Flex printing in Chakan means industrial work at a larger scale. Chakan’s MIDC and the industrial parks around it host vehicle assembly plants, their component suppliers and a growing ring of warehouses, all connected by the Pune to Nashik highway and the Chakan to Talegaon road. 3 Red Media prints event backdrops, plant banners and warehouse signage for them at Chandni Chowk and arranges delivery to the gate.
Chakan has printers of its own, and for a quick single banner a local shop may be the easier call. Where we fit is planned work: a vendor meet, a plant celebration or a warehouse fit-out, where getting the proof approved by several people and the delivery booked to a gate pass matters more than walking distance.
A year of plant events in Chakan
Large plants run on a calendar, and the printing follows it. This is what usually comes through from admin, HR and purchase teams:
| Event | When it usually falls | What gets printed |
|---|---|---|
| National Safety Week | Early March | Theme banners, slogan boards, stage backdrop for prizes |
| Supplier or vendor meet | Whenever the purchase calendar sets it | Stage backdrop, entry arch, standees, table signs |
| Plant anniversary or production milestone | Fixed date each year | Large backdrop, photo wall, gate banner |
| Republic Day and Independence Day | 26 January, 15 August | Flag-hoisting area backdrop, gate banners |
| Diwali celebration | October or November | Greeting banners, rangoli competition boards |
| Customer or VIP visit | At short notice | Welcome board, walkway signs, lobby graphics |
For backdrops, stage sizes and frames, see event backdrop printing. For the stalls some companies set up at their own vendor meets, the exhibition stall printing page has panel and standee advice.
Warehouses and logistics parks
The warehouses around Chakan need signage that a driver, a picker and a forklift operator can all read at a glance. That means big numbers and simple colours rather than design. Typical orders:
- Dock door numbers, printed large on vinyl or flex, readable from the truck yard.
- Rack and aisle labels, usually vinyl stickers or vinyl on sunboard.
- Zone boards: inbound, outbound, returns, hold, hazardous.
- Pedestrian walkway and forklift-lane markings, using laminated floor graphics where paint is not used.
- Gate signs with entry rules, speed limit and PPE reminders for visiting drivers.
Chakan town, beyond the plants
Chakan is also an old market town, with a busy market yard, shops along the highway and a fast-growing ring of housing for people who work in the plants. Shops, hostels, canteens and training institutes here order fascia boards, admission flex and offer banners. The same proof-first process applies, and small jobs can travel with a larger plant delivery going the same way.
How a Chakan plant usually orders from us
- The admin or HR person sends the event, the date and rough sizes on WhatsApp.
- We send a quote early, so it can go through internal approval or a purchase order while the design is being finished.
- The design comes from your corporate communications team or we set it from your brand guidelines and logo files.
- A proof goes to WhatsApp; it is easy to forward to the plant head or the communications team for a final yes.
- Printing happens only after approval, then finishing: eyelets, pockets, framing or lamination as needed.
- Delivery is arranged to the plant gate with the receiver’s name and any reference security needs.
Delivery from Chandni Chowk to Chakan
Chakan is outside Pune city, north of PCMC on the Nashik highway, so delivery is arranged separately and its cost depends on the distance and the size of the job. Keep a day or more of margin beyond what an in-city order would need, and extra around big festivals when the Nashik highway is crowded. A firm dispatch day is given only once the proof is signed off. Fixing at the plant can be arranged where your safety rules allow outside workers.
Plant gates often close inward for the day at a fixed time. Tell us that time in your first message so the delivery is planned to reach before it.
