Offset Printing in Kochi
Offset Printing supplied into Kochi, alongside the ranges that make up the bulk of our work there.
Offset Printing for Kochi
Demand in Kochi is built on spices and spice extracts, seafood processing and export, rubber products and ayurvedic manufacturing. Food processing draws on this range, though it sits alongside rather than ahead of the lines listed below. Offset Printing are quoted per job for Kochi rather than against a price break, so a smaller run is normal work there.
What decides the specification
With offset printing the question is always registration held across a long run, and colour read against an approved target. Humidity is the constraint in Kochi. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Kochi are run on a heavier caliper than the same job for a dry market.
Cartons and inserts are where offset still wins outright, because the text is small, the register has to be exact, and the run lengths are long enough to pay for plates.
When offset printing are ordered from Kochi they come against a seasonal pack calendar, the same way the rest of that trade buys. What already moves from our floor to Kochi is cold and damp-surface labels for seafood and spice jar and pouch labels, so a offset printing enquiry from Kochi is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. It goes out by road — 2,600 km — and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Kochi.

Questions
Offset Printing in Kochi — questions we are asked
Do you supply offset printing in Kochi?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Road, 2,600 km — 5 working days.
What do Kochi customers use offset printing for?
Food processing mainly. Cold and damp-surface labels for seafood, spice jar and pouch labels, export carton labels, ayurvedic product labels — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
What is the lead time for offset printing to Kochi?
Road, 2,600 km — 5 working days. On top of that allow for proofing: offset printing artwork for Kochi is approved digitally before any plate or die is cut, and on a repeat Kochi order that step drops away because the die is already on file.
How do Kochi buyers usually order offset printing?
Against a seasonal pack calendar, so the reorder is usually the same die with a new flavour panel — that is the pattern across most of our Kochi work in this range. Tell us the quantity and the reorder interval and we will quote the die and the material once, then hold both on file for Kochi repeats.
