Vehicle Branding – Detailed Description
Vehicle branding is one of the most visible and creative ways to showcase your company identity, corporate logo, and product pics.
Visible, because where else will you get a vehicle (pun intended) for your marketing efforts that moves all over the city and instantly garners attention wherever it goes.
Creative & artistic because a smartly designed and properly installed car wrap can significantly enhance the beauty of your vehicle and make it stand out from the crowd at the traffic signal.
Have you ever wondered about the custom car branding and bus branding prints and how they completely alter the automobile’s looks? And in the process, these prints also perform three essential functions.
- They attract the viewer’s attention.
- They prominently display company logos and colours to make the vehicle look unique.
- In addition to creating brand identity, you can also use vehicle prints for advertisement. For example, the side panels of delivery vans can display your product images, services and sales offers.
But before you undertake a project to change the look of your vehicle by ordering custom stickers for cars, you need to go through this post which shares the following important information:
- The types of vehicle vinyl we use, and where each one fits
- The pros and cons of using these different types of vinyl
- The production and installation process we follow
- The price you should expect to pay for your vehicle advertising project
What Are Custom Printed Vehicle Advertising Prints Used For?
There are mainly two ways to customise your vehicle.
Option A: Walk into a car accessories store. Here you can browse through a ready album of designs. But can only choose from generic or stock car decals. And while these designs will enhance the look of your vehicle, they will not help in stamping it with your company-specific information.
Option B: A print bureau, on the other hand, can recreate any custom-designed vehicle graphics you share with them. This enables you to personalise your car/van/truck with your specific content containing your logos, company colours, and even product images. And this is how custom prints on commercial vehicles help distinguish your automobile from other similar models.
For example, many corporate firms provide cars to their executives with the company logo tastefully displayed on the side panels. Cab aggregators like Uber and Ola use vinyl stickers to brand their taxis as well. This helps in instant identification by prospective passengers.
Advertising on Tata Ace, the ubiquitous ‘Chota Hathi’, on our Indian roads is also done in a similar manner. In fact, the side panels of all delivery vehicles like the Tempo Traveller, trucks, etc., can be deployed to display a company’s product images, service listings, or advertise sales offers, etc.
Speciality use vehicles like hospital ambulances carry messages displaying emergency helplines while food trucks show alluring food shots and menus. In Pune, public transport like municipal buses and even auto-rickshaws eagerly sell ad space that covers the sides of their vehicle bodies.
And each of these different types of vehicles needs different vinyl media to get the work done. So let’s have a look at the various solutions available in the market.
Types of Vehicle Branding Media
We keep vehicle branding simple. You choose from three options, and for particular jobs we add a few special finishes.
The three options:
- Polymeric vinyl (Wyte Stretchcal 32 or 3M IJ40C) for flat surfaces, such as door panels and the flat part of the bonnet
- Cast vinyl (Wyte cast vinyl or 3M IJ180C) for curves, corrugated side panels and full vehicle wraps
- ACP panels bolted on to corrugated side panels, when the design has a lot of fine text
Special finishes for particular jobs:
- Plotter-cut letters and logos, with the vehicle’s paint showing between the letters
- Night-reflective letters and logos that shine back in headlights
- One-way vision film for the windows
Let’s look at each of them in more detail.
Polymeric Vinyl For The Flat Surfaces Of A Vehicle
Polymeric vinyl is an outdoor-grade, weatherproof vinyl with a sticker back. We print your design on it in high resolution and protect it with a matching overlaminate, so the colours stand up to dust, scratches, rain and harsh sunlight. We use two films: Wyte Stretchcal 32 and 3M IJ40C.
Polymeric vinyl is ideal for the flat areas of a vehicle: the door panels below the windows, the flat part of the bonnet, the sides of a bus or the loading bed of a tempo. It is the simpler of our two options, and it is what most company cars and fleet vehicles need. Curious how vinyl is printed? Read what vinyl printing is.
There is one thing polymeric vinyl can’t do well: it is not very stretchable. On deep curves, such as a bumper, the pillars between the doors or a corrugated side panel, it would crease, wrinkle and lift at the edges. For those areas we use cast vinyl, explained below.
Choose polymeric vinyl when:
- the area to be branded is flat, for example the door panels just beneath the windows;
- you are branding a fleet of cars or vans with the same logo and colours;
- you want the simpler of our two options.
See the prices and work out your cost with the calculator in our pricing section below.
