Pricing: Self-Adhesive Vinyl Prints starting from ₹40 per square foot
The commercial spaces of this world offer unlimited scope for branding.
Walk into any mall, and you will see endless advertising collaterals bombarding you from all sides. Every available surface will feature posters showcasing product images or companies highlighting their services.
The glass frontages of stores, the walls inside a retail outlet, and even the very floor that you walk on allow scope for branding and advertisement. Heck! Some overzealous marketing guys even print on the very ceiling above your head.
Now, a layman would term all that I described above as simple ‘stickering’.

Self-adhesive vinyl prints are a highly versatile medium suitable for various applications across multiple industries. For instance, self-adhesive vinyl (SAV) can be utilised for branding and product promotion in department stores or as wall prints to enhance home decor.
A vinyl print can be used to create anything from small stickers to large banners or even a print that wraps an entire building!
Vinyl is a material that can be used to create thumbnail-sized stickers or building-sized banners.
Vinyl can be used to brand the humble auto rickshaw, a supercar like a Mercedes, and everything in between!
This material is also available in various qualities and at multiple price points.
At Orchid Digitals, we sell low-cost prints at rupees 40 per square foot for short-term ad campaigns. At the other end of the spectrum, we also deliver high-grade vinyl for use in extreme weather conditions.
These outdoor-grade prints have a temperature tolerance ranging from -60 degrees centigrade to +107 degrees centigrade. The prints last for a lifetime and cost over rupees 200 per square foot.
So reach out to us if you need to brand a vinyl logo on your aircraft 🙂
Signboards in factories, shop floors, office complexes and even housing societies are all made from vinyl posters. These signs are pretty durable. They are waterproof and do not fade in the sunlight.
For example, a safety sign displaying ‘Rules and Regulations’ at an outdoor location, such as a public pool, must be weather-resistant. A UV laminated vinyl print is weather-resistant and will not crack or peel in harsh sunlight.
High-grade vinyl stickers are ideal for product branding, merchandise, and reproducing logos. At Orchid Digitals, we supply kiss-cut and embossed stickers made from vinyl prints.
These premium-quality stickers are used for product labels, machine information panels, decals for laptops and mobile devices, and more.
These vinyl stickers are also waterproof and scratch-resistant.
Every advertisement poster that you see in malls and supermarkets is made from vinyl. Product images look fabulous when printed at high resolutions on this media.
Further, advertisers need to deploy large-scale communications in such environments to attract prospective customers. And when you work with large rolls of vinyl, there is no bar on the size of your prints.
Finally, a vinyl poster is a very economical option and helps keep your marketing budget under control. This low cost also enables you to change or update your posters on a regular basis without impacting your bottom line.
One can recreate photographs at an extremely high resolution on vinyl media. So, if you need a large-sized reproduction of your family portraits or nature photography, this product would be a perfect choice.
Interior decorators and architects use custom-printed wallpapers to enhance the interiors of office spaces and homes. And they use wall stickers made of vinyl to achieve this.
These prints are so large that they cover walls from the ceiling to the floor. Moreover, you can display personalised designs, corporate colours, logos, and product images on your walls via this medium.
Advertising banners and hoardings have two properties. They are humongous, and they have a low per-square-foot cost. These two properties enable marketing professionals to effectively communicate their messages to the largest audience at the lowest possible cost.
And vinyl banners fulfil these two conditions perfectly. The large hoardings one sees on roads and inside supermarkets are all printed on vinyl, as this is an optimal medium for advertising.
Commercial vehicles provide a wonderful opportunity for advertising and product promotion. Publicly owned vehicles like busses, cabs, trains, and rickshaws routinely lease out space to ad companies who in turn paste vinyl posters on the same.
Privately owned company vehicles also carry their corporate colours and logos cut from printable vinyl.
The ad campaign on the former is generally short-lived. So the media used for branding bus and rickshaw hoods is of low quality but highly economical, Corporate logos pasted on private fleets, on the other hand, have to last a lifetime. Here we use high-grade and long-lasting vinyl prints.
Here are some compelling reasons to consider this product.
Vinyl posters offer fantastic value for money. And who would say no to anything that is pleasing to the eyes and light to your wallet?
Marketing your product is extremely important. And if that marketing activity is completed at a highly economical price point, it is like the cherry on the cake.
Vinyl is primarily made of plastic. This means that it is non-tearable, waterproof and scratch-resistant.
And our all-weather vinyl variant breaks all barriers of durability. Just like the value of Pi (ℼ), their life does not end.
