Online Print Shop in Contai

Printster is an online print shop and there is no counter in Contai. A file is printed, checked, finished and packed at our production facility, then booked with a courier, and the published window to a Contai address is 5 to 10 working days. Our network is configured for 7 serviceable pincodes here, every one on the 721 prefix, and loose sheets with no binding at all is the finish chosen most often on Contai work.

Loose sheets on 74.2% of Contai work, and the days finishing adds

Nothing is printed until payment has cleared in full, because Printster is prepaid. The file then sits in production for 3 to 5 working days: printing, a check against the file that was uploaded, and packing for the courier. Finishing is the step that can move that date, and on Contai work it usually does not. Loose sheets with no binding at all is the finish chosen most often here, on 230 printed items, 74.2% of what we finish for Contai against 53.9% across India.

Soft cover (perfect) binding is the other side of that. It is glued into a wrapped cover, and like hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch it adds 1 to 2 working days on top of production rather than inside it. Contai chooses it on 62 printed items, 20.0% of what we finish here against 11.4% across India, about 1.8 times the national rate. Wiro is 4.2% and adds nothing to the clock. Those shares are counted against 310 printed items, not against the 42 orders that carried them.

Seven pincodes on the 721 prefix, one configured carrier

Coverage in Contai is 7 serviceable pincodes, every one of them on the 721 prefix and listed in full below; six run in an unbroken line from 721401 to 721406, and 721668 sits apart from that run. Inside them are 23 named localities we deliver into, Contai Bazar, Contai Super Market, Ajodhyapur, Kantai and Darua among them. Each is an address a parcel is carried to. None is a counter, a collection point, or anywhere we keep staff, in Contai or elsewhere in East Midnapore district.

One carrier is configured for Contai in our network, DTDC, and on 1 of those 7 pincodes. Configuration is not a booking: the carrier on a single order is picked at handover, on that day's serviceability, from India Post, Delhivery, DTDC, Ecom Express and last-mile partners. The network also publishes a transit band for the leg after printing, and its table places all 7 Contai pincodes in one band of 5 to 7 days. That is configuration, not a record of how long a Contai parcel took.

Wiro at 3.4x the national rate on Contai work, spiral at 0.1x

Two finishes make Contai read differently from the national mix, and they pull in opposite directions. Wiro binding is chosen on 13 printed items here, 4.2% of what we finish for Contai against 1.2% across India, about 3.4 times the national rate. Spiral runs the other way: 5 printed items, 1.6% here against 17.6% across India, about 0.1 times the national rate. Our records hold what was ordered and nothing about why, so both figures describe the Contai order book rather than explain it.

For an order to Contai that matters to the calendar and to the bill. Wiro and spiral both leave with the job in the standard production time and add no days at all, and both are charged per copy on top of the pages: wiro ₹45, spiral ₹40, at 1 to 50 copies. Soft cover is ₹110 a copy at that tier, staple ₹15, centre staple ₹25, hard binding ₹250. Every binding on our published card can be ordered to Contai.

A 109-page document and a 344-page book off the same bench

Two product rows carry Contai. PDF and document printing is 255 printed items, 81.7% of everything we print for Contai against 79.3% across India. Paperback and softcover books follow with 57 printed items, 18.3% here against 10.7% nationally, about 1.7 times the national share. A job in the first row averages 109 pages and one in the second averages 344, each usually as a single copy; those are row averages and describe no particular file. Both are top rows, counted against 312 printed items over 42 orders.

Prices are published rather than quoted. On the standard tier, 1 to 49 copies and documents of 21 pages or more on 75 GSM Normal, black and white A4 is ₹0.60 a page printed both sides and ₹0.85 on one side. Shorter documents, 20 pages or fewer, are ₹0.63 double-sided; A5 is ₹0.38 and A4 in colour ₹3.36. ₹0.54 a page belongs to orders of 100 copies or more, and both Contai product rows average one copy an item. GST of 5% is added on top.

Rank 40 of the 53 places we print for in West Bengal

We have printed and shipped 42 orders to Contai over the last 24 months. That is 445th among the places we ship to nationally, 40th of the 53 we print for in West Bengal, and 0.5% of our West Bengal volume. Contai sits in East Midnapore district, where our network reaches 85 serviceable pincodes across 46 places; we also ship into Haldia, on 37 orders, and Digha, on 34. Across the state we cover 1,265 serviceable pincodes in 61 districts.

The window is an estimate and not a commitment, so a question about a named date does not get a flat yes from us. If an order to Contai is still out after the tenth working day, send the order number and the delivery pincode to print@printster.in, or call +91-9643230482, and we will take it up with the carrier holding it. Payment is online and in full before anything is printed; cash on delivery is not available on a Contai order. Pickup exists at the Delhi facility for Delhi orders, so Contai work moves by courier.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an order to Contai take?
The published window to a Contai address is 5 to 10 working days, and the count starts on the working day after we accept the order. Production takes 3 to 5 working days of it. Finishing sits on top of production rather than inside it: soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch add 1 to 2 working days more, while wiro, spiral and staple add none.
Contai shows 7 pincodes. Is that all of the town?
It is all of what our courier network is configured for under Contai: 7 serviceable pincodes on the 721 prefix, printed in full lower down this page. That is a coverage figure, not a branch count, and we hold no premises in Contai. If yours is not listed, enter it at checkout, where serviceability is confirmed before payment.
Will DTDC be the courier on my Contai parcel?
Not necessarily. DTDC is the carrier our network has configured for Contai, on 1 of the 7 pincodes we cover, and a configuration entry is not a booking. The carrier for a single order is chosen at handover against that day's serviceability, out of India Post, Delhivery, DTDC, Ecom Express and last-mile partners.
The transit band for Contai reads 5 to 7 days. Is that the delivery time?
No. That band is what the courier network has configured for the leg after printing, and its table puts all 7 Contai pincodes in the same one. It is a configuration entry rather than a measurement of how long a parcel to Contai took, and it leaves production out. The figure to work to is the published 5 to 10 working days.
Spiral is 1.6% of what we finish for Contai. Can I still order it?
Yes. Spiral is on the published card at Rs 40 a copy at 1 to 50 copies and can be ordered to Contai like anything else, even though it runs at 1.6% of what we finish here against 17.6% across India. Wiro goes the other way, 4.2% here against 1.2% nationally.
What would a 344-page paperback for Contai be priced from?
From the same published rates as everything else. On the standard tier of 1 to 49 copies, on documents of 21 pages or more, black and white A4 is Rs 0.60 a page double-sided, and soft cover binding is Rs 110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies. A 200-page thesis is published at Rs 120 for pages alone and Rs 370 with hard binding.
Is online printing the wrong choice for a two-page job in Contai?
Often it is. If two pages are wanted this afternoon, the machine nearest you will beat us, because the window to Contai is 5 to 10 working days and a small job does not shorten it. Ordering online earns its place on the work Contai actually sends us: jobs averaging 109 pages in one row and 344 in the other.
My Contai order has passed the tenth working day. What now?
Send the order number and the delivery pincode to print@printster.in, or call +91-9643230482, and we will take it up with the carrier holding the parcel. The window is an estimate rather than a guarantee, so a date question does not get a flat yes, but a Contai order past the tenth working day is worth chasing.