Cast Vinyl For Curves, Corrugated Panels And Full Wraps
For curves, we recommend cast vinyl. It is our top-grade vehicle film, and it costs more than polymeric vinyl of the same brand. We use two: Wyte cast vinyl and 3M IJ180C, each with its matching overlaminate.
Cast vinyl is thin, elastic and stretchable. It follows the curves and contours of a vehicle: the rounded bonnet, the sharp turn of a bumper, recesses and rivets. On a container truck whose corrugated side panels go up and down, cast vinyl moulds itself to the waves, so large text and big graphics look right. Any curve on a vehicle is better covered with cast vinyl.
Our vehicle films work from −20°C to +90°C, and 3M IJ180C is rated from −60°C to +107°C, so your graphics hold up in summer sun and monsoon rain alike.
Why 3M IJ180C is easier to fit: slide it, lift it, place it again
3M IJ180C carries 3M’s Controltac adhesive. Its glue side is covered with tiny raised dots that keep most of the glue away from the vehicle when the film is first laid on. So our fitter can slide the graphic around, lift it and place it again as many times as needed, until it lines up with every curve, door edge and handle.
Only when the fitter presses the film down firmly with a squeegee does the glue make full contact with the paint. From then on, it holds strongly.
The film also has 3M’s Comply air-release channels: fine grooves in the glue that let trapped air escape to the edge, so the finish is free of bubbles.
Source: 3M product bulletin for IJ180C (“pressure activated, repositionable adhesive”).
Bubble-Free Fitting With Air-Release Channels
While vinyl is pasted on any smooth surface, air can get trapped between the glue side of the print and the body of the vehicle, and these bubbles look untidy. Our fitters smooth the vinyl with a squeegee (a flat smoothing tool) to get an even finish.
Vehicle films with air-release channels make this much easier. Their glue side has a fine, nearly invisible pattern of channels that lets the air escape while the film is pasted. The result is a very even, paint-like finish. 3M IJ180C has these channels; ask us which film suits your vehicle.
When Would You Use Cast Vinyl Prints To Brand Your Vehicle?
Cast vinyl costs more than polymeric vinyl of the same brand, so use it where it makes a difference:
- your design flows over curved and contoured parts of the vehicle, such as bumpers, pillars and rounded bonnets;
- the side panels are corrugated, as on container trucks and many delivery vans, and your design has large text and big graphics;
- you want a full vehicle wrap;
- the branding has to stay on the vehicle for years.
For the flat door panels of a company car, polymeric vinyl does the job.
Plotter-cut Vinyl Decals and Shape-cut Logos For Making Car Stickers
All the varieties that are listed above are in the form of large-sized prints. These prints are then pasted on the surface of the vehicle as one continuous sticker.
But in some cases, a continuous sticker will not work for branding a vehicle. Here you need to cut out individual letters and paste them one by one with necessary gaps in between.
At Orchid Digitals, we use a machine known as a plotter to cut out individual letters and paste them in place, using masking tape. In such a vinyl car decal, you can see the paint of the surface beneath, between the gaps in the letters. This is the main difference between a regular sticker sheet and a decal.
Cutting plotters can also output your company logo in any shape you desire.
Vinyl-cut car decals look highly professional and give your vehicle that ‘factory-made’ look.
Plotter-cut letters use only the vinyl the letters need, with no wasted background. They are made to order, so the price is on request: send us your logo and the sizes you need.
Shown above is a job executed for the car and bike magazine, ‘Overdrive’. In this case, the print job was not a simple rectangle. We had to cut the vinyl in a particular star shape and then paste the same on the car’s sides.
Mercedes Benz runs an annual event called ‘Star Struck’ to showcase the capabilities of their luxurious SUVs. You might have noticed the play of words; wherein star-struck also refers to the Mercedes logo.
The event organisers at Overdrive tasked us with cutting the vinyl in the shape of a shooting star. We also overprinted the word ‘Star Struck’ on the same. A similar job was also done for the Horiba Company wherein we placed their company logo on the bonnet of the corporate executive’s car
Reflective Vinyl Prints for Night Visibility
Radium reflective stickers are another specialised media that are widely used for vehicle advertising. Reflective vinyl is especially visible in low light conditions where they throw back the light emitted from other vehicles.
Pay close attention to the next ambulance that you see in the evening or at night. You’ll find that the letters spelling out ‘AMBULANCE’ reflect light in the darkness. Emergency service vehicles like ambulances, fire trucks, and police jeeps are usually marked with radium reflective stickers.