Until a couple of decades ago, the maximum size of a photograph you could order at a photo outlet was A3 (a foot and a half-sized picture). However, the technology has advanced to the point where images tens of feet (and larger) are now par for the course.
The turnaround time at Orchid Digitals is faster than the speed of light 😊. Throw a 5000 square foot job at us and you will probably find yourself carrying it home by nightfall.
Many of our clients have walked in, placed an order, stepped out for a cup of coffee, and returned to pick up the finished product.
And there is a reason for this. I state with all humility that…
We carry the widest variety of stocks here in Pune, and we have a substantial machinery setup with a significant production capability.
Our clients often inquire about the size limitations of a vinyl banner. And we assure them that we can produce prints of any size required.
Print shops print out vinyl posters on wide-format inkjet printers. Wide-format printers use liquid inks to reproduce high-resolution images and photos on the above rolls of vinyl.
Here is how they use the same machines to create prints hundreds of feet in size.
Vinyl media is supplied in huge rolls, very much like the rolls of cloth, you see in a tailor’s shop. These media rolls are hundreds of feet long. And they are generally 3, 4 or 5 feet wide.
This means that you can opt for a single, seamless print having a width of 5 feet and a length of 100 feet (and even more). This large-sized printing ability can help us meet the requirements of most customers.
But if we need to go even larger, we use a ‘tile printing’ technique to generate print jobs in any size you want.
Let us consider an application like custom wallpaper prints where large-sized prints are the norm. These huge prints are never printed in one piece but rather in smaller, manageable tiles of 3, 4 or 5 feet in width.
To cover a large area like a wall, we first break the artwork into smaller sections or tiles. These sections are printed individually on the inkjet printer. At the time of installation, these discrete sections are then combined to form one continuous image.
If the wall is twelve feet wide and ten feet in height, the print is broken into three vertical sections of 4 X 10 feet. These are later strategically pasted side by side to give you the look of a continuous, one-piece image.
Tiling is typically done in design software like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator.
Hard solvent prints are an entry-level solution. These prints are used for low-cost, mass advertising campaigns. For example, posters on rickshaw hoods are changed every fortnight. Similarly, ads on the sides of municipal buses are also short-lived.
Solvent prints have a low price point and can only manage to deliver low-resolution prints. But this lower quality does not really matter. Their lower cost makes solvent prints ideal for large but short-lived advertising campaigns that have to be conducted on a tight budget.
Eco-solvent prints currently account for most of the commercial printing that takes place in the industry. Eco-solvent prints are a very high-quality product with an extremely affordable price point.
You need high-quality prints in malls, restaurants, corporate offices, retail stores, exhibitions, trade shows, etc. All these locations have high-end clientele evaluating the content on these posters.
So a high-quality print is an absolute must for communication that will influence the purchase decision of high-value products. Finally, the images at these locations also need to remain in pristine condition for longer durations.
Eco-solvent vinyl printing easily meets all the above requirements.
At Orchid Digitals, we have multiple eco-solvent printers churning out photo-quality prints at 600 DPI and higher.
Ultraviolet vinyl printing is the latest technology in the printing industry. The main USP of UV ink prints is that they are extremely high resolution and very, very rugged.
Ultraviolet prints are ideal for high-stress environments like vehicle branding, vinyl stickers for outdoor machinery like generators, solar tanks, cranes, construction equipment, etc.
UV inks do not fade in the sun. These inks are also waterproof and have a high degree of resistance to scratches and abrasions. Road and direction signs are almost universally printed on UV machines these days.
UV printers are also used for speciality applications, like raised effect prints, white ink prints, shape cut decals, etc.
Pro Tip: In the above paragraphs, we have used phrases like ‘different printing inks,’ ‘wide format printing machines’, ‘solvent’, ‘eco-solvent printers’,
These are the technologies and equipment used in print houses to produce the right kind of prints for various applications and at different price points. If you are not familiar with these terms, here are some comprehensive blog posts that will provide a better understanding of the printing machines and inks used in the print industry.
We just saw that various inks and printing machine options are available to produce vinyl banners. Similarly, print shops also stock different types of vinyl rolls to cater to different applications.
For example, we have matt and gloss finish vinyl sheets, transparent vinyl prints, and even rolls of textured vinyl. Do jump to this very detailed post covering these different types of media.
However, vinyl rolls are also classified into various categories based on their quality, which plays a crucial role in determining the final print’s appearance and longevity as well as the cost involved.
When you visit a print shop, you may hear your vendor casually mention terms like calendared vinyl, monomeric vinyl, and cast vinyl, each representing a distinct type of vinyl with unique characteristics. Moreover, there is a significant price difference between each of these categories as well.
