Kannada boards for clinics, pharmacies and opticians

Patients look for a clinic, chemist or optician in a hurry, often from a moving auto. The board has to say what you are in one glance, in Kannada first and English below, without losing the details people check.

What these boards need

The 60% guideline

Karnataka's rule for business name boards is 60% Kannada in the upper part of the board. We lay it out so the Kannada band takes about 60% of the area. How to measure it.

Sizes that fit

Small clinics and chemists often need just a door plaque (acrylic, up to 12 x 6 in, Rs 1,499) plus the main shop board (vinyl on sunboard, up to 4 x 2 ft, Rs 2,999). Bigger fascia or glow signs get a fixed quote from a photo.

Not legal advice. We design to the 60% Kannada guideline in Section 17(6) of the Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Act, 2022 (amended 2024). For anything specific to your premises, ask your local authority.

Questions

Can you keep the doctor's name and timings?

Yes. They go in the English band or on a separate plaque, and the Kannada name stays on top.

Is this legal advice for medical boards?

No. We design to the 60% Kannada guideline; check any professional-council rules on what a clinic board may show.