But even private vehicles use reflective stickers to make their logos and taglines stand out. Logos of cab companies typically use reflective vinyl prints to brand their cars.
We make night-reflective letters and logos to order; the price is on request.
Glass Films for Vehicle Windows
Most of our customers do not cover the windows of their vehicles with prints or even dark, tinted films. Please check your local traffic rules before covering vehicle windows.
But for those of our customers who need to advertise on their side and rear windows, we have a ‘one-way vision’ glass film, ideally suited for this purpose.
One way vision allows the passengers sitting inside the vehicle to see what’s happening on the outside. On the other hand, people on the road (outside the car) can only view the branding/images pasted on the glass. They cannot see what’s happening inside the vehicle.
So one-way vision films fulfil two purposes:
- They act as a privacy panel for the occupants inside the vehicle.
- And they extend the scope of advertising on vehicles by including glass surfaces.
Here is a caveat that you should be aware of before you order these mesh film prints.
One-way vision films are not magic – they’re just an optical illusion. They trick the eyes into registering images in bright light conditions. As such, one-way vision films lose their efficacy at night time when the interiors are lit, and the exteriors are dark.
Here is a more detailed post about one-way vision prints.
See the prices for one-way vision film prints in our shop.
Rigid ACP – Aluminium Composite Panel Prints for Mobile Van Advertising
Shipping containers and delivery vans like Tata Ace (Chota Hathi) typically have corrugated sheets as their side panels. These corrugated metal panels are instrumental in increasing the strength and load-bearing capacity of the vehicle.
But when it comes to van branding or truck branding, the waves on their highly uneven side panels present a problem.
If your design has large text and big graphics, cast vinyl moulds itself to the waves of the panel, as explained above. But if it has a lot of fine text or detail, the waves would distort it and make it hard to read. In that case, an ACP (aluminium composite panel) bolted on to the corrugated side gives you a flat surface to print on.
ACP is a rigid 3 mm board: two thin aluminium skins bonded to a polymer core. For vehicles, we print your design on weatherproof polymeric vinyl and paste it on the ACP, exactly as on our ACP panel prints. The panel is then bolted on to the side of the vehicle.
Its tough metal face resists dents, and it doesn’t rust or degrade in harsh weather. That makes ACP prints a good choice for the corrugated sides of delivery vans like the Tata Ace, trucks and containers.
Can Vehicle Graphics Be Removed Later? Please Read This
Many clients ask whether our vehicle stickers can be removed later, and whether removing them will damage the paint. Here is the honest answer.
Our polymeric and cast vinyls are removable, but you can’t simply peel them off. The vinyl has to be heated with a heat gun to soften the glue underneath, and then peeled back slowly and carefully. Pulling vehicle vinyl off cold runs a big risk of damaging the paint beneath. Even after heating and careful peeling, some glue usually stays on the body, and it has to be cleaned off with a cleaner that is safe for vehicle paint. 3M’s own product bulletin says IJ180C can be removed “with the aid of heat and/or chemicals”.
How easily the vinyl comes off depends on two things:
- How long it has been on the vehicle. Vinyl pasted yesterday can be removed today. Vinyl pasted five years ago is much tougher to remove, and it may not come off at all without damaging the paint.
- How much heat it has been exposed to. Glue hardens over time, and the more heat it gets, the harder it sets. That makes removal even more difficult.
The quality of the paint matters too: repainted or touched-up areas are more at risk.
So while our vinyls are removable under the right conditions, we cannot take any liability for damage to the vehicle’s paint.
Printing Out A Vehicle Graphics Job – Production Process
At Orchid Digitals, our vehicle branding jobs are broken down into the following three stages:
- Error correction of the design / the computer file containing the car graphics
- Printing out the job and post-press finishing
- Pasting/installation of the print
Checking The Vehicle Graphics Design And Correcting For Errors
At Orchid Digitals, we print highly personalised car wraps. These custom designs contain your company logo, text and even product images. But many a time the artwork received from the design agency needs some error correction.
Conceptualisation and design are perhaps the most challenging part of printing on automobiles. While creating the design, the artist needs to measure the dimensions of the vehicle accurately. S/he needs to check that important design elements like logos, text, etc., do not get cropped by protrusions like door handles, fuel caps or mirrors.
The sides of vehicles especially have a lot of breaks like the edges of doors and windows. And the artist needs to create a design that flows as a cohesive whole across these breaks.
