Printing Press in Pokhara: What Is Listed and How to Choose
Quick answer: NepalYP listed 27 printing businesses in Pokhara in November 2026, including Print Patra, Rang Sansar Digital Arts, Chhunumunu Publication Pvt. and New Fewa Print and Suppliers. Many other entries are named "Color Lab", which are typically photo-printing labs, so confirm whether a business does offset, digital, flex or packaging work before you send a brief. No Pokhara press we found publishes a rate card, so compare itemised quotes on one brief.
The Western Region, which includes Pokhara, scores 67 on the relative scale in the Nepal Google Trends data (Central = 100), the second strongest region for the term "printing". That is a large pool of demand but fewer verified, published details per press than in Kathmandu. This guide shows how to work with that.

Rates in Pokhara
No Pokhara business in the listing publishes a rate card. Verified public figures are national or online listings and not Pokhara-specific: for example business cards from NPR 1.20 to NPR 4.80 per card by quantity on one online price list, flex from NPR 20 to NPR 35 per sq ft on two vendor pages (checked 10 November 2026). See printing prices in Nepal.
Ordering from Pokhara to a Kathmandu press
Some jobs need a specialised press or a wider choice than local listings give. A remote order works if you:
- Send the full specification and print-ready files.
- Approve a digital proof carefully, including Nepali text.
- Ask for a printed sample if colour or paper matters.
- Agree the courier, the date and who pays.
- Inspect on arrival and report problems the same day.

Thankyooou and Pokhara
Thankyooou's pages say it receives print and packaging enquiries from Anamnagar, Kathmandu, and can discuss offset printing for books and pamphlets with binding and finishing, plus custom packaging and other printed materials. Collection, delivery and timing depend on the job and destination and are confirmed per enquiry, and no Pokhara location is stated. If you want to compare a Kathmandu quote with a local one, send your brief.
