Vijay Box Works

You can find us at 1562, Sadashiv Peth in Pune. If you know Pune, you know Sadashiv Peth is full of old buildings and narrow lanes. We’ve been here for a long time, and Vijay Box Works is just part of the neighborhood now. We make boxes. That’s really all there is to it. The shop is usually full of cardboard scraps and the smell of glue. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, but it’s a workshop, not a showroom. We know most of our neighbors by name. Sometimes people stop by just to chat while we’re cutting or folding. We don't have any fancy mission statements hanging on the wall. We just want to make boxes that don't fall apart. My father started this, or maybe it was before him, and we just kept it going. The machines are old but they still work fine if you treat them right. We don't do much advertising. People usually find us because someone told them we do okay work. It gets busy during the festival seasons when everyone needs extra packaging. We stay late then, sometimes working under the dim lights until the job is done. It’s honest work and it pays the bills. We don't plan on moving anywhere else; Sadashiv Peth feels like home to us and the business. There is always something to be done here and we are happy to do it.
