Offset Printing for Surat
Demand in Surat is built on man-made textiles and saree processing, diamond cutting and polishing and chemical dyeing. Garments and retail in particular buy this range steadily, and the work is repeat work — the die, the material code and the colour target stay on file so a reorder is a phone call rather than a fresh setup.
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 Surat. Board takes up moisture and loses stiffness, so cartons going to Surat 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.
A Surat order for offset printing arrives per style and per season, in many small quantities rather than one large one. What already moves from our floor to Surat is fabric roll and thaan labels and care and composition labels, so a offset printing enquiry from Surat is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. It goes out by road — 1,150 km — and a humid destination is what the board and the ink film have to be specified against for Surat.

Questions
Offset Printing in Surat — questions we are asked
Do you supply offset printing in Surat?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Road, 1,150 km — 3 working days.
What do Surat customers use offset printing for?
Garments and retail mainly. Fabric roll and thaan labels, care and composition labels, high-security tamper-evident seals, small-format jewellery tags — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
What is the lead time for offset printing to Surat?
Road, 1,150 km — 3 working days. On top of that allow for proofing: offset printing artwork for Surat is approved digitally before any plate or die is cut, and on a repeat Surat order that step drops away because the die is already on file.
How do Surat buyers usually order offset printing?
Per style and per season, in many small quantities rather than one large one — that is the pattern across most of our Surat 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 Surat repeats.
