Online Print Shop in Alathur

Printster prints Alathur orders after payment and couriers them: 5 to 10 working days to an Alathur address, counted from the next working day after we accept the file, printing already inside that. The Alathur rows that carry copies are the short ones. A4 printing averages 6.8 copies an item on 16 pages, and study material and guides 6.0 copies on 15, so the multi-copy tiers are in play here.

Alathur's copies sit in the 16-page A4 row

A4 printing is the Alathur row where copies stack up: 7.1% of everything we print for Alathur against 0.7% across India, 9.6 times as often, averaging 16 pages an item at 6.8 copies. Study material and guides sits beside it at 5.4% against 1.0% nationally, 5.2 times as often, averaging 15 pages at 6.0 copies. Both averages put the multi-copy rates within reach on work a one-off job never nears.

The larger rows run single. PDF and document printing takes 36 printed items, 64.3% of everything we print for Alathur against 79.3% across India, averaging 74 pages at one copy. Paperback books hold 17.9% against 10.7% nationally, 1.7 times as often, averaging 166 pages, also at one copy. So copies and page count pull apart in Alathur: the copies ride on the short files, the length on the single ones.

Where the 21-page line falls on an Alathur class set

Two boundaries set the per-page rate, and Alathur's copy rows land on the far side of the first. A4 black and white, double-sided, is ₹0.60 a page on a standard order of 1 to 49 copies, on a document of 21 pages or more. At 20 pages or fewer it becomes ₹0.63. The A4 printing row for Alathur averages 16 pages an item and study material 15, both under that line, so the short-document rate is the one those runs meet.

The copy boundary is further off. From 50 to 99 copies A4 double-sided is ₹0.57, and at 100 copies or more ₹0.54. Alathur's 6.8 and 6.0 are averages, not ceilings: the tier is read off the copies on your own order, and a run that crosses a step is billed at the step it crosses into. Single-sided A4 is ₹0.85, A4 colour ₹3.36, A5 ₹0.38 and A3 ₹1.01. GST at 5% goes on top of each.

Wiro on 31.6% of Alathur finishes, against 0.1% across India

Finishes count on a base of their own: 57 printed items for Alathur record one, against the 56 on the product side, because not every line carries a finish. Wiro binding takes 31.6% of what we finish for Alathur against 0.1% across India, about 500.5 times as often. Among the rows listed on this page, that is the widest gap between an Alathur share and the national one. The table records what was chosen; nothing in it says why.

What that costs, and what it does to the calendar: wiro is ₹45 a copy on the 1 to 50 copy band, alongside comb at ₹45 and spiral at ₹40, and none of the three lengthens the 3 to 5 working days of printing. Spiral is 14.0% of Alathur finishes against 17.6% nationally. For a set that will be opened and closed repeatedly, that is the part of the rate card worth reading before the paper rate.

Loose sheets with no binding take 35.1% of what we finish for Alathur, against 53.9% across India. On a multi-copy Alathur run that means collating falls to whoever opens the parcel. Soft cover (perfect) binding takes 19.3% against 11.4% nationally, at ₹110 a copy, and it is the one to plan around: soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of printing.

35 Alathur orders, 56 printed lines, and what the shares are shares of

We have printed and shipped 35 orders to Alathur over the last 24 months: rank 32 among the 35 places we serve in Kerala, 1.0% of our Kerala volume, rank 522 nationally. It counts parcels we sent to Alathur addresses and says nothing about what the place buys elsewhere. The neighbour lists are cut to the largest few, Palakkad at 200 orders and Ottappalam at 44 in the same district, so they cannot show where we do not ship.

One order is not one printed item. A printed item is a single line on a single order, and 35 Alathur orders carried 56 lines between them, so an order here usually holds more than one. Every product share above is a share of those 56 lines; the finish shares run on their own base of 57. The two do not mix, and neither is a percentage of the 35 orders.

26 Alathur pincodes, all on 678, and what the courier bands mean

Our courier network is configured for 26 serviceable pincodes in Alathur, every one on the 678 prefix. The district around it holds 149 serviceable pincodes across the 8 places we serve there, and Kerala 1,662 serviceable pincodes across 61 districts. Serviceable means the network is set up to carry a parcel there, no more. The 72 named localities behind those pincodes, among them Ayakkad, Kavasseri, Kannambra and Thenkurussi, are places we deliver to, never premises of ours.

The carrier list for Alathur names DTDC, configured on 5 of its pincodes; we choose the carrier per order against serviceability, so no Alathur order is promised a named courier. On the leg after printing, the network has banded 17 of Alathur's pincodes at 6 to 8 days and 9 at 5 to 7. Those are configuration entries, not a record of how long parcels took. The promise to an Alathur address stays 5 to 10 working days.

Frequently asked questions

What does a page cost on a 16-page A4 run for Alathur?
The rate card does not change with the address. A4 black and white, double-sided, is Rs 0.60 a page on a standard order of 1 to 49 copies, on a document of 21 pages or more; at 20 pages or fewer it is Rs 0.63. The A4 printing row for Alathur averages 16 pages an item, under that line, so a run of that length meets the Rs 0.63 page. Binding is per copy on top, plus GST at 5%.
Does the per-page rate fall if I send a class set to Alathur?
It falls in steps, and copies set the step. From 50 to 99 copies A4 double-sided is Rs 0.57, and at 100 copies or more it is Rs 0.54. The Alathur A4 printing row averages 6.8 copies an item and study material 6.0, both inside the 1 to 49 band, but a row average is not your order: the tier is read off the copies you send.
Wiro is 31.6% of Alathur finishes. Is it right for a set that gets handled?
The share records what customers chose rather than advice, and nothing in our data explains it: 31.6% of what we finish for Alathur against 0.1% across India. On price and calendar it is easy to place. Wiro is Rs 45 a copy on the 1 to 50 copy band and does not lengthen printing; comb at Rs 45 and spiral at Rs 40 behave the same way.
How long does a bound Alathur order take to arrive?
The published window is 5 to 10 working days to an Alathur address, timed from the next working day after we accept the file, printing inside it. Wiro, spiral, comb and staple leave that alone. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 of printing. The window is an estimate, so a date never gets a flat yes.
Do all 26 Alathur pincodes carry the same estimate?
The published window is the same for every Alathur address: 5 to 10 working days. What varies is courier configuration. For the leg after printing, the network has banded 17 of Alathur's pincodes at 6 to 8 days and 9 at 5 to 7. Those entries describe how the network is set up, not how long parcels have taken, and they are not a second, faster promise.
Can I hand a file over or collect a finished job in Alathur?
No. The 26 pincodes and 72 localities on this page are places we send parcels to; we have no counter, agent or collection point in any of them. Collection is possible only at the Delhi production facility, and only for orders being delivered in Delhi. Payment is taken online in full before printing starts.
Is ordering online the wrong call for some Alathur jobs?
Sometimes, and it is worth saying plainly. A two-page form wanted this afternoon is not served by a window of 5 to 10 working days, whatever the page rate says. The Alathur work we see is planned: document jobs averaging 74 pages, paperbacks 166, and the copy rows at 6.8 and 6.0 copies an item. If the deadline is today, get it printed near you.
