The print store at Sakinaka is similar to retail stores like McDonalds and Subway with a standard menu. Besides the pictures of all the products such as business cards, letter-heads, envelopes etc along with their rates, when you enter the store you can see newly developed branding which gives an overview of the verticals PrintStop cater to.

Milap Shah, co-founder, PrintStop, said, “We have standardised the product and the rates are product-focussed rather than print-focussed.”

The retail print shop behaves as a front-end for PrintStop. All kind of jobs are accepted at this facility however only the short-run jobs are printed, the larger jobs are accomplished at Parel facility.

PrintStop has an online job submission portal which enables the clients to submit, store and track their print orders.

“The convenience of online ordering is that you can order from your desk and the products will get delivered to your doorstep. Also you have access to your previous orders, which you can reorder at any point.” Shah added. 

Meanwhile, the digital print firm will also launch new corporate gifting products like pens and stationery like carbonless pads, online coupons, and stamps.

Shah said, “Right now the laser engraving on the pens is being outsourced as we will be testing it for few days. We saw an interesting flash machine which can produce a digital print. Initially we will launch it online and subsequently will be launched across the stores.”

Along with Parel facility which is the main print hub, PrintStop has printing facilities at Sion, Vile Parle, Powai, Kandivali and now Sakinaka.
