Printster offers professional thesis printing and binding for students, researchers, and academics across India. Submitting a dissertation, PhD thesis, or academic project report is a significant milestone, and the quality of the printed copy matters — both for submission and as a personal keepsake. Printster's online service lets you upload your thesis file from anywhere in India, select your exact specifications, and have the finished, bound copy delivered to your address. The service supports a range of paper weights, colour modes, and binding types — including the hardbound finish commonly required for PhD and MTech submissions. All printing is done with margins on all sides (no borderless printing), ensuring a clean, professional look. Simply upload your file in PDF, DOCX, or another supported format, configure your print settings, get an instant price using the online calculator, and pay securely. Delivery covers all major cities and towns across India.
Paper and Print Options
For thesis printing, Printster offers 75 GSM, 85 GSM Bond, and 100 GSM Duo paper options. Many students choose 75 GSM or 100 GSM Duo for the main body pages to reduce show-through and give the document a substantial feel. Printing can be in black-and-white (ideal for text-heavy chapters) or full colour (useful for chapters with charts, graphs, photographs, or colour-coded diagrams). Both single-sided and double-sided (duplex) printing are available — duplex is the more common choice for university submissions.
Binding Types for Thesis and Dissertation
The binding type is often dictated by your institution's guidelines. Printster supports:
- Hard binding (hardbound): The traditional choice for PhD theses and formal dissertations — a rigid board cover with a cloth or leatherette finish. Hardbound binding adds 1–2 working days to your order.
- Perfect (glue) binding: A clean, spine-bound soft cover, often used for MTech and MBA project reports. Also adds 1–2 working days.
- Wiro (spiral) binding: Practical for draft copies or personal reference copies — lies flat when open.
- Soft cover binding: A flexible, durable cover option that adds 1–2 working days.
Always confirm your institution's binding requirements before ordering.
File Upload and Formatting
Printster accepts PDF, DOCX, DOC, PPT, PPTX, JPG, PNG, and ZIP files up to 100 MB. For a thesis, PDF with embedded fonts is strongly recommended to ensure your fonts, equations, figures, and formatting print exactly as intended. If your file exceeds 100 MB, send it via WeTransfer. Note that Printster does not offer borderless printing — all pages will have margins, so ensure your layout accounts for this.

Dissertation printing
A dissertation is printed and bound exactly the same way as a thesis at Printster — the difference lies in what your university asks for, not in the process. Of the 40 institutions whose submission rules Printster has researched, 10 publish a two-stage requirement: copies for evaluation may be spiral or soft bound, and only the final copy after the viva-voce must be hard bound. IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee, NIT Surathkal and Osmania University all work this way.
The rates are identical either way: A4 black & white at ₹0.60 a page double sided, spiral binding at ₹40 a copy, soft cover at ₹110, and hard binding at ₹250, or ₹350 with gold lettering on the front and spine. If you are printing evaluation copies now and the final hard-bound copy later, order them as two separate jobs rather than paying for hard binding twice.
Check your own institution first — Printster publishes the documented requirement, with its source, for 40 Indian universities.
