Signs & Large Format Print
Illustrative visualisationA campaign has one feature no other job has: a hard deadline. Once polling day arrives, a banner printed a day late is worthless. So in a campaign, dates matter most (files, printing, installation), with slack for corrections, because candidate lists, ballot positions and photos change until the last minute. We print in 24 hours, but in the final two weeks before an election everyone’s queue grows, so larger orders are best placed early.
Campaign material is regulated by election law, and the rules differ from country to country. Typically every item must clearly state who published it, the campaign has a defined start and end (in some countries with a silence period before the vote), and after the election posters and banners must be removed within a set time. Spending is usually accounted for by the committee’s agent or treasurer. This is not legal advice: check the exact wording of imprints, deadlines and funding rules with your election or finance agent and your electoral commission. We make sure the required imprint appears on every design and is legible.
1. Banners and posters in public space
Banners and posters usually take the largest share of the budget. Hanging them on someone else’s fence, building or post requires the owner’s or manager’s consent, so collect those consents before ordering 50 banners. How to hang a banner so it lasts the whole campaign is covered in our guide [banner on a fence](/poradnik/jak-powiesic-baner-na-ogrodzeniu).
- Election banners for fences→Economy 510 g banner, welded and eyeleted every 50 cm. A single 3 × 1 m banner approx. €35 net; 20 of them make 60 m² at approx. €6, approx. €360 net in total.
- Large banners for buildings and scaffolding→A 6 × 3 m banner is 18 m² at approx. €7 net per m², approx. €130 net. On large formats leave free space for eyelets and ropes.
- Election posters→A2 posters on gloss paper: 100 pcs approx. €85 net. For noticeboards, display cases and the windows of friendly shops.
- Billboard poster→Blueback paper for pasting on a 504 × 238 cm board: about 12 m² at approx. €5 net per m², so approx. €60 net per poster. The committee rents the space from the billboard owner.
2. Handouts
Leaflets and newsletters go where a banner can’t: into letterboxes, to the market, outside church, to meetings in village halls. Design them for a specific distribution: one leaflet for letterboxes, another for handing out in person.
- Leaflets and folded leaflets→DL leaflet, 6 panels, 1,000 pcs approx. €90 net; A5, 4 pages, approx. €90 net. Larger runs are noticeably cheaper per copy.
- Campaign newsletter→A4 newsletter, 8 pages, 1,000 copies approx. €280 net. Room for the programme, candidate photos and a map of the constituency.
- Candidate business cards→500 cards approx. €15 net. Prices of small print change regularly, so ask for a current quote.
3. Meeting voters
A meeting in a village hall, a stall in the market square, a picnic: here the candidate needs a backdrop for photos and a stand that can be seen from afar. Kit bought once will serve future campaigns if the graphics don’t carry the election date.
- Candidate roll-up banner→An 85 × 200 cm roll-up banner from approx. €55 net. The premium version with a replaceable cassette lets you change the graphic for the next election.
- Stall gazebo→3 × 3 m with full print from approx. €750 net. For the market square, fairs and fêtes; keeps rain off leaflets and people.
- Beach flags by the stall→Winder Midi 70 × 340 cm with pole from approx. €75 net. Visible from the far end of the square, folds into a bag.
4. Car, volunteers, giveaways
The candidate drives round the constituency every day. A magnetic sign on the car door works like a moving banner, and after the election it comes off without a trace. With giveaways, check the local rules on handing out items to voters; usually small, low-value promotional items are acceptable, but confirm the details with your agent.
- Car door magnets→Printed magnetic sheet approx. €21–32 net per m². A pair of 60 × 50 cm magnets falls within the minimum order of approx. €24 net.
- T-shirts for volunteers→An A4 transfer print is approx. €3.30 net per shirt for 20–49 pieces, approx. €1.90 net from 100. A recognisable team when delivering leaflets.
- Printed pens→A plastic pen with a one-colour print from approx. €0.35 net each for 500 pieces. The simplest small giveaway for meetings.
5. Design, deadlines and after the election
One master design, then adaptations for every format: that is the quickest and cheapest way. We plan installation to finish before any pre-election silence period begins. After the election the committee must remove its material; our crew can do that for you.
- Design and format adaptations→Designing a simple banner is approx. €42 net with two rounds of changes; adapting a finished design to another format approx. €13 net. We put the committee imprint on every version.
- Banner installation and removalCrew time approx. €42 net per man-hour, travel approx. €1 net per km (both ways). After the election we collect banners from your list of locations.

From our experience — what to watch out for
- Before sending files to print, show them to your agent. A missing or illegible imprint is a mistake you can’t fix on 2,000 printed leaflets.
- Leave room on the design for the ballot number or position if your system uses one. These are often settled late, and reprinting a whole run costs more than a sticker.
- Collect fence owners’ consents before ordering banners. As many consents, as many banners; the rest just sits in storage.
- Order cable ties or cord with the banners, plus a few spares. Some banners will disappear or be damaged during the campaign.
- Keep a list of where your material is hanging. Without it, removal after the election takes twice as long.
