Durow Stamps & Prints

Our shop, Durow Stamps & Prints, is located right in the Goodluck Building. It’s pretty easy to find since we’re right across from the Geo Hotel and not too far from St Sebastian Church in Thoppumpady. We spend most of our time dealing with ink, paper, and machines that sometimes have a mind of their own. It gets messy. There’s usually a stack of orders waiting on the counter, and the smell of fresh print is always in the air. We’ve been in this spot for a bit now. It’s a tight space, but we’ve organized it so we can find what we need, mostly. Sometimes the noise from the street gets a bit loud, but you get used to it after a while. We handle a lot of small jobs for people in the neighborhood who just walk in. It’s mostly just us here, making sure the stamps are straight and the prints come out looking okay. If a machine jams, we fix it ourselves with whatever tools are handy. No fancy uniforms here, just clothes we don’t mind getting a bit of ink on. People tell us what they need, and we get to work. It’s a basic business. We try to keep things moving so no one’s waiting too long on the sidewalk. Thoppumpady is a busy area, so there’s always something happening outside our door. Sometimes we stay late when a big order comes in, but that’s just part of the job.
