Online Print Shop in Kollam

Printster prints Kollam orders at our own facility and couriers them out; nothing is collected in the city. On coverage the figure to start from is 46 — the serviceable pincodes our network is configured for in Kollam — across two prefixes, 691 on 98% of them and 690 on the rest. The published window to a Kollam address is 5 to 10 working days, and the pincode you type at checkout settles serviceability.

46 Kollam pincodes, on the 691 and 690 prefixes

Serviceable means the network is configured to deliver to that pincode, no more. Kollam's count is 46: 98% carry the 691 prefix, 690 the remainder. Neither number describes premises. We keep no branch, no counter and no collection point in Kollam, and the 90 named localities listed lower down are addresses we deliver into, not addresses of ours.

Kollam district holds 114 serviceable pincodes across the 10 places in it we serve. Read it beside the city count, not as a part and a whole: the two are rolled up differently. The district's other destinations in our order table include Pathanapuram at 52 orders, Kottarakara at 45 and Karunagappally at 32, each with its own page.

Across Kerala we are configured for 1,662 pincodes in 61 districts, and Kollam is one of 35 places in the state we have shipped to. It sits 9th on volume: 89 orders over 24 months, 2.7% of our Kerala total, rank 199 nationally. Thiruvananthapuram at 666 orders, Kochi 427 and Kozhikode 336 sit above it; Kottayam 100 and Kannur 90 sit near.

The 6-to-8-day band is not the Kollam deadline

The courier sets a transit band per pincode for the leg after printing. Kollam's is 6 to 8 days, configured that way on 40 of the 46, the other 6 at 5 to 7 days; the slower band covers 87% of the Kollam pincodes carrying a well-formed band. That is configuration, not performance: what the carrier set for the route, not how long a Kollam parcel took.

Work to the published window instead: 5 to 10 working days to Kollam, the count starting the next working day after we accept the order, production already inside it. It covers all 46 pincodes and is an estimate, not a commitment, so “will it reach me by Thursday” gets no flat yes. Carriage is assigned per order by serviceability — DTDC is configured for Kollam on 31 of its pincodes — so we promise no named courier.

Kollam orders books: paperback at 30.0% against 10.7%

A printed item is one line on one order, and a Kollam order usually carries several: 130 printed items behind 89 orders over 24 months. Paperback and softcover books account for 39 of them — 30.0% of everything we print for Kollam against 10.7% across India, about 2.8 times national. PDF and document printing takes 56.2% here against a national 79.3%, about 0.7 times.

E-book printing also runs high for Kollam: 6.9% of what we print here against 1.8% across India, about 3.8 times, on 9 printed items. Study material and guides are 2.3% against 1.0%, hardbound books 2.3% against 1.3%, letterheads 2.3%, on 3 printed items each. These are our top rows for Kollam, not the full catalogue: they show what is large, not what is absent.

384 pages a paperback, 151 a Kollam document

A paperback job for Kollam averages 384 pages, an e-book job 380, study material 308, and a plain document job 151 pages; each of those rows averages a single copy. Hardbound work averages 138 pages at a mean of 2.0 copies. An average says nothing about spread: read these as the scale of Kollam work, not a prediction about your file.

Length does not change the page rate. A4 black and white double-sided is ₹0.60 a page at the standard tier — 1 to 49 copies, 21 pages or more, on 75 GSM Normal. Single-sided A4 is ₹0.85, A5 ₹0.38, A4 colour ₹3.36. Copy count does move it, and the Kollam letterhead row averages 183.3 copies an item: from 50 to 99 copies the A4 rate is ₹0.57, at 100 copies or more ₹0.54 a page, before GST at 5%.

Soft cover on 38.5% of Kollam finishes

Finishes carry their own denominator: 122 Kollam printed items record a finish, against 130 counted as products, so the two tables do not compare. Soft cover, also called perfect binding, is the most-chosen finish on Kollam work — 38.5% of those items against 11.4% across India, about 3.4 times, on 47 printed items. Loose sheets sit at 36.9% here against a national 53.9%, spiral at 13.1% against 17.6%.

Three smaller Kollam rows sit well above the national mix: wiro 6.6% against 1.2%, about 5.3 times; glue or tape 2.5% against 0.3%, about 7.7 times; hard binding 2.5% against 0.5%, about 4.8 times. Binding is priced per copy: soft cover ₹110, hard binding ₹250, glue or tape ₹60, wiro ₹45, at 1 to 50 copies, before GST. Finish moves the calendar. Printing takes 3 to 5 working days. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape and saddle stitch add 1 to 2 working days on top; spiral, comb, wiro and staple add none.

Frequently asked questions

How many Kollam pincodes is your courier network configured for?
Forty-six, over two prefixes: 691 carries 98%, 690 the rest. Kollam district holds 114 serviceable pincodes across the 10 places in it we serve. Serviceable is a coverage word, not a premises word: we hold none in Kollam, and your pincode is checked at checkout.
My Kollam address is on the 690 prefix, not 691. Do you deliver?
Both sit inside the 46 pincodes we are configured for in Kollam, 691 covering 98% of the list and 690 the rest; every code is published further down this page. Rate and published window are identical on either. The pincode you type at checkout decides it.
The courier quotes 6 to 8 days to Kollam. Which number should I work to?
The published one: 5 to 10 working days to a Kollam address, production included. The 6-to-8-day figure is the band the carrier configured for 40 of Kollam's 46 pincodes, for the leg after printing, with 5 to 7 days on the other 6. It is a routing setting, not a measurement.
Is there anywhere in Kollam to pick up a finished order?
No. Kollam is courier-only: the 46 pincodes we cover are delivery addresses, and the 90 localities listed lower down are places we deliver into, not places we occupy. Collection exists at the Delhi facility, for Delhi orders. Payment is online in full before printing; cash on delivery is not available.
Will you print and soft-cover bind a 384-page paperback for Kollam?
Yes. Paperback and softcover books are 30.0% of everything we print for Kollam against 10.7% across India, averaging 384 pages an item. Soft cover is Rs 110 a copy at the 1 to 50 copy tier before GST, charged per copy, and adds 1 to 2 working days.
Kollam letterhead orders average 183.3 copies. Does the page rate move at that size?
Yes, by tier. A standard order is 1 to 49 copies, 21 pages or more, at Rs 0.60 a page for A4 black and white double-sided. From 50 to 99 copies it is Rs 0.57, and at 100 copies or more Rs 0.54 a page, before GST at 5%.
I need two pages printed today in Kollam. Is this the right service?
No, and it is fairer to say so. Two pages needed today belong at a counter you can reach on foot. The published window to Kollam is 5 to 10 working days, payment is taken in full before printing, and there is no collection point in the city.
