| Colour cover + B&W interior | Interior at B&W rate + cover at colour rate | Mixed GSM | Most popular — professional look, low cost |

Worked example: what a 200-page book actually costs
Take a 200-page A4 book printed double-sided in black and white on 70 GSM paper, with spiral binding, in a run of 10 copies. That is 200 printed sides per copy, so 2,000 sides in total — comfortably past the 1,000-page threshold for the ₹0.50 rate. Printing works out to 2,000 × ₹0.50 = ₹1,000. Spiral binding at ₹40 per book adds ₹400. Ten copies at roughly 500 g each weigh about 5 kg, so pan-India courier is ₹135 + (4 × ₹60) = ₹375. Total: roughly ₹1,775, or about ₹178 per book. Use the book printing price calculator for your exact page count and quantity.
Paper, sizes and file specifications
Short answer: Interior black-and-white pages print on 70 GSM as standard, colour on up to 100 GSM premium, and covers on 300 GSM card with gloss or matte lamination. Books are printed in A4 or A5 novel size. Send a print-ready PDF with 10 mm margins, embedded fonts and 150–300 DPI images.
| Paper | Feel & opacity | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| 70 GSM | Standard academic weight; slight show-through on dense text | B&W interior pages, notes, study modules — the default and cheapest option |
| 80 GSM | Noticeably firmer, less show-through | Books meant to be handled repeatedly, professional manuals |
| 100 GSM | Premium, opaque, holds colour well | Colour pages, diagrams, photo plates, medical and design books |
| 300 GSM | Card stock, with gloss or matte lamination | Perfect binding covers |
| Rigid board | Stiff board with printed or cloth wrap | Hard binding covers, premium and library editions |
| Size | Dimensions | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|
| A4 | 297 × 210 mm | Textbooks, coaching modules, manuals, project reports, thesis |
| A5 (novel size) | 210 × 148 mm | Novels, storybooks, poetry, memoirs, compact guides |
| Custom | On request | Confirm feasibility on WhatsApp before designing your layout |
File checklist before you send: export as PDF, keep a minimum 10 mm margin on all four sides (more on the binding edge for perfect and hard binding), embed all fonts, and keep every image at 150 DPI minimum — 300 DPI for photographs. Combine chapters with the free Merge PDF tool and add pagination with Add Page Numbers before sending.
Which binding is right for your book?
Short answer: Choose spiral binding if the book must lie flat for writing, perfect binding if it needs a printable spine and a bookshop finish, and hard binding if it must survive years of handling, such as a thesis or a library copy.
| Binding | Page range | Lies flat? | Printable spine? | Durability | Relative cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spiral | 20–400 | Yes, fully | No | Medium | Lowest |
| Perfect (glue) | 60–600 | No | Yes | Good | Medium |
| Hard (case) | 60–800 | Partly | Yes | Highest | Highest |
🌀 Spiral binding
Best for:
- Student notes & study material
- Project reports and lab records
- Manuals & workbooks
- Coaching institute modules
Why: opens completely flat, pages don't fall out, easy to write on. ₹30–₹50 per book.
📖 Perfect (glue) binding
Best for:
- Novels & storybooks
- Self-published author copies
- Institutional textbooks
- Course books & guides
Why: flat spine you can print the title on, on a 300 GSM laminated cover. Looks like a bookshop paperback.
Price: ₹150 per book (1–10 copies) · ₹100 (11–49) · ₹50 (50+).
📕 Hard binding
Best for:
- Thesis & dissertations
- Final-year project submissions
- Reference books & encyclopedias
- Library and gift copies
Why: rigid board cover protects the pages for years. The most premium finish available.
Price: ₹300 per book (1–10 copies) · ₹275 (11–49) · ₹250 (50+).
Black & white or colour — how to decide
Short answer: Print interior text pages in black and white and only the cover in colour. That single decision typically cuts total cost by 60–80% versus full-colour printing, with almost no difference in how professional the finished book looks.
