Katpadi's files run long: 204 pages a document, 517 a paperback

PDF and document printing is 60 of the 104 printed items we have made for Katpadi — 57.7% of everything we print for the city, against 79.3% across India, about 0.7 times the national share. Those jobs average 204 pages and usually run as a single copy. A printed item is one line on one order, not the order itself, so 66 orders carried 104 items.

The rows beneath it are books. Paperback (soft cover) books is 22 printed items and 21.2% of what we print for Katpadi against 10.7% across India, about 2.0 times the national share, averaging 517 pages. E-book printing is 4.8% against 1.8%, roughly 2.7 times, averaging 452 pages; hardbound books 4.8% against 1.3%, roughly 3.6 times, averaging 297. These are top rows, each averaging one copy, not the whole catalogue.

Soft cover binding is 41.3% of what we finish for Katpadi

Finishes carry their own denominator: 92 printed items for Katpadi against 104 in the product table, because not every item records a finish. Soft cover (perfect) binding heads that table with 38 of the 92 — 41.3% of what we finish here, against 3.5% across India, about 11.8 times the national rate. The card puts it at ₹110 a copy on the 1 to 50 copy band, over the per-page cost, plus 5% GST.

Under it: loose sheets with no binding at 37.0% against 53.9% across India; spiral at 12 items and 13.0% against 17.6%, ₹40 a copy; glue/tape at 4.3% against 0.3%, about 13.6 times, ₹60; hard binding with color cover at 4.3% against 1.2%. Products and finishes are separate tables on separate denominators, so nothing ties the 517-page paperback row to the soft cover row.

Why Katpadi's 41.3% soft cover share moves the deadline

The published window to Katpadi is 5 to 10 working days, counted from the next working day after we accept an order; printing already sits inside it. Production runs 3 to 5 working days. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days beyond that; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. On Katpadi's table that lands on the 41.3% soft cover row and the 4.3% glue/tape row, not the 13.0% spiral row.

This route is a poor fit for two pages wanted in Katpadi this afternoon. The courier leg cannot be argued down, a counter you can walk to will beat it, and we would rather say so. Katpadi's table is full of the other shape: a 204-page document, a 517-page paperback, a 452-page e-book, each averaging one copy.

Katpadi's short rows: posters at 6 pages, business cards at 150 copies

Not everything for Katpadi is a book. Poster printing is 4.8% of what we print for the city against 1.9% across India, about 2.5 times the national share, and averages 6 pages an item — the short end of a table whose document row averages 204. The card carries A3 black and white double-sided at ₹1.01 a page, sizes to 13 x 19 inch, and stock to 300 GSM Glossy.

Business cards is 2.9% of what we print for Katpadi, and it is the row here that repeats: 150 copies an item on average, where each of the six other listed product rows averages one. Its national comparison is blank in our data: the count is too small to compare. Study material and guides sits nearby at 3.8% against 1.0%, about 3.8 times, averaging 294 pages.

66 orders, rank 9 of the 28 places we print for in Tamil Nadu

Those 66 orders over 24 months put Katpadi at rank 9 of the 28 places we serve in Tamil Nadu, and 1.3% of everything we have delivered into the state; nationally the city sits at rank 265. That counts what we printed and dispatched, not what Katpadi buys. The state comparison beside it is cut to the largest few — Coimbatore at 447 orders, Tiruchirappalli at 233.

Our courier network is configured for 14 serviceable pincodes in Katpadi, across the 632 and 635 prefixes, 93% of them on 632.

Frequently asked questions

What does printing a 517-page paperback for Katpadi cost?
We publish rates, not totals. A4 black and white double-sided is Rs 0.60 a page on the standard tier — 1 to 49 copies, 21 pages or more — and soft cover binding is Rs 110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, plus 5% GST. The only totals we publish run on a 200-page thesis: Rs 120 for pages alone.
Is 41.3% a share of the 66 orders you have shipped to Katpadi?
No. It is a share of printed items that record a finish, and Katpadi's finish table counts 92 of those against 104 in the product table. A printed item is one line on one order, not the order itself, so the two sets of percentages sit on different denominators.
Why is soft cover binding about 11.8 times the national rate here?
We do not know, and this data cannot tell you. The table records what was ordered for Katpadi — 38 printed items, 41.3% of what we finish here, against 3.5% across India — and nothing about why. On a base that size the multiple would move on a handful of items.
Does soft cover binding push a Katpadi order past the window?
The window stays 5 to 10 working days either way, and it is an estimate rather than a commitment, so we confirm no date. Production is what changes: soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days of printing.
Do you print single copies for Katpadi, or is there a minimum?
Single copies are the ordinary shape of Katpadi work: each of the six other listed product rows averages one copy an item, while business cards averages 150 copies. There is no minimum. The standard tier runs from one copy to 49 at Rs 0.60 for A4 black and white double-sided; at 100 copies or more that rate is Rs 0.54 a page.
Do all 14 Katpadi pincodes get the same delivery estimate?
Yes. The published window is 5 to 10 working days to any of the 14 pincodes our network is configured for in Katpadi, across the 632 and 635 prefixes, and the carrier holds all of them in one configured transit band for the leg after printing — a setting in its table, not a measurement.
Can I collect a Katpadi order instead of having it couriered?
No. Everything for Katpadi goes out by courier, to one of the 14 serviceable pincodes our network covers here. Collection exists at our Delhi production facility alone, and that is for Delhi orders. Payment is prepaid online in full before printing. The 68 localities named are places we deliver to, not places we staff.