Calendared vinyl is produced by passing raw vinyl through a series of heated rollers, resulting in a thicker, stiffer material. This type is generally more cost-effective, making it a suitable choice for short-term projects such as promotional graphics, banners, and temporary signs.
It’s essential to understand that while it offers affordability, calendared vinyl may not hold up well in harsh outdoor conditions for extended periods.
All our standard prints meant for advertising and marketing purposes are made from calendared vinyl.
Calendared vinyl is manufactured from a less pliable material than cast vinyl. While this material works beautifully for flat surfaces, it cannot really be adapted for uneven surface applications. Also, calendared vinyl has significantly less environmental tolerance. They are unsuited for use in harsh weather conditions.
But the one point in favour of calendared vinyl is its low price point.
This makes them ideal for flat posters and advertising communications because these prints are generally placed indoors and do not have a very long-term utility.
Most of the vinyl variants listed above (except the outdoor weather vinyl media) are either calendered or monomeric. Our outdoor grade, extreme weather vinyl falls in the cast vinyl category.
Cast vinyl represents the pinnacle of vinyl quality. It is made by pouring liquid vinyl into a mold, which allows for a thinner and more conformable product. This type excels in high-performance applications, such as intricate vehicle wraps and long-lasting signage.
Cast vinyl is known for its superior durability and resistance to environmental factors, providing vibrant colours and exceptional detail that can withstand the test of time.
Cast vinyl media is of high quality and essential for premium printing applications, ensuring the printed image remains pristine and vibrant even after being installed in outdoor locations for many years. This vinyl variant can withstand temperature extremes such as heat and cold, as well as rain and snow. And listed below are the primary features of a cast vinyl print.
Most vinyl prints are primarily used for marketing and advertisement applications like creating posters that are applied to smooth surfaces like walls or flat sunboard sheets. But standard vinyl prints are very stiff and cannot be stretched to cover curved surfaces (for example, the bonnet of a car)
Cast vinyl prints, on the other hand, conform to the shape and surface on which they are pasted. They can be stretched very much like a chewing gum to cover the contours of curved objects like a cylinder or a vehicle.
While sunboard prints are rigid—which can make transporting them over long distances challenging—we offer an alternative for clients holding outdoor exhibitions outside Pune.
This alternative print can be rolled up and carried in a compact plastic container. To learn more about this solution, visit the product page for exhibition posters here.
At Orchid Digitals, we also use heat guns to stretch this media and work it into deep recesses or grooves and stretch it around curves.
Moreover, after being pasted on such a challenging surface, the print does not develop ugly creases. You get a very smooth, wrinkle-free finish.
Do take a look at these two videos, where you will see how a printed vinyl sticker can be stretched without cracking or tearing. And how this stretchable property can be used to brand the uneven corrugated surface of a container truck!
Cast vinyl is known for its dimensional stability, especially in outdoor environments when exposed to heat and rain. This means it does not shrink or peel easily from the edges.
Here’s what happens: when you apply any print on a metallic surface (like a vehicle), it undergoes continuous stress. The metallic surface of the vehicle expands slightly during the day when exposed to heat and contracts at night as it cools. The vinyl print pasted on top of this surface also expands and contracts along with it.
Over time, under these constant stresses, an ordinary vinyl print (which is very non-pliable and stiff) will start losing adhesion and shrink back from the edges.
The glue or adhesion of the print weakens and begins to give way. The print can also develop unsightly wrinkles and creases, causing the image to look shabby and unattractive.
A cast vinyl print is flexible and stretchable, offering some give. This premium material also features extremely strong adhesion. As a result, the printed image on top of a metallic surface can stretch and contract with the surface beneath it.
It moulds perfectly to the shape and dimensions of the underlying substrate, clinging tightly like a stretchable Lycra T-shirt on a bodybuilder, expanding and contracting with each breath.
Cast vinyl prints can withstand the unpredictable elements of the weather. Most images printed on regular vinyl media begin fading when exposed to sunlight. We have all seen faded signages on motorways that look quite shabby.
Regular vinyl prints also harden and become brittle when exposed to heat. The image then starts to develop unsightly cracks.
However, cast vinyl media is specially manufactured to endure extreme temperatures without degrading. This material offers a very long outdoor lifespan and is generally resistant to rain and sunlight. It does not peel or crack even in the harshest weather conditions.
One such example is the 3M IJ 180C brand of vinyl media that we stock here at Orchid Digitals, Pune. According to the spec sheet on the 3M™ website, this cast vinyl media has a temperature tolerance of -60°C to +107 °C.
