Our Story

38 Years of Print. One City. One Standard.

Paper Print Services has been printing for India's most demanding brands since 1987. Founded by Arvind Rawat in the heart of Mumbai, and built, job by job, into one of India's most trusted commercial and packaging print houses.

How It Started

Started by a Printer. Run by Printers.

Arvind Rawat entered the printing industry in 1981, not as a businessman, but as someone who genuinely understood the craft. Six years of learning the trade from the inside gave him a clear picture of what the industry needed: a press house that combined technical rigour with genuine client partnership.

In 1987, he founded Paper Print Services in Mumbai. The early years were built on a simple belief, that quality and timeliness are not optional extras, they are the product. That belief has not changed in 38 years.

Today, Paper Print Services operates from a press floor in central Mumbai, with an experienced team, serving FMCG companies, pharmaceutical brands, financial institutions, and retailers across India.

Commercial printing and packaging printing, both, done to the same exacting standard on every single job.