Sometimes we find that important content (like the logo or fine text) gets cut because the same is placed at the above-mentioned joints/breaks. Often the dimensions in the design are off by only a few inches. But even minor deviations can still spoil the entire vehicle branding job.
So, as part of our SOP, we request the client to bring his car or van to our premises here in Pune. We match the actual dimensions of the vehicle with the artwork. If needed, we even superimpose a draft print on the car to check if everything looks fine.
Finally, we make necessary alterations to the client’s layout and send the same across for approval.
Please Note: At Orchid, we do not provide conceptualising and design support. The same has to come in from your end. We only correct your artwork if necessary.

Printing Out the Job
At Orchid Digitals, we print out your vehicle advertising & branding job on our Roland eco-solvent or Mimaki UV, wide format printers.
- Eco-Solvent Printers are known for their extremely high resolutions and vibrant colour outputs. These printed images are further laminated for protection from rain, sunlight, dust and scratches.
- UV or Ultraviolet Ink Prints are also of a very high resolution. But in addition to this, UV inks are highly rugged. They are known for their extreme resistance to the elements. Water, sunlight, scratches seem to have hardly any effect on UV prints.
This makes ultraviolet ink prints ideal for outdoor applications. In our car branding use case, your advertising will not fade, blemish, or in turn, degrade the brand’s image in the eyes of your prospects.
Installing the Prints on Commercial Vehicles
Once the vinyl sticker prints are ready, the next step is for us to paste them on your vehicle. At Orchid Digitals, we have specialised teams of fitters and pasting guys to do this job. They first clean up your car and remove all the dust from its surface.
Air-release films such as 3M IJ180C are always applied dry, as 3M recommends: the fine air channels let our fitters get a bubble-free finish without water. Films without air-release channels can be applied wet, on a soapy-water solution that lets the fitter slide the film into place.
Sometimes vehicle stickers start peeling off from their edges. This problem is further exacerbated by water which can start seeping in from the sides. All of which can result in the print getting delaminated.
To prevent this complication, we use a high-grade edge-sealer from well-known brands like 3M. As the name suggests, this specialised glue seals up the print edges to prevent accidental peeling.
Edge-sealing is an extra step we take so your graphics stay in place for longer.
Why We Prefer To Install At Our Place In Shaniwar Peth
Installation is always charged extra and quoted case by case, because every job is different: the size of the vehicle, the area to cover and where the work happens. We can install at your place in Pune, but it is easier, and the result is better, when you bring the vehicle to us.
- Cars and small vans come inside our gate in Shaniwar Peth. There is plenty of space in front of our entrance, so the vehicle stays off the road while we work on it for a couple of days.
- Tempos and trucks are branded on the road along the nadi patra (the riverbed), just 50 m from our office, where there is ample room to park large vehicles.
Why it gives a better result: with the vehicle in front of us, we check your artwork against the real vehicle before we paste anything. If an important line of text or a photo would fall on the fuel-tank cover, a door handle or a door edge, we shift it in the artwork first. If we printed your file as it is and only saw the vehicle at your site, there would be nothing we could do about a misplaced element.
Please note: branding a vehicle takes time. When you send the vehicle to us, either your driver stays with it, or you hand the keys over to our team. The vehicle stays with us at your own risk; we can’t take liability for it while it is parked with us.
Outside Pune: for regular jobs, we ship the graphics contour-cut and ready to paste, and your local fitter installs them. Very large fleet or turnkey projects can be discussed with our team.
The Difference Between Vehicle Branding and Vehicle Wrapping
‘Vehicle branding’ and ‘vehicle wrapping’ are two terms that are used interchangeably.
Both refer to pasting aftermarket prints on vehicles to personalise them and display commercial messages. But, there is a connotational difference between these two terms, based on which areas of the vehicle, get covered by our prints –
Vehicle Wrapping
Vehicle wrapping is when every square inch of the vehicle gets covered by the print. Curved areas like the bumpers and rear-view mirrors, and slim areas like the window frames and pillars, are all covered with printed vehicle vinyl, so you can hardly tell the print from the original paint. Formula 1 race cars are good examples of vehicle wraps.
We do full vehicle wraps. Ambulances, SUVs and vans have all been wrapped at Orchid, with stretchable cast vinyl that follows every curve. Watch a few of them below.

Full wrap of a Jehangir Hospital ambulance

A company van branded in corporate colours
Vehicle Branding
Vehicle branding covers only part of the vehicle: usually the door panels under the windows and the bonnet, and on tempos and trucks, the sides of the loading bed. These are the most visible areas and give ample space for your logo, product images and offers. Polymeric vinyl works well on these flat areas; where the design runs over curves, we use cast vinyl.
