What file format should I use to print my magazine with Printster?

A print-ready PDF with embedded fonts and 300 DPI images is the ideal format. Printster also accepts DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP files up to 100 MB. Larger files can be shared via WeTransfer.

What binding is standard for printing magazines?

Saddle stitching (staple binding) is the most common binding for magazines up to around 60–80 pages. For thicker issues or catalogues, perfect binding gives a neat glued spine but adds 1–2 working days to production.

How long does magazine printing and delivery take?

After order placement, delivery takes 4–7 working days for Delhi NCR and 7–10 working days for the rest of India, counted from the next working day. Perfect or hard binding adds 1–2 extra working days.

Can I print a sample copy before ordering in bulk?

Yes. Printster allows you to order a small quantity — even a single copy — to review quality before committing to a larger print run. Use the online price calculator to get an instant quote for any quantity.

Is borderless printing available for magazine covers?

No. All Printster prints include margins on all sides. Make sure your magazine cover design accounts for margins — bleed elements that extend to the edge of the page may be trimmed.

Is cash on delivery available for magazine orders?

No. All orders must be paid online in advance via credit/debit card or net banking. Cash on delivery is not offered. Store pickup is available as an alternative.

Paper and Finish Options

The visual quality of a magazine rests heavily on paper choice. Printster offers coated and uncoated paper options to suit different editorial styles. Glossy coated stock gives photographs and illustrations brilliant contrast, making it the go-to choice for lifestyle, fashion, and product-focused magazines. Matte-finish paper provides a more refined, easy-to-read surface suited to literary journals, industry newsletters, and thought-leadership publications. Covers are printed on heavier card stock and can be laminated — gloss lamination for a bright, eye-catching look or matte lamination for an understated, premium feel.

Binding Methods for Magazines

Binding affects both the magazine's durability and its opening experience:

Saddle stitching (staple binding): the standard for magazines up to about 60–80 pages — economical, flat spine, professional appearance
Perfect binding: glue-bound spine suited to thicker magazines or catalogues — adds 1–2 working days to the standard turnaround
Spiral / Wiro binding: best for workbooks or reference-style periodicals that need to lay flat on a desk

For most standard magazine formats, saddle stitching delivers a clean, familiar look at the most cost-efficient price point.

Uploading Your Magazine File

Printster accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP formats (up to 100 MB). For files larger than 100 MB, WeTransfer is supported. A print-ready PDF with all fonts embedded and images at 300 DPI is the recommended submission format to ensure accurate colour and typography reproduction. A4 and custom page sizes can be configured at the ordering stage.
