How long does it take to receive printed school books?

Delivery timelines vary by location. Delhi NCR receives orders in 4–7 working days; all other parts of India receive them in 7–10 working days from the next working day after the order is placed. Hard cover or perfect binding adds 1–2 days.

What file formats are accepted for school book printing?

Printster accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP files up to 100 MB. PDF with embedded fonts is the preferred format for accurate reproduction of text and layouts. Larger files can be sent via WeTransfer.

Is there a minimum order quantity for school books?

No. Printster does not enforce a minimum order quantity. You can order a single copy or hundreds — the price calculator on the site shows per-copy pricing at any quantity.

Can I print colour diagrams in some chapters and black-and-white in others?

Each print job uses a single mode — either full colour or black-and-white — for the entire document. To achieve mixed output, you can print different sections separately and have them bound together, or structure your file accordingly.

Is cash on delivery available for school book orders?

No. Printster requires online payment in advance via credit/debit card or net banking. Cash on delivery is not offered. Store pickup is available as an alternative to courier delivery.

What binding is best for a workbook students will write in throughout the year?

Spiral or wiro binding is ideal — it allows the workbook to open completely flat, making it easy to write on both pages without the spine getting in the way. For longer academic textbooks, perfect binding provides a durable, professional result.

Paper Options for School Books

The right paper makes your school book both readable and durable. Printster offers standard 70 GSM paper — widely used for academic texts — as well as heavier stocks for books that need to survive months of daily classroom use. Double-sided (duplex) printing is standard for multi-page school books, reducing both thickness and per-copy cost. Single-sided printing is available where needed. Every print includes margins on all sides; borderless printing is not offered.

Colour and Black-and-White Printing

For text-heavy syllabi, question papers, and practice workbooks, black-and-white printing is cost-effective and perfectly legible. Full-colour printing is the right choice for science books with illustrated diagrams, geography atlases, art workbooks, or any content where colour carries meaning. Printster's colour printing is consistent across the entire batch, so every student's copy looks identical regardless of the print run size.

Binding Styles for School Books

Choosing the right binding depends on the book's length and how it will be used in the classroom:

Saddle stitch — economical staple binding for thinner workbooks and short study guides
Spiral/Wiro binding — pages lie flat, ideal for workbooks where students write on the left and reference on the right
Perfect binding — square-spined, book-like finish for textbooks and comprehensive study materials
Hard cover — premium, long-lasting cover for reference books and books that need to survive a full academic year or longer

Hard cover and perfect binding add 1–2 working days to production; plan your order timeline around your school's academic calendar.
