Online Print Shop in Gangtok

Soft cover on 45.2% of Gangtok finishes, unbound on 10.4%

Start with the denominator. The 45 orders we have shipped to Gangtok over 24 months carry 117 printed items, a printed item being one line on one order rather than the order itself, and 115 of them record a finish. Soft cover, sold elsewhere as perfect binding, heads the recorded rows on 52 printed items: 45.2% of that 115, against 11.4% across India. Loose sheets take 12 items, 10.4% against 53.9% nationally.

That inverts the national pattern. Spiral is the next recorded row at 42 printed items, 36.5% against 17.6%, about 2.1x; staple sits at 4.3% against 2.1%, and wiro at 3.5% against 1.2%, about 2.8x. Four of the five finish rows recorded for Gangtok run above their national share, and the unbound row runs below it. Nothing in our data explains why, so we will not invent a reason.

The ₹110 finish costs working days; the ₹40 one does not

Soft cover binding mills one edge of the block flat, glues it, and wraps it in a card cover with a spine square enough to carry a printed title. It is ₹110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, before GST. Spiral threads a plastic coil through punched holes down one edge, so the pages fold back and the block lies flat; it is ₹40, wiro ₹45.

Money is not what decides a date. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each want 1 to 2 working days beyond the 3 to 5 that production runs to; spiral, comb, wiro and staple want none. The most-chosen finish on Gangtok work, the 45.2% on soft cover, is the one on the slower side of that line, and the 36.5% on spiral is not.

437-page paperbacks, 283-page documents, 131-page e-books

The finish mix follows what Gangtok sends us, which is books as much as paperwork. Paperback books account for 51 of the 117 printed items we have run for the city: 43.6% of everything we print for Gangtok against 10.7% across India, about 4.1x, averaging 437 pages and usually a single copy. PDF and document printing takes 52.1% here against 79.3%, averaging 283 pages.

Those are averages of rows, not of your file, and an average says nothing about the spread underneath it. They do mark out two physical jobs: a 437-page block with a spine deep enough to letter, and a 131-page e-book with less of one. Judge the block in front of you, not the average, and the binding table below prices a Gangtok job as it prices any other.

Gangtok documents average 5.1 copies, which moves the page rate

Copy count changes the per-page figure in a way page count does not. A PDF and document job for Gangtok averages 5.1 copies an item, where the paperback and e-book rows both average one copy. A4 black and white is ₹0.60 a page printed both sides at the standard tier, meaning 1 to 49 copies of something 21 pages or longer. It steps to ₹0.54 at 100 copies or more.

That 5.1 is a mean and says nothing about how many Gangtok jobs land in which tier, so read it as a prompt to set the copy field before paying rather than after. The binding figures are per copy: each is applied once for every copy ordered, not once for the job, which is worth checking on a row like Gangtok's soft cover at ₹110.
