Origin Ad & Print

Our place is Origin Ad & Print, located at Plot No-RZ-170/A/1 on Madhya Marg in Tuglakabad Extension. It’s a busy spot with lots of traffic moving through the extension at all hours. We do a lot of printing and advertising work, which usually means the shop is full of the smell of vinyl and solvent ink. There are big rolls of material leaning against the walls and scraps of stickers on the floor. We have a large cutting table that takes up most of the center of the room. Most days we are busy trying to finish signs or banners for local shops. It gets quite loud when the big printers are running, so we sometimes have to shout to hear each other. We’ve had this spot on Madhya Marg for some time now, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change quite a bit. The floor is usually covered in bits of tape and plastic shavings by the time we close up. We don't have a receptionist or anything; you just walk in and talk to whoever isn't currently holding a squeegee or staring at a monitor. Sometimes we stay late when a big order comes in, eating dinner out of paper boxes while the machines keep humming. It’s honest work and we like being part of the local bustle here. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, but we get the job done.
