Find print and xerox shops in Shivajinagar, bengaluru

About this place

Shivajinagar is one of Bengaluru's oldest commercial arteries, a congested grid that grew up around the Cantonment in the 1800s and never really slowed down. Today it pulls double duty: a residential pocket of old-Mysore-style homes and a daytime working crowd that swells when offices open. The lanes around Commercial Street and Shivajinagar bus stand stay packed with shoppers, auto-rickshaws, and street vendors selling everything from second-hand books to biryani. Residential blocks sit cheek-by-jowl with government buildings, coaching centres, and small IT offices, which is why a printer on the corner usually has a queue. Across the 560001 and 560051 pin codes, 14 listed xerox and print shops keep the paper flowing.

Getting here and around

The Purple Line drops you at Shivajinagar metro station, which is the single most useful way to arrive without losing your mind to traffic. From there, most of the print shops are a short auto ride or a ten-minute walk along old Mumbai Road. BMTC buses crowd the main depot, and private buses head to Majestic, KR Puram, and the railway station. Parking is bad — don't bring a car unless you have to, and even then budget fifteen minutes just to find a slot. Most locals walk between the lanes on foot.

Why printing demand is high here

This isn't a sleepy suburb. Coaching institutes, tuition classes, and small colleges operate out of nearly every second building, so students stream in for notes, project reports, and last-minute assignments. On the parallel track, government offices and a clutch of corporate back-offices keep the B&W copiers humming with applications, affidavits, and contracts. Residential demand holds steady through the year, but exam season (March–May and October–November) is when queues get visibly longer. With 14 listed xerox and print shops operating in the area, locals have a real choice, and competitive pricing actually wins.

What people typically print here

Project reports and bound dissertations are the bread and butter, usually in colour with spiral binding and a laminated cover. Coaching handouts get photocopied in bulk — fifty-page packets stapled and ready. Job seekers run off stacks of résumés, and small shopkeepers print GST invoices, menus, and flex banners through the same outlets. Passport photos, Aadhaar updates, and PAN card forms keep the instant-print machines busy all afternoon. Scan-to-email and PDF conversion jobs are a quiet but steady earner for the shops.