The three common combinations
- Full black and white — cheapest, from ₹0.50 per side. Right for text-heavy notes, novels, manuals and reference books with no images that matter.
- Colour cover + B&W interior — the most popular choice. Interior at the B&W rate, cover printed in full colour on 300 GSM laminated card. Professional shelf appearance at a fraction of the cost.
- Mixed pages — B&W text throughout with specific diagram, chart or photo pages in colour. Use the free Colour & Black-White Page Separator to split the PDF first, so you only pay colour rates on pages that genuinely need it. This can cut printing cost by up to 50%.
Turnaround, delivery and urgent orders
Short answer: Production takes 1–3 working days. After dispatch, delivery takes 1–3 working days in Mumbai and Thane, 2–4 days elsewhere in Maharashtra, and 3–7 days across the rest of India. Urgent processing is available at extra cost when capacity allows.
| Destination | Delivery after dispatch | Courier charge |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai & Thane | 1–3 working days | ₹50 per kg |
| Rest of Maharashtra | 2–4 working days | ₹135 first kg + ₹60 per extra kg |
| Rest of India | 3–7 working days | ₹135 first kg + ₹60 per extra kg |
Books are packed securely to prevent damage in transit and tracking details are shared after dispatch. Same-day delivery may be available within Mumbai for eligible orders. Self-pickup from Borivali West is also possible. Always mention your deadline in your first message so urgent processing can be confirmed before you commit.

Bulk book printing for institutes and publishers — how volume changes the price
Bulk printing is the cheapest way to produce multiple copies of any book, manual or study guide, because setup effort is spread across the run and paper is consumed at volume rates. At BulkPrintouts.com the black-and-white rate drops to ₹0.50 per side once an order crosses 1,000 printed pages, and the lowest colour rate applies from 500 pages onwards. For a coaching institute printing a 150-page module, that threshold is crossed at just four copies.
Typical bulk orders include semester-wise notes, standardised course material, question banks, exam papers, internal training books and branded institutional publications. Recurring print runs are handled to the same specification each semester, so the books your students received last term match the ones they get this term.
Publishers printing 500 copies or more should message directly on WhatsApp for a custom quote — large quantities may qualify for rates below the published list.
Printing a thesis or dissertation in India
Most Indian universities require thesis submissions in hard binding, usually A4, printed double-sided, with the title, author name and year on the spine. Before ordering, check your department's guidelines for three things that vary by university: required cover colour, whether spine text runs top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top, and how many copies the department, guide and library each need.
Leave a wider inner margin than usual — 20 mm on the binding edge rather than 10 mm — because hard binding consumes a few millimetres at the spine. Send the PDF with the pages already in final submission order, including preliminary pages numbered in Roman numerals if your format requires it.
Book printing terms explained
Plain-English definitions of the terms you'll see when ordering print.
- GSM
- Grams per square metre — the weight of paper. Higher GSM means thicker, more opaque paper. Standard book interiors use 70 GSM; perfect-binding covers use 300 GSM.
- Duplex printing
- Printing on both sides of a sheet. A 200-page book printed duplex uses 100 sheets of paper but 200 printed sides — and printing is priced per side.
- Perfect binding
- Pages are stacked, the spine edge is roughened and glued, and a flexible card cover is wrapped around it. This is what a standard paperback is.
- Case binding
- The technical name for hard binding. Page sections are sewn or glued into a book block, which is then attached to a rigid board cover.
- DPI
- Dots per inch — image resolution. Below 150 DPI, images print visibly soft. Photographs should be 300 DPI at the size they appear on the page.
- Bleed
- Extra image area extending past the trim line, so colour reaches the edge of the page after cutting. Usually 3 mm on each side.
- Print-ready PDF
- A PDF with fonts embedded, images at final resolution, correct page size and adequate margins — one that prints exactly as it appears on screen.
- Spine
- The bound edge of a book. Perfect and hard binding produce a flat spine that can carry printed title text; spiral binding does not.
- Lamination
- A thin plastic film applied to covers, in gloss or matte finish, that protects against scuffing and moisture.
