Spiral runs about 1.9x its national share here and soft cover about 2.0x, so the finish is worth a minute before you upload.

Spiral runs 33.2% on Udupi work against 17.6% across India

A printed item is one line on one order, not an order. Udupi's 369 orders in 24 months carry 968 printed items, so every share here is a share of items, never of orders. The finish set most often is loose sheets, no binding, on 363 printed items: 38.7% against 53.9% across India, about 0.7x the national share.

Spiral follows on 311 printed items and 33.2%, against 17.6% across India, about 1.9x. It is a plastic coil through punched holes down one edge: pages turn right round and the block stays open flat on a desk. It is ₹40 a copy before GST, on the 1 to 50 copy tier every binding price here uses, and it adds no working days.

The staple rows are small here, and mixed. Corner staple, one staple through a corner at ₹2 a copy, holds 27 printed items: 2.9% against 5.4% across India. Staple binding at ₹15 is 1.0% against 2.1%. Centre staple, folded and stapled through the fold at ₹25, goes the other way: 0.9% against 0.6%, on 8 printed items.

Soft cover on 22.3% of Udupi items, twice the national share

Soft cover, the glued finish also sold as perfect binding, runs on 209 printed items: 22.3% of everything we print for Udupi against 11.4% across India, about 2.0x, twice as common here as nationally. The block is milled flat along one edge, glued and wrapped in a card cover with a square spine, at ₹110 a copy.

Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days of production; spiral, comb, wiro and staple do not. The two largest bound rows recorded for Udupi sit either side of that line, so on a dated job the binding is the first thing to settle.

Hard binding does not appear among the binding rows recorded for Udupi. Those rows are the city's top few rather than the whole catalogue, so that is not the same as nobody here ordering a case: board covered in cloth or leatherette is ₹250 a copy, ₹275 with golden print on the front, ₹350 front and spine.

156 pages at 3.2 copies: the shape of a Udupi document job

Document and PDF printing heads the eight product rows recorded for Udupi: 708 printed items, 73.1% against 79.3% across India, about 0.9x. A document job here averages 156 pages at a mean of 3.2 copies, and a mean says nothing about the spread around it. Paperback books average 356 pages at a single copy, e-book printing 294 pages.

Prices follow the page: the 156-page average and a 356-page paperback are quoted the same way. On the standard tier - 1 to 49 copies, 21 pages or more, 75 GSM Normal paper - A4 black and white double-sided is ₹0.60 a page, one side only ₹0.85, A4 colour ₹3.36 and A5 ₹0.38, all before 5% GST.

42 pincodes on the 576 and 574 prefixes, one configured band

Our courier network is configured for 42 serviceable pincodes in Udupi, over the 576 and 574 prefixes, 64% of them under 576. Inside those 42 sit the 154 named localities we deliver into, Malpe, Brahmavara and Katapadi among them: addresses, not premises. The district holds 78 serviceable pincodes across the 5 places we serve in it, and Karnataka 1,718 pincodes in 108 districts.

The carrier is chosen per order by serviceability, not by the customer: DTDC covers 21 of this city's pincodes. The courier network publishes a 6 to 8 day transit band for Udupi for the leg after printing, and all 42 pincodes sit in that one band: a configuration setting, not a measurement of how long parcels took. The promise stays 5 to 10 working days, production included.

369 orders in 24 months, rank 2 of the 18 places we serve in Karnataka

Over the last 24 months we printed and shipped 369 orders to Udupi: rank 2 among the 18 places we serve in Karnataka, 3.8% of our Karnataka volume, and rank 48 nationally. Kundapura, in the same district, has taken 69. These count what we despatched, not any share of local trade, and the state list is cut to the largest few.

Ordering this way is the wrong call for two pages wanted this afternoon. The window is 5 to 10 working days, payment is taken in full before printing, and Udupi is courier only. What comes from here is longer work: paperbacks averaging 356 pages, documents 156, study material at 2.2% of printed items against 1.0% across India.

Frequently asked questions

Does spiral binding add working days to a Udupi order?
No. Spiral, comb, wiro and staple add no working days. Soft cover, hard binding, glue or tape binding and saddle stitch each add 1 to 2 working days on top of the 3 to 5 working days of production. Spiral is set on 33.2% of what we print for Udupi.
Why does spiral appear twice in the Udupi figures?
Because two tables hold it. As a finish, spiral sits on 311 printed items, 33.2% of what we print for Udupi against 17.6% across India. It is also ordered as a product line of its own, on 8 printed items and 0.8% against 0.2% nationally. The two are never added together.
Loose sheets are 38.7% of Udupi work. What holds them together?
Nothing does. On 363 printed items that is what was asked for: pages printed, boxed and couriered as a stack. If they need to stay in order, corner staple is Rs 2 a copy and spiral Rs 40, which adds no working days.
Can I have a case-bound copy sent to Udupi if hard binding is not in your rows?
Yes. The rate card carries twelve binding types and it does not change by city. Hard binding is Rs 250 a copy, Rs 275 with golden print on the front, Rs 350 front and spine. Our published example, a 200-page A4 thesis, is Rs 120 for pages alone and Rs 370 hard bound.
Document jobs to Udupi average 3.2 copies. Which price tier applies to mine?
Your own run sets it, not the average: 3.2 is a mean, and a mean says nothing about where one order falls. A4 black and white double-sided is Rs 0.60 a page at 1 to 49 copies, Rs 0.57 from 50 to 99, and Rs 0.54 at 100 copies or more.
When would an order placed today reach an address in Udupi?
In 5 to 10 working days, production included, counted from the next working day after the order is accepted. It is an estimate rather than a commitment, so we will not confirm a date. Separately, the courier publishes a 6 to 8 day transit band for Udupi for the leg after printing; it is not the promise.
Is there anywhere in Udupi to collect the job instead?
No. Udupi is served by courier on all 42 of its serviceable pincodes. Pickup exists at the Delhi production facility and covers Delhi orders alone. The 154 localities, Malpe and Katapadi among them, are addresses we deliver to, not places where we hold staff or stock.