White Ink Prints For Black And Dark Vehicles
Ordinary colour inks are slightly see-through. On a white car they look bright, but on black or dark paint the paint shows through and the logo almost disappears. The answer is white ink.
For Dar Al-Handasah, we branded a black company car with the company logo on its side. We printed the logo with white ink so that it stands out sharply against the black paint. The print uses UV inks, which are weatherproof and scratch resistant and don’t degrade in the heat, so they suit vehicles that spend all day outdoors. Our fitter then laid the film on a soapy-water solution, slid it into position on the door and smoothed it down. Watch the job below.

We keep it simple with three options:
- Polymeric vinyl (Wyte Stretchcal 32 or 3M IJ40C) for flat surfaces like door panels and the flat part of the bonnet.
- Cast vinyl (Wyte cast vinyl or 3M IJ180C) for curves, corrugated panels and full wraps.
- ACP panels for corrugated sides when the design has a lot of fine text.
Both come with a protective overlaminate. For particular jobs we also make plotter-cut letters, night-reflective letters and logos, and one-way vision film for the windows.
No. Unfortunately, we do not have an in-house designer to help you with the artwork. The artwork needs to come in from the client’s end as per the dimensions of the area that needs to be branded.
If you are simply looking to paste your logo or name on the vehicle, please share the same with us. And we will resize the art file to the required dimensions.
But if you are looking for a highly customised design, you will probably need to hire the services of a professional designer. Here are some designers in Pune we recommend.
To arrive at a meaningful costing we need to determine three things.
1. The number of vehicles that need to be branded.
2. The surface area that needs to be covered. For this, you need to share the design files set at the correct dimensions.
3. Finally, we also need to decide which media needs to be used.
Armed with the above information we then give you an estimate for your vehicle branding project.
Do mail us the requisite information and we’ll get back to you with the costs.
Our polymeric and cast vinyls are removable, but not by simply peeling them off: the vinyl is heated with a heat gun to soften the glue and then peeled back carefully, and any leftover glue is cleaned with a paint-safe cleaner. The longer the vinyl stays on the vehicle and the more heat it sees, the harder the glue sets and the more difficult removal becomes; after several years it may not come off without damaging the paint. So we cannot take any liability for damage to the vehicle’s paint. Read more about removal.
Share your designs in an open format. We prefer to use CorelDRAW at our end.
An open file will allow us to make minor alterations and size corrections to deliver a perfectly finished vehicle.
Just make sure that the design/art files are adapted to the dimensions of your particular vehicle.
Please also ensure that no important elements of your communication like the name of your company, logo, and contact numbers are placed over uneven surfaces like door handles, fuel tank cover, wheel wells, etc.
Our minimum order is ₹3,000 + GST. Installation in Pune is quoted separately, on orders of ₹10,000 + GST and above; smaller jobs can be installed at a slightly higher charge.
Yes, in Pune. Installation is always charged extra and quoted case by case. It is easiest when you bring the vehicle to our place in Shaniwar Peth: cars come inside our gate, and tempos and trucks are branded on the road along the nadi patra (the riverbed), 50 m from our office. Your driver stays with the vehicle, or you hand the keys over to our team. Read why we prefer to install at our place.
Outside Pune, we ship the graphics contour-cut and ready to paste, and your local fitter installs them.
Yes. Online payments are accepted at Orchid Digitals. In fact we try to finish the entire job online. All you need to do is mail us your artwork/design file along with the requisite dimensions, material specifications, copies needed, etc.
After evaluating/understanding your project requirement we send across an estimate for the same. This estimate (in the form of a Proforma Invoice) will also contain an online paylink encoded in a QR code.
Scan the QR code to make the payments.
Once the funds are transferred, we process the job and then ship the same across to you.
Yes. We deliver vehicle graphics anywhere in India in roll form, free on orders of ₹3,000 + GST and above.
How Much Does a Vehicle Branding Job Cost?
Some of our clients, such as auto accessories stores and garages, order only the printed graphics and paste them themselves. Others want us to print and install. The prices below are for printing; installation is quoted separately. We offer three options: two vehicle films, each with a choice of brand, and ACP panels.
Pick the option that suits your vehicle. Prices are per square foot of printed graphics, + 18% GST. Enter your size in the calculator to work out your cost.
