What Pondicherry customers print most

Across our own orders delivered to Pondicherry, the most common job is PDF Print, followed by Paperback / softcover / softback Books, E-Book Printing. A typical pdf print order from Pondicherry runs about 131 pages in 3 copies. The binding most often chosen here is soft cover (perfect) binding, followed by loose sheets with no binding. Every one of these is priced from the same rate card below.

Soft binding and paperback printing in Pondicherry

Soft cover binding — also called perfect binding or soft binding — glues the pages into a wrapped colour cover with a flat, printed spine. It is the format most people mean by a paperback, and it is the second most ordered job we deliver to Pondicherry after plain document printing.

Soft cover binding is ₹110 per copy at 1 to 50 copies, ex-GST, on top of the per-page printing cost. It suits anything from about 40 pages upward — below that the spine is too thin to hold a square edge, and a spiral or centre staple is the better choice. Soft cover adds 1 to 2 working days to production, so allow for that against your deadline.

Printing an e-book or PDF book in Pondicherry

Turning a PDF or e-book into a physical copy is a regular order from Pondicherry. Any PDF works, whether it came from a purchase, an author copy or your own manuscript.

The two decisions that set the price are the paper and the binding. Most e-book prints run on 75 GSM double-sided at ₹0.60 a page, with soft cover binding at ₹110 a copy for anything over about 40 pages. Print from the PDF rather than a DOCX where you can — the layout and fonts are already fixed, so the printed page matches what you see.

Hardbound and thesis binding delivered to Pondicherry

Hard binding wraps the block in a rigid board case. It is what most Indian universities require for a submitted thesis or dissertation, and it is a regular order from Pondicherry.

All three add 1 to 2 working days to production. If your department has published a binding, cover colour or margin specification, check it before you order: our university requirement pages list the sourced specifications for a number of Indian institutions.
