Flex printing in Wakad serves one of the busiest residential and commercial pockets on the western side of Pimpri-Chinchwad. Wakad grew quickly on the back of the nearby Hinjewadi IT park, and the roads around Dange Chowk, Bhumkar Chowk, Datta Mandir Road and Kalewadi Road are now packed with gyms, restaurants, salons, clinics and shops. 3 Red Media prints their boards, lit signs and banners at Chandni Chowk, which sits on the same highway bypass, and delivers them to Wakad.
Wakad is under the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), not the PMC. Permission for banners and hoardings in public places is handled by PCMC, so check with them before anything goes up outdoors.
Who in Wakad orders the most printing
Young working families and professionals make up much of Wakad, and the businesses that follow them are the ones that print most often. Gyms and fitness studios lead the list, closely followed by restaurants and cafés, then salons, clinics, pre-schools and coaching classes.
Gyms and fitness studios
Gyms in Wakad often sit on upper floors of commercial buildings, so their frontage has to pull people up the stairs. A large, lit board facing the main road, a staircase or lift-lobby graphic, and motivational wall prints inside are the usual set. Gym branding covers the full list, including mirror-safe vinyl and wall sizes.
Restaurants and cafés
Food outlets near the chowks rely on being seen at night. A lit sign box with backlit flex is the common choice, with menu boards inside and offer banners for weekends and match nights.
LED sign board or backlit flex: what is the difference?
Many people in Wakad search for an “LED sign board” when what they want is a board that glows at night. There are two broad kinds. A backlit flex board is a metal box with LED lights inside and a printed flex face; the whole face glows evenly, and the face can be reprinted when you rebrand. An LED letter board has individually lit letters, often in acrylic, and is a fabrication job rather than a print job.
| Backlit flex in a box | Individual LED letters | |
|---|---|---|
| What glows | The whole printed face | Each letter or logo |
| Changing the design | Reprint the flex face | Rebuild the letters |
| Good for | Restaurants, gyms, shops with full-colour artwork | Premium brands with a simple name |
| What we print | The backlit flex face | Ask us on WhatsApp |
If you already have a box from an old board, send its inner size and we print a new face for it.
Societies and residential events in Wakad
Wakad has many large housing societies, and their calendar is full: Ganeshotsav, Navratri garba, Diwali, New Year, sports leagues and children’s events. Society committees usually need banners for the gate, stage backdrops for the clubhouse and notice boards. Festival banner printing lists common sizes for these.
- Collect the committee’s approval on the proof before printing, so nobody objects to wording later.
- If sponsors from local shops are paying for a banner, confirm their logos and the order early.
- For outdoor gate banners in the monsoon, ask for eyelets close together and tie them tight.
Pre-schools, salons and clinics in residential buildings
Many smaller Wakad businesses work out of the ground floor of residential towers. The society’s rules decide what can go on the outside wall, and often only a modest board above the door is allowed. In that case, the glass becomes the main advertising space: a pre-school can show its programmes and age groups on printed vinyl, a salon can show services and a logo, and a clinic can use frosted film with the doctor’s name cut out.
If space allows a standee just inside the door, use it for the details that change, such as fees, offers or new batches.
From our unit to Wakad
Wakad sits on the Katraj–Dehu Road bypass, the same road that passes our unit at Chandni Chowk, so deliveries go straight north along it and turn off at the Wakad junctions. Inside Wakad, roads around Dange Chowk and Bhumkar Chowk get congested at peak hours, so morning drops are usually easier for shops and gyms. Fixing can be arranged for frontage boards and lit sign faces.
Send your board size, a photo of the frontage and your design through the quote form to get started.
