Correx election sign for a campaign display

Correx is a lightweight fluted polypropylene board used for campaign boards and signs. A suitable size, simple layout and appropriate fixing method matter as much as the printed design.

UK campaign print reminder

This guide is designed for UK print buyers. It does not replace election, advertising, planning or legal advice for a particular location, election or campaign.

What Correx is

Correx is a corrugated polypropylene board with a fluted core. It is commonly used where a rigid, lightweight sign is required. Confirm the product thickness, finished size and fixing option before preparing the final artwork.

Choose size around the location

Smaller boards are better suited to close viewing, while larger boards are easier to read from further away when the approved location and fixing method are suitable. Check local rules and permission for the intended display location.

Keep the artwork direct

Use large, high-contrast text and avoid fine details that will be difficult to read at distance. Check the direction of any flutes, the position of holes and whether any part of the layout must avoid a fixing point.

Artwork, imprint and approval

Supply a print-ready file at the chosen board dimensions with the required bleed or safe area. Election Printing can review artwork for obvious production issues, but customers remain responsible for their campaign's legal content and imprint.
