Case study: in-store branding at about 15 salons in Pune for Streax Professional, with sunboard-mounted photo prints, self-adhesive vinyl, one-way vision film, roll-up standees and shop boards.
Streax, the hair-colour and hair-care brand of Hygienic Research Institute (HRI), needs its products to be seen in the salons where they are used and sold. As with every retail brand, visibility at the point of sale matters.
Salons and men’s parlours are typical point-of-sale (POS) locations for in-store branding. We handled the in-store branding for Streax Professional, the brand’s salon range, at about 15 salons here in Pune.

Every standee in this project was a roll-up: it sets up in under a minute and packs into its own bag. Watch one being set up:
The Streax project is a typical multi-outlet job: one brand, many locations, and different sizes at every spot. Streax supplied the artwork; we measured each salon, fitted the artwork to every size, costed the work store by store, then printed, installed and photographed each finished outlet.
For salons, showrooms and retail counters today, we make sunboard prints, self-adhesive vinyl prints, one-way vision glass film, roll-up standees (also in wide-body and luxury versions), tabletop standees for counters and floor graphics.
How to start: send us your store list, a photo and the sizes of each spot, and your artwork. If you need artwork made, see the designers we recommend. A site visit is usually not needed; it is available on request as a paid service. In Pune, we install on orders of ₹10,000 + GST and above, quoted separately; outside Pune, we ship and your local team installs. The minimum order is ₹3,000 + GST.
More in-store branding work: Godrej & Boyce hardware stores, Johnson & Johnson and Royal Canin. Ready to start? Contact us.

Mitesh lives, mostly for Saturdays.
But when forced to work, you’ll find him heading Orchid Digitals – a printing press in Pune.
If it’s an emergency, try looking for him in the hills behind his house. You’ll almost certainly find him… lazing under a tree, with a book in hand.
Jehangir Hospital’s name now glows on top of its new multi-level car park, right by Pune station. Behind the scenes: climbing the unfinished building, two sample letters for the board, 3 mm aluminium letters with Osram LEDs, a running-cost sum, letters carried up 12 levels by hand, chemical anchors and an engineer’s sign-off.
How lit 3D letters are made, shown with our 3D-printed demo letter M: a back panel with LEDs, a hollow printed shell and a 3 mm acrylic face. Plus how channel letters are made on our bending machine, and which one suits your sign.
