Press Comparison Nepal 2027: Thankyooou, Global Nepal and Others
Quick answer: On public information checked on 11 November 2026, no press can be called "best", because the facts that decide a job (rates, turnaround, samples, proof policy) are mostly unpublished by every press compared here, including Thankyooou. What the comparison does show: Sangini Press publishes the most equipment detail, Classic Printing Service lists the widest range of everyday jobs in its directory text, Creative Link publishes registration details and delivery claims, Thankyooou (part of Global Nepal Printing Press, per its About page) publishes an online product catalogue with product pages for 758 packaging and print products plus a packaging studio in beta, and none of the six presses compared publishes a rate card.
Disclosure: this page is published by Thankyooou, which is one of the presses compared. Thankyooou's About page says it is part of Global Nepal Printing Press and brings 17 years of printing experience (a company claim). Thankyooou is therefore listed first and Global Nepal Printing Press Service second; the order is not a ranking, and the two are not independent of each other. Every claim about another press is attributed to its own page or to a named public source, and "not found" means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
This article follows Best printing press in Nepal 2027, which explains the 10-point scorecard. Here we apply the first step of that scorecard: what each press actually publishes.

Who does publish rates
Presses publish almost no rates, but some print shops and suppliers do. These are listings checked on 10 November 2026, not Thankyooou prices and not a market average.
| Business | Type | What it publishes |
|---|---|---|
| Print Pasal | Online print shop | Business cards NPR 1.20 to NPR 4.80 per card by quantity (single-sided, 300 GSM, matte-laminated); A5 flyer NPR 12 one side; 12 × 18 paper sticker NPR 78 |
| Glow N Sign | Signs and banners | Flex from NPR 20 per sq ft, print only; vinyl stickers NPR 75 and UV stickers NPR 135 per sq ft |
| Digital Madhesh | Banners | Flex from NPR 35 per sq ft |
| KBG | Bag supplier | Printed non-woven bags NPR 400, 490, 550 per kg; 10 kg minimum per type |
| DG Click | Bag printing | NPR 375 single side, NPR 475 both sides per kg |
See printing prices in Nepal for the caveats on each figure.
What the comparison shows
- No press publishes rates. Classic Printing Service's only public figure is a tender bid of NPR 49,383.04 excluding VAT for printing the "Nagarik Aarogya" pamphlet (contract NHEICC-NCB-05/082/083, published 26 Jestha 2083), with no quantity or specification. Sangini says "price available on request". Creative Link and API say pricing is transparent or competitive without numbers. Global Nepal's only public number is a bank tender total: NPR 13,84,350.00 excluding VAT for the bank's "Printing & Supply of Calendar 2083" (published 18 Falgun 2082), with no quantity or specification, so it cannot be turned into a rate. Thankyooou's pages also publish no prices.
- Equipment is rarely named. Sangini is the only press here that states machines and formats.
- Packaging is shown differently. Thankyooou's site has an online catalogue of 758 packaging and print products, with a product page for each, and a packaging studio in beta, Packlens, described on its page as a way to explore package structures and prepare packaging concepts. No other press compared publishes an equivalent catalogue.
- Delivery and turnaround are claims. Only Creative Link states them, and they are its own claims.
- Absence is not weakness. A press that publishes little may still do excellent work. Publication tells you how much you can check before you call, not how good the work is.
What this means for your choice
Use the matrix to decide what you must ask, because everything marked "Not found" is a question for that press.
| If your job is | Start by asking |
|---|---|
| Books, brochures or annual reports | Sangini and Thankyooou for offset samples and binding; Creative Link for its book printing; all for a bound sample |
| Packaging boxes, bags, labels | Thankyooou for catalogue structures and a dieline; others for die-cutting and minimums. See best press for packaging |
| Urgent small jobs (cards, flyers) | Creative Link and Global Nepal for turnaround in writing; see what urgent printing costs |
| Banners and signs | API, Creative Link and Global Nepal for flex rates per sq ft; see flex banner sizes |
| Lowest price | Request itemised quotes from all, and compare against published online rates; see printing prices in Nepal |
Ten questions to send every press
- What machines will print my job, and what is the largest sheet size?
- Can I see a printed sample like mine, and a bound sample for a book?
- What is the price per unit at two quantities, itemised?
- What does the price include: artwork, proof, tax, delivery?
- What is the proof process, and is a printed proof available?
- What is the ready date, in writing?
- Which steps (binding, die-cutting, lamination) are outsourced?
- How are Nepali fonts and bleed checked? See artwork file prep
- What happens if there is a printing error?
- Can you give a past client as a reference?
Send the same list to all six and use the scorecard to compare their answers.
Where Thankyooou fits

It publishes no prices or delivery-time promises. To compare it with the others, send your brief through the contact page, browse the product catalogue, try Packlens or read Printing Press in Kathmandu.
