Cherthala leaves less work loose than India does: 36.7% against 53.9%

Shares here count printed items, not orders. The 41 orders we have printed and shipped to Cherthala over 24 months carry 109 printed items in the product table and 109 in the binding table, counted separately rather than against each other. Loose sheets with no binding is the finish chosen most often on Cherthala work, on 40 items — 36.7% of what we finish here against 53.9% across India, about 0.7x. Unbound means a printed stack in a box, with nothing holding page order once it is opened.

The four bound rows listed under it each run above their national share: spiral on 33 items at 30.3% against 17.6%, staple on 16 items at 14.7% against 2.1%, soft cover on 13 items at 11.9% against 3.5%, glue or tape on 7 items at 6.4% against 0.3%. These are the top rows recorded for Cherthala, not the whole card, so they show which finishes are large here rather than which are missing.

Staple runs at 7.0x here and glue or tape at 20.0x

Staple binding sits on 16 printed items for Cherthala, 14.7% of what we finish here against 2.1% across India, about 7.0x. It is the plainest fastening on the card — sheets squared up and driven through with wire, no cover and no spine. Corner staple is ₹2 a copy, staple binding ₹15, a centre staple ₹25 and a centre staple with lamination ₹35, all at 1 to 50 copies and before GST. Staple, spiral, comb and wiro add no working days.

Glue or tape binding is 7 printed items here, 6.4% against 0.3% across India, about 20.0x. The block is milled flat down the bound edge, glued, and closed with a tape strip along the spine, at ₹60 a copy. It is one of four finishes — with hard binding, soft cover and saddle stitch — that extend production by 1 to 2 working days beyond the standard 3 to 5, so count those days in when you set a date.

Spiral is 30.3% of Cherthala finishes, at ₹40 with no days added

Spiral holds 33 printed items on Cherthala work: 30.3% of what we finish here against 17.6% across India, about 1.7x. A plastic coil is wound through punched holes down the bound edge, so pages turn a full circle and the copy stays flat on a desk. It is ₹40 a copy at 1 to 50 copies. Comb binding, which clamps a plastic spine into rectangular slots, is ₹45, and wiro, a metal comb squeezed shut, is also ₹45.

Study material and guides is 5 printed items for Cherthala, 4.6% of everything we print here against 1.0% across India — about 4.5x — averaging 174 pages at a mean of 1 copy. Document and PDF printing is the larger product row, 94 items at 86.2% against 79.3%, about 1.1x, averaging 134 pages. Those are averages and say nothing about the spread behind them: read them as the shape of a typical Cherthala file, not a rule about any one order.

426-page paperbacks, and what a cover costs on a Cherthala order

Paperback and soft cover book printing is 10 printed items for Cherthala, 9.2% of everything we print here against 10.7% across India, about 0.9x, averaging 426 pages at a mean of 1 copy. The matching finish row is larger: soft cover binding is set on 13 items, 11.9% of what we finish here against 3.5%, about 3.4x. It is ₹110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies — a milled, glued block wrapped in a printed card cover with a square spine.

Cased work is priced apart from it: hard binding is ₹250 a copy, ₹275 with golden print on the front and ₹350 front and spine, with pages charged on top. The four totals we publish are all for a 200-page A4 black and white thesis, double-sided on 75 GSM Normal: ₹120 for pages alone, ₹370 hard bound, ₹395 golden front, ₹470 front and spine, each before GST. A longer file costs more pages, not a different binding rate.

23 pincodes on the 688 prefix, and the leg after printing

Our courier network is configured for 23 serviceable pincodes in Cherthala, all on the 688 prefix, and inside them sit the 50 named localities we deliver into — Cherthala South, Muhamma, Thuravoor, Vayalar and Pattanacaud among them. Every one is an address on a parcel; we hold no staff, stock or counter in any of them. Alappuzha district carries 114 serviceable pincodes across the 14 places we serve in it, and Kerala 1,662 pincodes across 61 districts.

The carrier is picked per order by serviceability, never by the customer; DTDC is configured on 16 of this city's pincodes. For the leg after printing the courier network publishes a 6 to 8 day transit band for Cherthala — 22 of these pincodes carry that setting, one carries a 5 to 7 day band — which is how the lane is configured, not a record of how long a parcel took. Cherthala is rank 452 nationally for us and rank 26 of the 35 places we serve in Kerala, at 1.2% of our Kerala volume.

Frequently asked questions

Which finishes on a Cherthala order add working days?
Hard binding, soft cover, glue or tape and saddle stitch each extend production by 1 to 2 working days beyond the standard 3 to 5. Staple, spiral, comb and wiro do not. That line runs straight through this city's mix: spiral at 30.3% and staple at 14.7% of what we finish for Cherthala cost no extra days, while soft cover at 11.9% and glue or tape at 6.4% do.
Loose sheets are 36.7% of what we finish here. Is unbound enough?
It is a real choice on Cherthala work, on 40 printed items, though it runs under the 53.9% that row takes across India. Unbound is a printed stack in a box with nothing holding page order. If order matters and the budget is tight, corner staple is Rs 2 a copy and staple binding Rs 15, and neither adds a working day.
Staple binding is 7.0x more common on Cherthala work than nationally. What are the options?
Four of them, all per copy at 1 to 50 copies and before GST: corner staple at Rs 2 fastens one top corner, staple binding at Rs 15 fastens the bound edge, a centre staple at Rs 25 folds and stitches the sheets down the middle, and a centre staple with lamination at Rs 35 adds a laminated cover.
What does a page cost for Cherthala before any binding is added?
On the standard tier — 1 to 49 copies of a document of 21 pages or more, on 75 GSM Normal — A4 black and white is Rs 0.60 double-sided and Rs 0.85 on one side, A4 colour Rs 3.36, A5 Rs 0.38 and A3 Rs 1.01. Anything shorter than 21 pages is Rs 0.63 double-sided. At 100 copies or more the A4 double-sided rate is Rs 0.54. Add 5% GST, and binding per copy on top.
How long should a bound order to Cherthala take?
5 to 10 working days, production included, counted from the working day after the order is accepted. A soft cover, hard bound, glue or tape, or saddle stitch finish needs 1 to 2 working days more than that production time. It is an estimate rather than a commitment, so we will not answer a fixed date with a flat yes. The courier's 6 to 8 day band for Cherthala covers the leg after printing only.
Can I hand a file over or collect a job in Cherthala?
No. Cherthala is served by courier alone. The 23 pincodes on the 688 prefix and the 50 localities named on this page — Kanichukulangara, Thanneermukkom, Arookutty and the rest — are places we deliver to, not premises. Files are uploaded and paid for online, in full before printing starts. There is one pickup point in the business, at the Delhi production facility, and it takes Delhi orders only.
Is this worth it for a short document, or should it be printed locally?
For two pages needed the same afternoon, no — a courier leg and a 5 to 10 working day window cannot beat walking somewhere with the file. What this suits is the work Cherthala sends: documents averaging 134 pages, paperbacks 426, study material 174, and a binding chosen from a fixed card. Payment is by UPI, card or net banking, and cash on delivery is not an option on any Cherthala order.
