Documents are 55.7% of what we print for Akola, not the national 79.3%

PDF and document printing is 73 of the 131 items we have printed for Akola: 55.7% of everything we print for the city, against 79.3% across India, about 0.7 times the national share. Those jobs average 124 pages and usually run as a single copy. A printed item is one line on an order, not the order itself, so every percentage here counts items.

That row is what the standard per-page rate is written for. A4 black and white, double-sided on 75 GSM Normal paper, is ₹0.60 a page at the standard tier of 1 to 49 copies, 21 pages or more, and a 124-page single copy sits inside it. The rate steps either side: ₹0.63 a page at 20 pages or fewer, ₹0.85 single-sided. The 124 pages is a row average, not your file.

Akola's averages: 488 pages a paperback, 55 an e-book

Paperback (soft cover) books are the second row in Akola's product table: 22 items, 16.8% of everything we print for the city against 10.7% across India, about 1.6 times the national share. They average 488 pages an item. E-book printing sits below on 15 items and 11.5% against 1.8% nationally, about 6.3 times, but averages 55 pages. Both rows average one copy an item.

The rows under them are small in count and wide against the national mix. A4 printing is 13 items, 9.9% of what we print for Akola against 0.7% across India, about 13.3 times, averaging 111 pages. Study material and guides is 5 items, 3.8% against 1.0%, averaging 49 pages. Magazines is 3 items at 1.7 copies an item, where the other rows listed here average one. These are top rows, not the full catalogue.

39.4% of Akola's finished work leaves as loose sheets

Finishes carry a different denominator: 127 printed items for Akola against 131 in the product table, so a product share and a finish share cannot be compared. The most-chosen finish here is loose sheets with no binding, 50 items and 39.4% of what we finish for the city, against 53.9% across India. A second unbound label, loose sheet (no binding), takes 9.4% against 0.9% nationally.

Soft cover (perfect) binding is the second row in that finish table: 23 items, 18.1% of what we finish here against 11.4% across India, at ₹110 a copy on the 1 to 50 copy band. Spiral is 13.4% against 17.6% nationally, at ₹40; staple 9.4% against 2.1% at ₹15; wiro 6.3% against 1.2% at ₹45. Products and finishes are counted separately: nothing links the 488-page paperback row to the soft cover row.

Soft cover is 18.1% of Akola finishes, and it costs days

The published window to Akola is 5 to 10 working days, and printing is already inside it. Production runs 3 to 5 working days. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch add 1 to 2 working days on top of that; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. On Akola's table that lands on the soft cover row at 18.1%; spiral at 13.4% and wiro at 6.3% do not extend it.

Some Akola jobs are the wrong shape for this route. Two pages wanted in your hand this afternoon are not it: the courier leg cannot be argued down, and a counter down the road will beat us on that job. The shapes Akola's table is full of are the other kind — the 124-page document, the 488-page paperback, the 55-page e-book, each averaging one copy.

138 orders in, rank 9 of the 35 places we print for in Maharashtra

Those 138 orders over 24 months put Akola at rank 9 of the 35 places we serve in Maharashtra, and 1.5% of everything we have delivered into the state; nationally the city sits at rank 123. That counts what we printed and dispatched, not what Akola buys. The state list beside it is cut to the largest few — Mumbai at 2,814, Pune at 2,289 — so it fixes a volume position only.

Our courier network is configured for 22 serviceable pincodes in Akola. Akola district carries 26 serviceable pincodes across the 4 places we serve in it, and Maharashtra 1,728 pincodes across 68 districts: separate coverage counts, not boxes inside one another. DTDC is configured on 10 of the city's pincodes, and the carrier is picked per parcel at booking, so we name none in advance. The 189 localities below — Akola City, Balapur, Murtizapur among them — are addresses we deliver to, not places we staff.

Frequently asked questions

What does printing a 488-page paperback for Akola cost?
We publish rates, not totals. A4 black and white double-sided is Rs 0.60 a page at the standard tier of 1 to 49 copies, 21 pages or more; soft cover binding is Rs 110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies; GST adds 5%. The only worked totals we publish are built on a 200-page thesis: Rs 120 for the pages alone.
Is 55.7% a share of the 138 orders you have shipped to Akola?
No. It is a share of printed items, and an item is one line on an order rather than the order itself. Akola's work counts 131 printed items in the product table and 127 in the finish table, so the two sets of percentages sit on different denominators.
Why does A4 printing run 13.3 times the national rate in Akola?
We do not know, and this data cannot answer it. The table records what was ordered — 13 items and 9.9% of everything we print for Akola against 0.7% across India — and nothing about why. On 13 printed items, a multiple that size would move on a few items either way.
Does soft cover binding push an Akola order past the window?
The window stays 5 to 10 working days either way, and it is an estimate rather than a commitment, so we confirm no date. Production is what changes: soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days of printing.
Do you print single copies for Akola, or is there a minimum?
Single copies are ordinary work here. The standard tier starts at one copy and runs to 49, at Rs 0.60 a page for A4 black and white double-sided, and each top product row for Akola averages one copy an item apart from magazines at 1.7. The rate falls to Rs 0.54 at 100 copies or more.
Do all 22 Akola pincodes get the same delivery estimate?
Yes. The published window is 5 to 10 working days to any of the 22 pincodes our network is configured for in Akola, all of them on the 444 prefix. It is an estimate rather than a guarantee, and serviceability is confirmed by pincode at checkout.
Can I collect an Akola order instead of having it couriered?
No. Everything for Akola goes out by courier to one of the 22 serviceable pincodes on the 444 prefix. Collection exists at our Delhi production facility alone, and that is for Delhi orders. The 189 localities named below are places we deliver to, not places where we hold stock.
