Can I Choose the Paper?

No, and the reason is worth reading — one stock per product is a large part of why an eight-page magazine is ₹499 rather than a quote you have to wait for.

No. One stock per product, and the answer is fixed:

Product Paper
Magazine cover 300 GSM matte cardstock
Magazine inner 170 GSM non-glare smooth
Album inner 250 GSM matte
Prints 300 GSM matte card
Card deck 300 GSM card stock

Worth explaining rather than just stating, because “we do not offer that” is a poor answer on its own.

What choice would cost

Price. A fixed stock means paper bought in quantity and a printing setup that does not change. Options mean smaller quantities of each, and the price of an 8-page magazine stops being ₹499 and starts being a quote.

Time. Every option is a decision, and decisions are where orders stall. A customer choosing between four papers they cannot feel is a customer not ordering.

Certainty. We know exactly how these stocks print because we print on them constantly. A paper we use occasionally is a paper we know less well.

And most choices are not real choices

⚠️ You cannot judge paper from a description on a screen.

“Premium silk 200 GSM” against “luxe matte 250 GSM” is two phrases. Without holding both, the choice is being made on adjectives — which is why paper menus tend to sell the more expensive option rather than the better-suited one.

We would rather choose once, well, and put it in the price.

What you can choose

Plenty, and it is the part that changes the object:

Format Magazine, album, diary, prints, deck
Size Square or A4 albums; three print sizes
Page count 8 to 40 pages; 20 to 100 album pages
Lamination ₹3 a print, ₹10 a sheet on albums
Cover image and text Yours
Sequence, captions, layout All of it, at the proof

What we genuinely do not do

Said plainly so nobody discovers it late:

  • No foil, embossing or spot finishes
  • No leather, cloth or specialty covers
  • No handmade, textured or coloured stock
  • No satin or gloss inner pages
  • No photo-paper pages

⚠️ If a specific material is the point of the object — a foiled wedding album, a cloth-bound book — a specialist bindery is the right supplier and we would rather say so than take the order.

If you want to see the paper first

We do not send physical samples. We do send a full digital proof of every page before anything prints, which answers layout, sequence and captions but not how the paper feels. Can I see a sample before ordering? →

The lowest-risk way to feel the paper is a print pack at ₹270 — same 300 GSM matte card, in your hands, for less than the price of a magazine.

Frequently asked

Can I choose a different paper? No. One stock per product, and it is a large part of why an 8-page magazine is ₹499 rather than a quote.

Do you offer foil or embossing? No, and neither leather nor cloth covers. A specialist bindery is the right supplier for those.

Can I get glossy pages? No. Inner pages are non-glare for a reason, and lamination on prints is the one glossy option we offer.

Can I see the paper before ordering? Not as a physical sample. A print pack at ₹270 is the cheapest way to get the same card in your hands.

What can I choose? Format, size, page count, lamination, the cover, and every layout and caption decision at the proof.
