Our Story

Binder is India's first premium web-to-print platform where users can design books online using our editor, and sell them at the Binder Store.

We live in an age of abundance. We click thousands of photographs each year, yet we barely look back at any. A printed book of your selected photographs adds tangibility and timelessness to your work.

Binder was founded in 2018 by photographer-turned-publisher Shubhojit Chatterjee, in order to enable semi-professional and hobbyist photographers to make books without knowledge of complex software or print making. 

What is a photograph, if not printed?

Gerhard Steidl, the iconic German printer and publisher, once said that 'there is a haptic value to a printed book that you cannot find in digital media.' It is true. This 'haptic quality' - the feel and smell of paper, the visual weight of a photobook, the quality of imprint - is in totality a dimension that cannot be experienced on a digital screen. The Afghan Girl's portrait on the Nat Geo magazine cover was in print, not online.

All our books are printed using HP Indigo Digital-Offset printing press and bound with carefully chosen and imported materials. Our quality practices ensure high quality results and archival strength in our books.

All our archival prints are made on an 11 colour massive Epson inkjet printer, using archival pigments and paper.
