A stroll around destination Mumbai

The city of Mumbai holds a unique charm lurching around its vicinity besides being a star-studded home to Bollywood film industry. Sure, this far-flung western India’s flamboyant metropolis is considered to be one of the star attractions when it comes to hanging out an unforgettable cinematic evening, witnessing the way the sea appears at different locations. Swooping down on the elegance, SIGN & GRAPHICS team recently spent a week travelling around the city to meet a bunch of signage players who vitally contribute to make the cityscape look lustrous. With nothing remotely ordinary about their origins, most of the signage majors in Mumbai have generation-old backgrounds in either offset printing or others of a different kind.




3M ‘voyages’ across India to unveil new products

Heralding bon voyage to its customers for a quest of new fortune, 3M India Limited recently unpacked a new set of comprehensive products introduced through a chain of launch sessions organised in six major cities of Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata and New Delhi from June 29-July 23, 2010. The newly unfurled 3M Panalite flex banners and IJ series vinyl films are designed to deliver a new quality to the Indian graphic industry. Involved as a media partner, SIGN & GRAPHICS undertook an exclusive coverage of the whole episodes of the fun-filled launch programmes attended by huge crowds of 3M authorised converters, print service providers, machine manufacturers and others.
