8.6 copies to a paperback: where Mandi's repeat work sits

Paperback (soft cover) book work is 13 printed items for Mandi: 2.6% of the 503 items we have printed for the city, against 10.7% across India, about 0.2 times as often. It is a small row, and the only one of the three listed for Mandi that repeats, averaging 313 pages at 8.6 copies an item. The other two arrive as single copies, documents averaging 51 pages and e-books 367.

The copy tiers are therefore in play for a narrow slice of Mandi work; single-copy document printing carries the rest, at 477 printed items, 94.8% of the 503 against 79.3% across India, about 1.2 times as often. And 8.6 is that row's average, not a floor or a ceiling on any one order: it says nothing about how the runs are spread, so read it as the shape of past work, not a rule about yours.

Where a Mandi run crosses a copy band, and where it does not

Copies move the per-page rate, but not at once. A4 black and white double-sided is ₹0.60 a page on a standard order of 1 to 49 copies of a document of 21 pages or more, ₹0.57 at 50 to 99 copies, and ₹0.54 at 100 copies or more. An 8.6-copy average sits inside the first band, so on Mandi's numbers the page rate is not what a multi-copy run turns on. The finish is.

Length is the other lever, read off your file rather than the city. Short files pay more per page: 20 pages or fewer is ₹0.63 double-sided, and the ₹0.60 rate wants 21 pages or more. The Mandi averages recorded are 51 pages on documents, 313 on paperbacks, 367 on e-books. Single-sided A4 is ₹0.85, A4 colour ₹3.36, A5 ₹0.38 and A3 ₹1.01, with 5% GST on top.

79.4% of what we finish for Mandi carries no binding

Finishes sit on their own base: 504 printed items for Mandi against 503 on the product side, because not every item records a finish. Loose sheets with no binding is the most-chosen finish on Mandi work, on 400 of those items, 79.4% against 53.9% across India, about 1.5 times as often. Spiral follows on 71 items, 14.1% against 17.6%. Soft cover (perfect) binding is 5.0% on 25 items against 11.4%, staple 1.6% on 8.

The table records what buyers chose, not what survives handling. On a multi-copy Mandi run the finish is charged again on every copy. At 1 to 50 copies the card reads corner staple ₹2, staple ₹15, spiral ₹40, comb and wiro ₹45, glue/tape ₹60, soft cover ₹110 and hard binding ₹250. Spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not lengthen production; soft cover, glue/tape, hard bound and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days.

86 orders to Mandi, and the 503 lines counted inside them

We have printed and shipped 86 orders to Mandi over the last 24 months: rank 7 of the 11 places we serve in Himachal Pradesh, 6.5% of our Himachal Pradesh volume, rank 203 nationally. That counts parcels we sent, not local trade. The state table, cut to its largest few, holds Shimla at 306 orders, Hamirpur at 198, Kullu at 143 and Solan at 134; Sarkaghat, in Mandi district, took 43.

Those 86 orders carried 503 printed items between them, because a printed item is one line on one order and a Mandi order usually carries several. Every product share here is a share of those 503, never of the 86 orders, while the finish shares sit on their own base of 504 rather than on either of those two.

5 Mandi pincodes, 80% under 175, inside a district of 53

Our courier network is configured for 5 serviceable pincodes in Mandi, across the 175 and 174 prefixes, 80% of them under 175. Mandi district, a separate count under the same name, carries 53 serviceable pincodes across 17 places we serve, and Himachal Pradesh 441 serviceable pincodes across 15 districts. The 37 named localities we deliver into, Ner Chowk, Paddal, Purani Mandi and Drang among them, are delivery addresses; we hold no counter or staff in any of them.

DTDC is configured for Mandi on 2 of those codes, but the carrier is picked per order by serviceability, so none is promised on a particular parcel. After printing, the network has 3 of Mandi's codes on a 3 to 4 day transit band, one on 4 to 6 days and one on 5 to 7. That is configuration, not a record of what a parcel did.

Frequently asked questions

Does an 8.6-copy paperback run to Mandi get a cheaper page rate?
No. A4 black and white double-sided holds at Rs 0.60 a page on a standard order of 1 to 49 copies of a document of 21 pages or more, and 8.6 copies sits inside that band. It drops to Rs 0.57 at 50 to 99 copies. The finish is charged on every copy.
How long does an order to Mandi take, and what is the 3 to 4 day band?
The published window is 5 to 10 working days to a Mandi address, with 3 to 5 working days of production inside it. It is an estimate, not a fixed date, so a will-it-arrive-by question gets no flat yes. The 3 to 4 days is the courier's configured band for the leg after printing, not a promise we make.
Is the paperback row the same as the soft cover binding row?
No, and the two should not be added. Paperback books are a product row of 13 printed items, counted against the 503 items printed for Mandi. Soft cover binding is a finish row of 25 items on a base of 504, because not every printed item records a finish. A share of one is not a share of the other.
My Mandi pincode begins 174 rather than 175. Is it covered?
Both prefixes are in the list. Our network is configured for 5 serviceable pincodes in Mandi, 80% of them under 175 and the remainder under 174, and every one is printed in full below. Serviceability is confirmed against the address you enter at checkout, and that check decides it.
Can I hand a file over in Mandi, or pay when the parcel arrives?
Neither. The 5 pincodes and 37 localities named on this page are places we deliver to; we hold no premises, staff or collection point in any of them. Pickup exists at the Delhi production facility alone, and only for orders going to Delhi addresses. Payment is online, in full, before printing.
What changes on a 100-copy order to Mandi?
The page rate does. A4 black and white double-sided falls from Rs 0.60 to Rs 0.54 at 100 copies or more, with Rs 0.57 in between at 50 to 99 copies. The finish is still charged on each copy and the published window to Mandi does not change. That tier sits well above the 8.6 copies the paperback row averages.
Is ordering online worth it for a two-page job in Mandi?
Often not. A prepaid order on a 5 to 10 working day window is a poor answer to something wanted this afternoon, and it is more useful to say so than to sell around it. The Mandi rows describe longer work: documents averaging 51 pages, paperbacks 313 pages at 8.6 copies, e-books 367 pages.
