Banner & Flex Printing in Surat
Flex banners are the workhorse of local advertising in Surat — shop openings, exhibitions, weddings, election material, factory signage. Because they are cheap and fast, quality varies enormously between suppliers.
The two things that separate a good banner from a poor one are material weight and ink. Thin flex sags, creases and tears at the eyelets. Cheap inks fade to pastel within a monsoon season.
We print on proper weight star flex as standard and specify backlit material where a board is internally lit, since ordinary flex looks patchy and dull when light passes through it.
What banner printing includes
Star flex
Standard opaque flex for general outdoor banners and hoardings.
Backlit flex
Translucent material for internally lit boards — even, bright illumination.
Vinyl and stickers
Self-adhesive vinyl for glass, walls, shutters and vehicle graphics.
One-way vision
Perforated film for shop windows — visible outside, see-through from inside.
Finishing
Eyelets, stitched hems, rod pockets and rope as required for fixing.
Any size
Cut to your exact dimensions; large banners joined by welded seams.

Banner Printing — frequently asked questions
What is the difference between star flex and backlit flex?
Star flex is opaque and suits banners lit from the front or not at all. Backlit flex is translucent and designed for boards with lights inside — using ordinary flex on a lit board produces a dull, patchy result because light cannot pass through evenly.
What resolution does a banner file need?
Much less than people assume. Banners are viewed from a distance, so roughly 30 DPI at full size is standard — which is the same as 300 DPI at one-tenth scale. Supplying full-size 300 DPI files creates unmanageable file sizes with no visible improvement.
How fast can you print a banner?
Standard sizes are often same day or next day if artwork is ready. Flex has no plate setup, so the constraint is press availability rather than preparation. Call +91 74055 25038 and we will tell you honestly what is achievable today.
Will the banner fade outdoors?
All outdoor print fades eventually, but UV-stable solvent inks on proper weight flex hold colour well through a Surat summer and monsoon. Very cheap banners fade quickly because of thin material and low-grade ink — the saving disappears when you reprint.
Can you do vehicle and shutter graphics?
Yes. Self-adhesive vinyl for vehicles, shop shutters and glass, and perforated one-way vision film for windows where you want visibility from inside. Tell us the surface and we will specify the right film.