It also has a maximum durability of up to 7 years, and in my experience, it lasts even longer- a decade or more!
Finally, all our outdoor prints at Orchid Digitals also have an additional top coat of lamination film. So, in addition to heat and water damage, our printed image is also protected from dust and scratches.
The type of adhesive used in the vinyl media also plays a significant role in determining the final finish you can expect after applying the print to any surface.
Most premium rolls of vinyl use acrylic-based adhesive.
Acrylic adhesives are also known as structural adhesives because they form a permanent bond with the structure they are joining.
This adhesive typically provides better bonding strength than other types of glues used on standard rolls of vinyl. And this ensures that our prints remain firmly in place for many years.
3M™ also provides print media with respositionable capabilities. This means you can position the sticker, remove it, and adjust it until it’s perfectly aligned. After applying slight pressure and holding it steady, the adhesive activates to create a strong bond with the surface below.
This special glue lets you peel off and reposition the print multiple times until the image alignment is just right. Only then does the glue fully activate to secure the print firmly to the surface.
In contrast, monomeric vinyl is designed with a slightly more flexible composition, making it ideal for medium-term applications. This type is well-suited for items like vehicle graphics and wall decals, where durability and aesthetic appeal are important.
Monomeric vinyl typically offers a better range of colours and finishes compared to calendared vinyl, enhancing the visual quality of your prints.
We have a range of uncoated, coated, grey-back, bubble-free, and extreme weather vinyls at our end. We can even mount the same on the Sunboard. Do take a look at the variants section, on this page for more details on the same.
Extreme weather vinyl prints can withstand the vagaries of the weather and will not deteriorate when installed in outdoor locations. We have specialised rolls of vinyl that have a service temperature of as low as -45° C and as high as + 118° C.
These prints as installed on aircraft, ships, construction equipment, oil-pipelines, water tankers, solar heaters, vehicles, etc.
The prints we supply are great to look at. And your images will be reproduced at stunning resolutions. Hence this product is also referred to as ‘photo vinyl prints’ meant for presentation purposes.
People install these prints both indoors, and outdoors. But they will deteriorate after some time, if placed in exterior locations. For our door solutions you need to opt for extreme weather prints as explained in the point above.
You can also order glossy, matt, textured, metallic foil, transparent, frosted, tamper evident, wall vinyl, vehicle graphics, glow-in-the-dark, and night reflective vinyls from us.
Low quality inks start fading in the short duration. At Orchid Digitals, we use original OEM inks only. This ensures a very high print quality and inks that last for longer durations.
Ink fading is a function of a variety of factors like sunlight, frequent washing, exposure to heat, etc. And for longevity we always recommending a top coat of lamination.
Lamination on a vinyl print significantly enhances the life of the same. It will protect the film from dust, scratches, and everyday wear and tear.
An additional coat of lamination will marginally add to the cost of the job. But the same will prove to be a wise investment in the longer run.
You need a smooth surfaced wall. The paint on top has to be water insoluble. Eg. Oil paints work best.
There is a very strong glue on the backs of our wall vinyls. This is especially true of branded media like Avery™ and 3M™.
But if the paint is ‘kaccha’ or flaking, or if the wall has a rough surface, the end result will be uneven.
For best results, please ensure that your wall has a smooth finish and a top coat of luster paint or oil-paint. Water-based paints will NOT work.
Our prints can be pasted on smooth surfaces like glass panels and painted walls. For placing posters on rougher surfaces do opt for a sunboard print.
We print on rolls that have 3, 4, or 5 feet width. This means that you order a job having a maximum width of 5 feet. The length of the print can be as much, as you want it to.
For creating images larger than 5 feet in width, the job can be printed across several tiles or sections. These multiple tiles can later on be seamed/joined together to make one large banner.
Yes, you can install vinyl posters on your own. However, there are two things that you must be aware of:
1. Make sure that the base surface is clean and smooth
2. Spray a film of water on the surface where the job has to be pasted, and also on the adhesive back of the vinyl. This helps to reduce the initial strength of the glue and makes repositioning of the print easy.
After this initial prep, you can start pasting the print as follows:
1. Gently peel and start pasting vinyl starting from one corner.
2. Use a squeegee or handkerchief to smoothen the print on the surface.
3. Workout all the air bubbles and also the water to create a form bond between the adhesive and the surface beneath.
4. Use a pin to puncture any bubble that may have remained.
5. Leave the print to dry out for a few hours. The glue will now form a strong bond with the substrate beneath.
If the vinyl posters are small then installing them is pretty easy. But pasting a huge vinyl print is slightly more difficult. But follow the above steps and you should be fine.
