Printing Prices in Nepal: Public Examples and Quote Checklist
Quick answer: Public listings checked on 10 November 2026 range from NPR 1.20 per single-sided business card at a 2,001–10,000 quantity tier to NPR 20–35 per square foot for some banner “from” rates. These are individual vendor examples with different specifications; they are not a Nepal market average or Thankyooou price list. Most pages do not disclose enough detail to compare fully.
A print price only makes sense beside its specification. Size, stock and GSM, colour, printed sides, quantity, lamination, die-cut, setup, artwork, delivery, and tax can all change the total. The examples below help you ask better questions, not predict a final quote.

The business-card examples are from Print Pasal single-sided and both-sided. Flyer and catalogue listings are also available in Print Pasal’s product catalogue; each product page should be checked at order time. Prices can change.
What the price ladder really says
For the listed single-sided 300 GSM matte-laminated business card, the normal per-card tiers are NPR 4.80 for 25–100, NPR 3.60 for 101–499, NPR 1.80 for 501–1,000, NPR 1.50 for 1,001–2,000, and NPR 1.20 for 2,001–10,000. Listed urgent rates are NPR 12, 9.60, 6, 4.80, and 3.60 across those same tiers. The supplier’s separate both-sided listing shows NPR 6 but does not expose the same volume ladder. Do not merge these as one rate table or assume rush production is available for every specification.
For flyers, some posted unit amounts do not show quantity tiers. Ask whether a listing applies per piece, per set, or to a minimum quantity. A listed amount without its quantity basis is a clue to request clarification, not a reliable quote.
How paper GSM affects the comparison
GSM is grammage, not a complete paper specification. A 150 GSM coated art paper and an uncoated stock at the same GSM can feel and print differently. Ask for paper type/name and GSM together. For cards, flyers, or covers, say whether the quoted GSM applies to all pages or only the cover. For packaging, GSM alone does not establish board strength or barrier performance.
Lamination and other finishes also need exact scope: matte or gloss, one or both sides, full surface or selected area. Foil, emboss/deboss, UV, die-cut, folding, binding, and assembly may be separate. Ask for sample/proof terms if the finish is important.
Flex price per square foot
Glow N Sign publishes a standard flex starting rate of NPR 20/sq ft, described as print-only, while Digital Madhesh publishes from NPR 35/sq ft. The Glow N Sign FAQ shows different normal flex figures and a broad NPR 25–80 range, so its public information is internally inconsistent. Treat all figures as vendor examples, not a harmonized market range. Confirm material (standard, backlit, mesh or other), print area, minimum charge, hems, eyelets, pockets, mounting, frame, installation, tax, and delivery. See Glow N Sign’s price guide, banner FAQ, and Digital Madhesh pricing.
Stickers, boxes and bags
A 12 × 18 paper sticker listing at NPR 78 cannot be compared directly with a large-format vinyl decal priced by square foot. Decide whether you need sheets, individual die-cuts, labels on rolls, or a wall/window graphic; specify material, adhesive, finish, cut, and count. Plain corrugated boxes listed at NPR 29–53 in 6–12 inch cubes are not evidence for printed custom cartons. For bags, public sources include per-kilogram non-woven listings whose printing inclusion is unclear, and paper bag vendors that disclose minimum quantities but not numeric per-piece rates.
Request a quote that can be compared
Copy this into your enquiry:
Product and finished size: Quantity (and alternate tiers): Material / paper type and GSM: Colour and printed sides: Finish, fold, binding, die-cut or assembly: Artwork ready? Proof/sample required? Delivery location and required date: Please itemize design, setup/plate/die, production, finishing, packing, tax, delivery, and any exclusions.
Ask two or more providers to quote the exact same brief. Compare total delivered price and expected quality, not only unit cost. If quantities differ, compare the total spend and likely unused stock.
For product-specific help, read business card printing prices, custom boxes, labels and stickers, and flex banner prices. For a quote, visit Thankyooou’s commercial printing page.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price of 1,000 business cards in Nepal?
One public listing shows NPR 1.80 per card for a 501–1,000 tier for its single-sided 300 GSM matte-laminated specification. Confirm live pricing, quantity interpretation, artwork, tax, and delivery with the supplier; it is not a Thankyooou quote.
Does higher GSM always cost more?
Not necessarily in a simple linear way. Stock type, size, print process, run size, finishing, and supplier availability affect the total. Compare a named material and GSM.
Why do print shops quote different prices?
They may be quoting different stock, sizes, sides, colour, finish, setup, proof, quantity, schedule, or delivery. Ask each to state the assumed specification.
Is there a complete official printing price list for Nepal?
This research did not find a current government schedule that represents private commercial print-market prices. Government procurement rates and tenders are project-specific and should not be described as standard retail prices.
