Online Print Shop in Katwa

Printster prints, binds and couriers to Katwa; there is nothing here to collect in person. The published window is 5 to 10 working days, production included. Binding is the line to settle first on a Katwa order, because the finish chosen most often here is also one that costs days. Soft cover (perfect) binding sits on 31.4% of what we finish for Katwa against 3.5% across India, about 9.0 times the national share.

Soft cover holds 22 of the 70 finished items we ship to Katwa

A printed item is one line on one order, not the whole order. Katwa's 40 orders over the last 24 months carry 70 printed items on the finish table, and soft cover holds 22 of them — 31.4% of what we finish for Katwa against 3.5% across India, about 9.0 times the national share. A second row, logged separately as Soft Cover Binding, holds 9 more, at 12.9% against 11.4%. We keep the two apart and never add them together.

Soft cover is a glued finish, also sold as perfect binding. The pages are milled flat down one edge, glue is laid on, and a printed card cover is wrapped round them to give a square spine that will carry lettering. It is ₹110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, ex-GST, charged per copy on top of what the pages cost. The price does not move with length, which matters on Katwa work: a paperback job here averages 560 pages.

It costs time as well. Hard binding, soft cover, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each extend production by 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5. Three of the five finish rows we hold for Katwa sit on that list: both soft cover rows, and hard binding with colour cover, which carries 3 printed items at 4.3% against 1.2% across India. Weigh that before you upload, not after.

Spiral takes 27.1% of Katwa finishes and moves no dates

Spiral holds 19 printed items on the same table: 27.1% of what we finish here against 17.6% across India, about 1.5 times the national share. It is mechanical rather than glued. Holes are punched down the long edge and a plastic coil threaded through them, so the block opens flat and a page turns a full circle. Spiral is ₹40 a copy at 1 to 50 copies, ex-GST.

Nothing in the spiral, comb, wiro and staple group extends production, so a spiral job to Katwa runs on the plain window. Comb and wiro are ₹45 a copy, staple binding ₹15, corner staple ₹2, centre staple ₹25, and centre staple with lamination ₹35. Against a long file — a document for Katwa averages 290 pages — the coil has to close around a thick block, so the finishes available for your own file are shown at upload.

Unbound work runs at 24.3% for Katwa against 53.9% across India

The row recorded as no binding covers 17 printed items here, 24.3% of what we finish for Katwa against 53.9% across India — about 0.5 times the national share. Set beside the product table, that says something about the shape of the work. Paperback (soft cover) books take 25 of the 69 printed items on the product side, 36.2% of everything we print for Katwa against 10.7% across India, about 3.4 times. Hardbound books take 3 more, 4.3% against 1.3%.

PDF and document printing still heads the product table, on 41 printed items and 59.4%, but the same row runs at 79.3% across India, about 0.7 times. Nothing here explains why the mix sits where it does, and the two tables have different denominators — 69 printed items on products, 70 on finishes — so they are never mixed. What both describe is bound, book-shaped work taking a larger share of what we print for Katwa than of what we print nationally.

290 pages a document, 560 a paperback, 497 a hardbound

Page counts on Katwa work run long. A PDF and document printing job here averages 290 pages an item, a paperback 560, a hardbound 497, and all three product rows record an average of one copy an item. An average is only an average, and says nothing about the spread behind it: a short file is quoted from the same card as a 560-page book.

That card does not change for Katwa. On the standard tier — 1 to 49 copies of a document of 21 pages or more, A4, A5 or B5 on 75 GSM Normal paper — black and white A4 is ₹0.60 a page double-sided and ₹0.85 printed on one side. A file of 20 pages or fewer is ₹0.63 instead. A5 is ₹0.38, A3 ₹1.01, A4 colour ₹3.36. At 100 copies or more, A4 double-sided falls to ₹0.54. Hard binding is ₹250 a copy, ₹275 with golden print on the front, ₹350 front and spine, and 5% GST goes on all of it.

Eight pincodes on the 713 prefix, and one courier band across them

Our courier network is configured for 8 serviceable pincodes in Katwa, every one on the 713 prefix, with 58 named localities sitting inside them — Katwa Bazar, Katwa Station Bazar, Agradwip, Srikhanda and Patuli among them. Each is an address we deliver to. We hold no premises, no counter and no staff anywhere in the city; collection in person exists at the Delhi production facility alone, and only for orders going to Delhi.

For the leg after printing, the courier network publishes a 5 to 7 day transit band for Katwa, and all eight of the city's pincodes sit in that single band — a routing configuration, not a measurement of what parcels did. We have printed and shipped 40 orders here over the last 24 months: rank 43 of the 53 places we serve in West Bengal, 0.5% of our West Bengal volume, rank 470 nationally. The city sits in Purba Bardhaman district, where we reach 98 serviceable pincodes across 38 places; statewide we cover 1,265 pincodes in 61 districts.

Frequently asked questions

Does soft cover binding push back a Katwa order?
Yes, by 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 of production. Hard binding, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch behave the same way; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. It matters here because soft cover is the finish chosen most often on Katwa work, on 31.4% of what we finish for the city against 3.5% across India.
Why does soft cover appear twice in your Katwa figures?
Because our table holds two separate rows and we do not merge them. One covers 22 printed items, 31.4% of what we finish for Katwa, against 3.5% across India. The other covers 9, at 12.9% against 11.4%. Both describe a glued block in a wrapped card cover. Adding them together would invent a figure we cannot source, so we leave them as logged.
A paperback for Katwa averages 560 pages. Does binding cost more on a thick book?
No. Soft cover binding is Rs 110 a copy at 1 to 50 copies whatever the page count, and the pages are charged separately at the per-page rate. The 560-page figure is an average across 25 printed items, so it describes the row rather than any one job. Hard binding is Rs 250 a copy, Rs 275 with golden print on the front, Rs 350 on front and spine.
What does a page cost on an order going to Katwa?
On the standard tier, meaning 1 to 49 copies of a file of 21 pages or more on 75 GSM Normal paper, A4 in black and white is Rs 0.60 a page printed both sides and Rs 0.85 printed on one. A5 is Rs 0.38, A3 Rs 1.01 and A4 colour Rs 3.36. Binding is added per copy on top, and 5% GST applies to the whole bill.
When would a file uploaded today reach an address in Katwa?
In 5 to 10 working days, production included, counted from the next working day after we accept the order. It is an estimate, not a date we will confirm, so leave room against a deadline — and allow another 1 to 2 working days for soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape binding or saddle stitch. The courier separately holds a 5 to 7 day transit band for Katwa, covering the leg after printing.
Is a short print job worth couriering to Katwa?
Often not. A four-page file waits the same 5 to 10 working days as a 560-page paperback, because the window does not shrink with the job. If you need a couple of sheets in your hand this afternoon, printing them near you will beat us on time. This channel earns its keep on length, on the finishes in the binding table, and on a price you see in full before you pay.
Can I collect a Katwa order, and which courier brings it?
Collection is not possible here: Katwa is served by courier on its 8 serviceable pincodes, and pickup exists at the Delhi facility alone, for orders going to Delhi. DTDC is the carrier our table records for Katwa, on two of those pincodes, but we choose the carrier per order and promise none in advance. Payment is online in full before printing, and cash on delivery is not available on any Katwa order.
