Vinyl printing in Tathawade is mostly about new buildings: housing societies that need a name, a wayfinding set and a clubhouse look, and fresh shops that need a first board. 3 Red Media prints that vinyl at Chandni Chowk, on the same highway corridor, and delivers it to Tathawade and Punawale once you approve the proof.
Because so much here is recently built, there is very little old signage to work around. That is useful. You can plan the fascia, the glass and the interior walls together instead of fixing each one separately later.
Vinyl for societies and builders’ sample flats
New complexes in Tathawade and Punawale need a surprising amount of printed material before the first family moves in. Think of tower names, floor numbers, direction arrows, parking bay marks, amenity door signs and notice boards.
- Tower and wing identification on lobby walls, cut from coloured vinyl
- Floor numbers and lift lobby graphics in a single consistent style
- Parking and visitor labels on pillars and walls
- Amenity door labels for gym, clubhouse and terrace
- Printed vinyl for sample flat displays and sales office windows
Using one typeface and one colour scheme across all of them is what makes a complex look finished. Our vinyl lettering page explains how cut letters differ from printed ones, and why cut letters suit plain single-colour signs.
Vinyl shop board and window vinyl near the college stretch
Near the colleges and hostels around Tathawade you find tiffin services, stationery counters, photocopy and print counters, gyms, laundries and quick eateries. Their customers are young, walking past in minutes, so a window panel or fascia with a short message and a clear logo works better than a crowded one.
| Where it goes | Material | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Shopfront glass | Printed vinyl sticker or frosted film | Offers can be peeled and replaced |
| Fascia | Sign board with vinyl on a rigid base | Stays flat in hot sun |
| Shutter | Vinyl on a thin board or a direct vinyl face | Visible even when shut |
| Delivery bike or van | Vehicle vinyl panels | Moves your name across the neighbourhood |
Wall graphics for gyms, cafés and offices
Gyms and co-working spaces in the newer buildings often want a feature wall: a large motivational line, a mural-style print, or a brand pattern. Wall graphics printed on vinyl are fitted in panels, so the wall must be dry and smooth before anything goes on. Tell us about the wall surface in the quote form, because paint type matters.
Delivery up the highway
Our unit sits on the Mumbai-Bengaluru highway side of the city, so vinyl heading to Tathawade and Punawale travels along the same road corridor. Delivery for large rolls and boards goes by road. If you are driving past Chandni Chowk anyway, collecting it saves a leg.
Sizes and finishing are agreed before printing: eyelets for banners, lamination for outdoor stickers, framing or mounting for boards.
New buildings often change their branding colours after handover. Send the final colour codes rather than a screenshot of the old board.
What to check before you order for a new building
New construction brings its own wrinkles. Walls may be freshly painted and still curing, glass may carry a protective coating from the builder, and handover dates move. A print that arrives early and sits in a car boot is no use, so agree the fitting date first and the print date second.
- Ask the builder or society committee which colours and lettering style are already approved.
- Check that wall paint has fully cured, which can take weeks after painting.
- Count the signs and list their sizes in one sheet, then send it together.
- Decide who will fit the vinyl, and share the person’s name if a site pass is needed.
Colleges, hostels and paying-guest buildings
Student housing and paying-guest buildings near the highway colleges need room numbers, house rules, fire exit signs and notice frames. These are simple vinyl jobs, but they add up to many pieces in one building. Sending a floor-wise list lets us group the sizes so there is less waste on the roll.
Nearby, the pages for Hinjewadi and Wakad describe the offices and shopfronts on the other side of the highway. When you are ready, open the quote form and add the size, the surface and the design.
