What Replika Press does

Replika Press Pvt. Ltd. is a family-owned Indian printing and packaging manufacturer headquartered in Kundli, Sonepat, Haryana, operating as a 100% Export Oriented Unit since its formal incorporation in 1996 (with roots tracing to a family press founded in 1948). The company runs two integrated business lines from an 846,000 sq ft facility spread across four units on 11 acres: (1) book printing for international academic, medical, trade, and specialty publishers (soft cover and hard cover, print runs from 1 to 100,000 copies, capacity of 32 million books and 35,000+ titles per year); and (2) packaging solutions for mobile, perfume, FMCG, pharmaceutical, electronics, and retail brand owners (rigid gift boxes at 100,000 boxes/day, plus mono cartons and corrugated boxes added in 2018). Its production stack is built on imported best-in-class equipment: Heidelberg and KBA sheet-fed offset presses (up to 7-color with online coater at 16,500 sheets/hour), BOBST NovaCut die-cutters and VISIONFOLD folder-gluers, Kolbus hard-cover binding lines, ESKO pre-press and ArtiosCAD structural packaging design, and an SAP ERP backbone.

Replika generates revenue through project-based, quote-priced contracts with enterprise publishing and brand clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no intermediary or reseller channel. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise sales anchored by long-running relationships with major Western publishers (Hachette/Hodder, Wiley/Blackwell, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Macmillan India, Tata McGraw Hill) and a packaging client roster that includes Oppo, Vivo, and Comio. Customer acquisition relies heavily on event-driven marketing at international book fairs (London, Frankfurt) supplemented by a corporate website and LinkedIn presence.

The company holds an extensive compliance stack (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, FSC-C016779 with 85% FSC paper purchases, SMETA/Prelims, BSCI, Sedex, Disney ILS audited) and sustainability investments including 668 KW solar capacity. It has been recognized repeatedly by PrintWeek (Book Printer of the Year 2017, 2018, 2024, 2025; Export Company of the Year 2024, 2025; six consecutive Post Press Company of the Year awards through 2019) and by India's Capexil and EPCES export councils. Ownership is concentrated in the Seth family, with Bhuvnesh Seth as Managing Director and his sons Sanandan Seth (Director - Marketing) and Vikaran Seth (Director - Production) in operational leadership; no external institutional investment has been disclosed.
