3 Red Media takes on vinyl printing for Mumbai and Navi Mumbai when the job is large, planned or tied to Pune: exhibition stalls at the city’s big venues, glass and wall graphics for companies based in Pune, and branding rollouts that need matching vinyl in both cities. We print at our Chandni Chowk unit, which sits by the highway leading onto the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and send the finished work by road, roughly 150 km.
Mumbai has thousands of printers, many of them very good, so this page is not about being nearer or cheaper. It is about one supplier handling a Pune and Mumbai job end to end, with every proof on WhatsApp and no surprises at the venue.
Jobs that make sense to send from Pune
Exhibition stalls
Pune companies exhibit regularly at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Goregaon, the Jio World Convention Centre in BKC and the CIDCO Exhibition Centre in Vashi. When the marketing team, the samples and the stall designer are all in Pune, it is simpler to proof and print the graphics here and send them with the rest of the stall material. Our exhibition stall printing page explains panel sizes and fixing.
Two-city rollouts
A chain refreshing its stores, a bank updating branch posters or a developer launching projects in both Pune and Navi Mumbai needs the same colours everywhere. Printing the whole set of vinyl in one run, then splitting it by city, avoids the small colour differences that show up when two printers work from one file. Shop glass, door lettering and counter stickers are covered under vinyl sticker printing and vinyl lettering.
Glass, walls and vehicles
Offices and showrooms ask for one way vision and frosted glass film on street-facing and partition glass, and wall graphics for reception areas. Fleet owners with vehicles in both cities use vehicle branding for a matched look.
Corporate and private events
Offsites, dealer meets and family functions organised from Pune but held in Mumbai often need entry boards, table signs and photo-wall vinyl designed here. The frame or truss is usually supplied by the venue or decorator; we print to their drawing. Wedding families from Pune hosting a reception in Mumbai find that the invitation design is already here, so the vinyl matches it exactly.
What travels well over 150 km
| Item | How it travels | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl graphics for walls or glass | Rolled, unmounted | Apply at site; check surface prep with the venue |
| Sunboard prints | Flat, corners protected | Can dent; pack spares for key panels |
| Roll-up standees | In their own carry bags | Reusable at the next show |
| Flex banners and backdrops | Rolled on a core, wrapped | The one row in this table that is not vinyl; travels very well |
| Very large single pieces | Rolled, labelled by position | Agree a joining plan with the installer first |
Planning a Mumbai job from Pune
The usual mistake is to treat a Mumbai job like a Pune one. The delivery leg is costed on its own, by load and distance, and the drive itself takes time, so build in at least one extra day. For a show, aim for the print to reach the venue before build-up begins, not on the morning it opens. Venues have their own entry rules and loading-bay timings, so share the organiser’s logistics note with us.
For a permanent board for a Mumbai or Navi Mumbai shop, remember that Maharashtra requires shop name boards to show the name in Marathi (Devanagari), and the municipal corporations, BMC in Mumbai and NMMC in Navi Mumbai, have been enforcing it. Check your ward office’s latest guidance before finalising the design.
Cost of vinyl for Mumbai jobs
The material side of a Mumbai order is calculated the same way as for Pune; what changes is delivery, packing and any fixing at the venue. Our vinyl printing price guide explains how per-sq-ft pricing works.
Send the show name, stall number and build-up date in your first message. Those three details decide the whole delivery plan.
Packing labels matter more on a long run than on a local one. We mark each roll or board by position, such as left panel or fascia, so the installer in Mumbai knows what goes where without opening everything. If you have a Mumbai installer already, share their contact name with us so rolls and instructions reach the right hands.
