents our commitment to empowering customers with smarter, more sustainable solutions.”
The key features include:
Run-length agility: Effortless transitions between short, medium, and long runs ensure maximum efficiency without downtime or wastage.
Smart automation: Data-driven insights optimize every stage of the production process, slashing costs, timelines, and material waste.
Versatility for diverse businesses: From publishers and coaching classes to boutique manufacturers, Sprint-Bind’s solutions cater to varied needs.
Sustainability at its core: Innovations prioritize eco-friendliness, delivering profitability with minimal environmental impact.
The global and Indian landscape of book printing is undergoing a significant transformation. According to Subhasis Ganguly, an independent publishing production consultant, there is a notable shift towards digital printing methods, especially inkjet technology.
“Publishers are increasingly adopting just-in-time production to manage inventories more efficiently,” Ganguly notes, “leading to more frequent orders of smaller print runs. This trend is further facilitated by advancements in digital printing quality and speed, enabling printers to meet sudden spikes in demand, such as those driven by social media trends.”
At Printpack 2025, Bindwel will also introduce Indian customers to inkjet printing options, featuring technologies such as Knozzlejet from Monotech-Pressline, Atexco from Insight Communications, Founder from Technova, and HP India.
These solutions seamlessly integrate with Bindwel’s bookbinding machines, enabling efficient one-book models and short-run workflows. In addition, the technical team from Henkel Adhesives, the global leader in adhesive technology will be present to answer questions related to energy-saving adhesives for short-run applications. The Ultra range of adhesives delivers performance close to that of PUR.
