Nothing crosses a counter: paper, size, colour, sides and finish are chosen on the site, and payment clears first. One line stands out.

E-book printing is 12.5% of Joka's printed items, against 1.8% across India
E-book printing appears as a line of its own on Joka orders 29 times: 12.5% of everything we print for the city, against 1.8% across India, about 6.9 times the national rate. The unit is a printed item, one line on one order rather than an order itself. Joka's 64 orders over twenty-four months carried 232 printed items between them, and that is the denominator the share belongs to.
An e-book item for Joka averages 100 pages and is usually ordered as a single copy. The average describes the row, not your file, and says nothing about the spread behind it. What it does fix is where the work lands on the card: at that length page count carries the bill, and one copy stays in the standard tier.
Pricing a 100-page single copy for Joka off the published card
Joka's e-book average of 100 pages is priced by the page, off a card shown before payment. On 75 GSM Normal, A4 black and white on both sides is ₹0.60 a page once a document runs to 21 pages or more, at 1 to 49 copies; 20 pages or fewer is ₹0.63. One side only is ₹0.85 and colour ₹3.36. A5 is ₹0.38, B5 ₹0.60, A3 ₹1.01, plus GST at 5%.
Two volume tiers sit under the standard rate and a single copy reaches neither: 50 to 99 copies of one file brings A4 double-sided to ₹0.57 a page, and at 100 copies or more it is ₹0.54. The only totals we publish are for a 200-page thesis, ₹120 for the pages alone and ₹370 with hard binding. A 100-page e-book for Joka is not that thesis.
Centre staple on 10.6% of Joka's finished lines, against 0.6% nationally
Finishes are counted on a table of their own, 226 lines for Joka against 232 in the product table, because not every printed item records a finish. The most-chosen finish on Joka work is loose sheets with nothing fastened, on 54.9% against 53.9% across India. Spiral takes 29.6% against 17.6%, about 1.7 times. Centre staple takes 10.6% against 0.6% across India, roughly 19.3 times, on 24 printed items.
Those are per-copy charges at 1 to 50 copies before GST: centre staple ₹25, with lamination ₹35, spiral ₹40, soft cover ₹110, hard binding ₹250. The timing note names hard binding, soft cover, glue/tape and saddle stitch as the finishes adding 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days production takes, and staple among those that do not. It uses generic names, not catalogue ones, so ask where a centre-stapled Joka job falls.
Joka's other rows: 191 document lines at 102 pages, and a 444-page paperback
Plain PDF and document printing is the body of the Joka table: 191 printed items, 82.3% of everything we print for the city against 79.3% across India, averaging 102 pages and usually a single copy. Ordinary work, charged on the same standard tier as the e-book row. Two long rows, both averaging one copy, is what Joka looks like from the production side.
The book lines run the other way. Paperback books are 2.6% of what we print for Joka against 10.7% across India, about 0.2 times, on 6 printed items averaging 444 pages. Hardbound books are 1.3% on 3 items, averaging 194 pages at a mean of 2.3 copies. School books are another 1.3% on 3 items against 0.1% nationally, a multiple of 12.4 times that nobody should lean on at three items.
One serviceable pincode, 700104, inside a district of 74
Joka rolls up to a single serviceable pincode, 700104. Six named localities sit inside it, Amgachi, Pailanhat and Rasapunja among them, each somewhere we deliver to rather than anywhere we hold premises. The district around it, South 24 Parganas, gives us 74 serviceable pincodes across 36 places, Baruipur and Budge Budge included. Joka's 64 orders are 0.8% of our West Bengal volume, rank 26 of the 53 places we serve there.
The window for Joka is published whole: 5 to 10 working days, measured from the working day after we accept the order, production already inside it. It is an estimate, so a date is never answered with a flat yes. For the leg after printing the network holds one band configured against 700104, of 4 to 6 days. That is how the carrier is set up, not a record of what a parcel did.

Frequently asked questions
- What does it cost to print a 100-page e-book and courier it to Joka?
- Pages are charged by the page: A4 black and white on both sides is Rs 0.60 on 75 GSM Normal, for a document of 21 pages or more at 1 to 49 copies, before GST at 5%. A finish is charged on every copy, centre staple Rs 25 or spiral Rs 40. Payment is online in full before printing; cash on delivery is not offered.
- Does 12.5% mean that share of Joka's orders were e-books?
- No. It is a share of printed items, and a printed item is one line on one order. Joka's 64 orders carried 232 printed items between them, of which e-book printing accounts for 29. A share of lines cannot be restated as a share of orders.
- Centre staple is chosen far more on Joka work than nationally. Does that delay a job?
- Centre staple sits on 10.6% of what we finish for Joka against 0.6% across India, and costs Rs 25 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, Rs 35 with lamination. The timing note names saddle stitch among the finishes adding 1 to 2 working days and staple among those that do not, in generic rather than catalogue terms, so ask before counting days.
- Joka has one serviceable pincode. Does that limit where you can deliver?
- Our courier network is configured for 700104, and the six localities this page names sit inside it. They are delivery destinations, not places to visit: there is no counter, agent or collection point in Joka, and pickup is offered at the Delhi facility on Delhi orders alone.
- How long does a Joka order take, and will it arrive by a set date?
- The published window is 5 to 10 working days, measured from the working day after the order is accepted, production already inside it. It is an estimate, not a guarantee, so no date is confirmed with a flat yes. Hard binding, soft cover, glue/tape and saddle stitch add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days production takes.
- Who carries a Joka parcel, and can I ask for a particular courier?
- DTDC is the carrier configured on Joka's single pincode. Which carrier takes a given parcel is settled per order by serviceability, so a named courier is not promised. What is fixed is the published window of 5 to 10 working days.
- Is ordering online the wrong choice for some Joka jobs?
- Sometimes, and it is worth saying. Two pages wanted this afternoon are not work for a courier: the window is 5 to 10 working days, and a file of 20 pages or fewer is Rs 0.63 a page double-sided. Online ordering earns its place on the long single copies Joka sends us.
