Flex printing in Sus is largely about new beginnings. Sus has grown from a village on the edge of Pune into a busy residential area, helped by its road links to Baner, Pashan and the Hinjewadi IT park, and new buildings, shops and schools keep opening. 3 Red Media prints the banners and boards those openings need at its Chandni Chowk unit and delivers them to Sus and the older Sus Gaon area.
Many of the new buildings in Sus are multi-storey rentals and family societies, so shop owners here are often setting up for the first time and need everything at once. Schools are another big group: a lot of private schools have come up in and around Sus.
A new shop in Sus: what to print, in order
If you are opening a grocery, pharmacy, salon, bakery or clothing store, here is the order that usually works. Doing it in this sequence means the most permanent print is decided first, and the rest matches it.
- 1. Name board. Decide the shop name, logo and colours, with the name in Marathi (Devanagari) and English. This board sets the look for everything else. See shop branding for frontage ideas.
- 2. Glass and shutter. Timings, phone number and services on the glass door with cut vinyl, and a printed shutter if you want the shop visible after hours.
- 3. Opening banner. A temporary flex announcing the opening date and any launch offer, usually 6×3 ft to 10×4 ft.
- 4. Inside the shop. Price boards, a counter standee and wall graphics behind the billing desk.
- 5. Society notice prints. Small A3 or 2×3 ft prints for nearby society notice boards, where the committee allows them.
Get the board and the opening banner designed together. When customers see the same colours and logo on both, they remember the name.
Schools and pre-schools in Sus
With so many families moving in, schools and pre-schools in Sus advertise heavily during admission season and hold regular events for parents. Typical orders are admission flex for the gate and nearby chowks, annual day backdrops and sports day banners. School banner printing covers sizes and placement in more detail.
Builders, to-let boards and site prints
Construction is still active around Sus, so builder hoardings, barricade flex and sample-flat signage are regular work. Smaller owners also need to-let and for-sale boards on balconies and gates, which are best on sunboard or flex with eyelets so they can be tied to a grill without tearing in the wind.
| Who orders it in Sus | Material | |
|---|---|---|
| Site hoarding | Builders and developers | Flex on frame; see real estate hoardings |
| Barricade panels | Contractors on active sites | Flex fixed to metal sheets |
| To-let or for-sale board | Flat and shop owners | Sunboard or small flex |
| Society possession banner | New societies and committees | Flex with eyelets |
Local tips for Sus
Sus sits on rising ground towards the hills, and it gets windy in the monsoon. Banners on open plots or high railings should be well tied with eyelets close together, and long-term boards should go on a frame. Also, many roads in Sus are still being widened and improved, so a board that is visible today may be blocked by a divider or a new structure later; mount it high where you can.
Outdoor banners in public places come under the local authority’s permission rules. Sus falls within the PMC area after the merger of fringe villages, so ask the ward office before putting up anything on a public road.
Delivery to Sus and Sus Gaon
From Chandni Chowk, the usual route is north along the highway bypass to the point where it crosses Sus Road, then into Sus. Some deliveries go through Bavdhan and Pashan instead when that is clearer. Sus Gaon’s older lanes are narrow, so we may meet you at a nearby landmark if a larger roll is involved. When you have the size and design, ask for a quote.