Option 1: Polymeric vinyl, for flat surfaces
Wyte Stretchcal 32 or 3M IJ40C, each with its matching overlaminate. For door panels, the flat part of the bonnet and other flat areas. Not very stretchable, so not for deep curves.
Weather-proof Polymeric Vinyl Prints
Outdoor-grade polymeric vinyl with a protective overlaminate: your signs, decals and machinery graphics stay flat, bright and bonded through Indian summers and monsoons.
- 3M™ IJ40C or Wyte™ Stretchcal 32 polymeric vinyl
- Matching polymeric overlaminate against rain, dust and scratches
- Service temperature -20°C to +90°C; typically lasts 3-5 years outdoors
- Strong acrylate adhesive with air-release channels
- For flat and gently curved surfaces; ₹150 / ₹240 per sq ft
Minimum order ₹3,000 + GST · minimum print 4 x 3 ft
Weatherproof vinyl prints are specifically rated for outdoor use. And these prints are ideal for branding products or machinery exposed to sun and rain, as well as equipment that typically sees heavy dust and heat. For example, road direction signs, ACP prints to be installed outdoors, construction equipment, oil pipelines, etc.
Option 2: Cast vinyl, for curves and full wraps
Wyte cast vinyl or 3M IJ180C, each with its matching overlaminate. Our top-grade film: thin, elastic and stretchable, for curves, corrugated panels and full wraps. 3M IJ180C can be slid and repositioned while it is fitted.
Extreme Weather Resistant Cast Vinyl Prints

- Rolls 4.5 ft wide; larger graphics made in panels
Minimum order ₹3,000 + GST · Free delivery across India
Cast vinyl prints are specifically rated for outdoor use and can withstand extreme weather conditions without deteriorating. Moreover, because they are stretchable, they can be pasted onto curved objects and complex surfaces. These prints are ideal for branding vehicles and automobiles. Printed cast vinyl is also applied to products or machinery exposed to sun, rain, and snow, as well as to equipment that typically experiences heavy dust and heat.
Option 3: ACP panel, for corrugated sides with fine text
Weatherproof polymeric vinyl printed and pasted on a rigid 3 mm ACP (aluminium composite panel), bolted on to the corrugated side of a van, truck or container. Best when your design has a lot of fine text that the waves of the panel would distort.
Weather Proof ACP | Aluminium Composite Panel Prints | 3 mm Thick
Rigid, weather-proof signs and poster panels: your artwork printed on outdoor-grade polymeric vinyl, laminated and mounted on 3 mm aluminium composite panel.
- 3 mm ACP: aluminium skins on a rigid core, rust-free
- Weatherproof polymeric vinyl and lamination included
- Road signs, safety signs, factory and vehicle panels
- Any size; one panel up to 8 x 4 ft
- ₹240 per sq ft + GST, screw-fixed to walls or frames
Minimum order ₹3,000 + GST · Free delivery in Pune; shipped across India on larger orders
Jump to:SpecificationsPricingApplicationsFAQsOrdering & delivery
For outdoor installations or prints facing extreme weather, we offer a superior alternative to standard sunboard: Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) prints. Standard sunboard prints are great for most use cases. But they are ultimately made of plastic. Alternatively, our metallic ACP panel prints offer significantly greater strength and a much longer life.
ACP sheets are a highly durable material widely used in construction and furniture. When this metallic sheet is repurposed for custom-printed poster panels, the result is a print that is virtually bulletproof.
Please note:
- All prices are per square foot of printed graphics and attract 18% GST.
- Prices are for printing only. Installation is charged extra and quoted case by case (see installation).
- Minimum order: ₹3,000 + GST.
Example: branding both sides of a car with 3M IJ40C polymeric vinyl, 6 ft wide x 2 ft high on each side (front and rear doors): 2 x 6 ft x 2 ft = 24 sq ft. 24 sq ft x ₹240 = ₹5,760 + 18% GST, plus installation if you need it.
Special finishes: plotter-cut letters and logos, and night-reflective letters and logos: price on request. One-way vision film for windows: see its prices in our shop.
Shipping and delivery: we deliver vehicle graphics anywhere in India in roll form, free on orders of ₹3,000 + GST and above. ACP panels are bulky: delivery is free in Pune on orders of ₹3,000 + GST and above, and shipping outside Pune is charged extra.
Installation outside Pune: for regular jobs, we ship the graphics contour-cut and ready to paste, and your local fitter installs them. Very large fleet or turnkey projects can be discussed with our team.
