"Aakar" means shape in Sanskrit. For thirty-six years, we've been the small studio in Unjha that takes a half-formed thought — a wedding date, a new product, the name of a son's company — and gives it a shape on paper. Big enough to print a hoarding. Small enough to fit a visiting card.
We work the way a tailor works. We measure. We cut. We sew. Then we hand it back to you, finished. There is no agency layer between you and the designer. You speak with the person whose hand will draw the curve.
We don't chase trends. We chase the moment a client opens the box, lifts the kankotri, and goes "haa, aa j joiye chhe" — yes, this is the one.
Every job moves through four hands and one machine. No outsourcing.
One studio, every surface. From the first sketch on a napkin to the final flex banner standing twenty feet tall on a Mehsana highway.
A logo isn't a picture — it's a promise compressed into ink. We build identity systems around a single, defensible mark.
Pouches, boxes, labels, dielines. Made to print, made to sell.
Scroll, laser-cut, box, invitation, reception, chala cover. UV emboss in-house.
Business cards, letterheads, envelopes, leaflets, brochures, bill books, stickers, menus. Quick turn, sharp registration, real ink on real paper.
We also do photo retouching, social campaigns, light UI work, and brand strategy for D2C founders.
The Aakar promise: in-house design, in-house print, on-time delivery — every single job, every single client.
A wedding is two families pretending to remember a thousand small things at once. A good kankotri remembers them all.

A WhatsApp message, a phone call, a walk-in. Tell us the date, the function, the brand, the feeling. We listen first, sketch second.
First on paper, then in Illustrator. Two or three directions, never twenty. We share what we believe in, not what we want approved.
You pick a direction. We refine to print-ready. Bleed, trim, registration — quietly handled in the background.
In-house. Digital, solvent, eco-solvent, UV emboss. The same hand that designed it, watches it print. No lost-in-translation.
Pickup at Aakar House, courier across India, or installation on-site for hoardings and signage. Done.
1965—2020
He was a printer first, a designer always, and a teacher to anyone who walked into the shop with a question.
In 1989, in a small room in Unjha, Anilbhai started Aakar Graphics with a single idea — that good design should be available to the local shopkeeper, the small spice trader, the family planning a wedding. Not just to the big city brands.
Thirty-six years later, that idea is still the studio's only rule.
In living memory, as a visionary & mentor.
I grew up watching my father lay out kankotri pages by hand, choosing typefaces from a Letraset book. Today I do it in Illustrator and Figma — but the rule he gave me hasn't changed: "design like the client is your neighbour, because in Unjha, they are."
I run the studio with the same in-house team, the same printers, and a quietly growing list of D2C brands across India who want their packaging and identity made by someone who has actually held a press in their hand.
