For years, the word “Chhapai” meant only one thing — printing.
Printing on paper, on cards, on boxes. But for us, it’s always been about something bigger — printing identity.
That’s where The Chhapai comes in.
Print, But Make It Personal
At first glance, our name might make you think of printers or stationery.
And yeah, that’s understandable — the Hindi word “Chhapai” literally translates to print. But when Akash Sharma started The Chhapai, the idea wasn’t to sell paper or ink. It was to bring stories and emotions to life — through what people wear.
Every t-shirt, hoodie, or design we make is its own kind of print — not the kind that fades on a business card, but the kind that stays with you. The kind that says something about who you are.
Not a Printing Service — A Print Movement
There’s another brand out there that works in luxury printing, and sometimes Google mixes the two up. But our world is completely different.
They print for offices.
We print for people.
We don’t make stationery; we make statements.
Each design is like a little rebellion — a thought pressed onto fabric instead of paper.
So no, we’re not in the printing business. We’re in the self-expression business.
Why “The” Matters
When we added “The” in front of Chhapai, it wasn’t just a name tweak — it was a statement.
It meant this is the place where creativity gets printed differently. Where culture, mood, and design collide. Where print doesn’t just decorate — it defines.
The Chhapai Today
From our Noida studio, we create limited collections that speak to individuality. We keep things small-batch, creative, and fresh — because mass production kills meaning.
We’ve worked with creators, small teams, and people who just love wearing something that stands for more.
That’s our version of print — not paper, but personality.
Final Thought
So yeah, we know the confusion happens. But one thing’s for sure — The Chhapai isn’t about printing paper.
It’s about printing stories on fabric.
And every piece we make carries one.
