Online Print Shop in A. C Lane

Printster is an online print shop: an A. C Lane order is printed at our production facility and couriered to the address on it, inside a published window of 5 to 10 working days. Soft cover (perfect) binding is chosen on 39.5% of everything we print for A. C Lane, against 11.4% across India, and that finish adds 1 to 2 working days on top of printing.

38 printed items, 32 orders: what follows payment on an A. C Lane job

Payment is settled in full first, by UPI, card or net banking, before printing starts. The file enters production, which runs 3 to 5 working days; the finish follows, then handover to the courier. The 32 orders we have shipped to A. C Lane over 24 months carried 38 printed items between them, because one order can carry several printed lines.

The finish decides whether the date moves, and A. C Lane work sits on both sides of that split. Soft cover binding, chosen on 39.5% of what we print for the city, adds 1 to 2 working days beyond production, as hard binding does. Spiral, comb, wiro and staple add none: spiral covers 23.7% of A. C Lane items, unbound sheets 26.3%.

One 700 pincode for A. C Lane, and a 3 to 4 day courier band

A. C Lane addresses sit on the 700 prefix, and the courier network is configured for one serviceable pincode inside the city. That is a coverage figure, not premises: there is nothing here to visit, and collection is possible only at the Delhi facility, for Delhi orders. Kolkata district as a whole has 79 serviceable pincodes, a district-wide count, not a measure of what lies near A. C Lane.

For the leg after printing, the carrier publishes a transit band of 3 to 4 days for A. C Lane, and the city's single pincode sits in it, 100% of our coverage here. That band is a courier configuration, not a measurement of parcels we have sent. The figure to hold on to is the published window: 5 to 10 working days, production included.

Soft cover at 39.5% here against 11.4% across India, priced per copy

Soft cover (perfect) binding is the most-chosen finish on A. C Lane work: 39.5% of printed items against 11.4% across India, about 3.5 times the national rate. It is charged per copy, not per page, at ₹110 on the 1 to 50 copy tier. Hard binding with a colour cover is a smaller row, on 10.5% against 1.2% across India, about 8.9 times the national rate; loose sheets take 26.3% here against 53.9%.

Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days that printing takes. Spiral at ₹40 a copy on the same 1 to 50 copy tier, and comb or wiro at ₹45, add nothing. With 39.5% of A. C Lane items on soft cover and 23.7% on spiral, two jobs can finish on different dates.

248-page documents, 310-page paperbacks, 536-page hardbacks

A document job for A. C Lane averages 248 pages at a mean of 3.3 copies; paperbacks average 310 pages and usually go out as a single copy; hardbound books average 536 pages. Paperback work is 23.7% of what we print for the city against 10.7% across India, about 2.2 times the national rate, on 9 printed items.

Hardbound books are 10.5% of what we print for A. C Lane against 1.3% across India, about 7.9 times the national rate, on 4 items that usually go out as one copy. PDF and document printing is 65.8% here against 79.3% across India. Both are billed the same way: pages at the per-page rate, A4 black and white double-sided at ₹0.60 at the standard tier of 21 pages or more, 1 to 49 copies, and the finish per copy on top, plus 5% GST.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an A. C Lane order take from payment to doorstep?
The published window is 5 to 10 working days to an A. C Lane address, production included. Printing runs 3 to 5 working days. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days beyond that; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. Counting begins the working day after the order is accepted.
Is the 3 to 4 day courier band the delivery time for A. C Lane?
No. That band is what the courier network has configured for the A. C Lane pincode, and it covers only the leg after printing. It is not a measurement of parcels we have sent. Work from the published window of 5 to 10 working days.
What does printing cost on an A. C Lane order?
A4 black and white on both sides is Rs 0.60 a page at the standard tier, which is 21 pages or more at 1 to 49 copies. Soft cover binding is Rs 110 a copy on the 1 to 50 copy tier. The published examples run on a 200-page thesis: Rs 120 for pages alone, Rs 370 with hard binding, before GST.
Which A. C Lane pincodes can you deliver to?
One pincode inside A. C Lane is serviceable on our courier network, on the 700 prefix, and that is the whole of our coverage in the city. Kolkata district as a whole has 79 serviceable pincodes, but that is a count across the district and does not say which of them are near A. C Lane. The pincode entered at checkout is checked before payment.
Can an A. C Lane order be collected instead of couriered?
No. A. C Lane is courier only; collection exists at the Delhi facility, for Delhi orders alone. Give an address where someone can take a parcel in during working hours. The courier network publishes a transit band of 3 to 4 days for the leg after printing, but the promise stays the published window.
Why do so few of your orders go to A. C Lane?
We have delivered 32 orders here over 24 months, carrying 38 printed items between them. That is 0.4% of our West Bengal volume, rank 52 of the 53 places we serve in the state, and 566th nationally. It is a count of parcels shipped, not a judgement about the place.
I need two pages printed this afternoon. Should I order here?
No. The window to A. C Lane is 5 to 10 working days and payment is taken in full before printing, so nothing here answers an afternoon deadline. It suits a file with weight to it and a date with room: the document work we print for A. C Lane averages 248 pages at a mean of 3.3 copies.
