UK election printing guide

Election Campaign Printing Guide

Plan coordinated UK election campaign printing, from leaflets and posters to signs and roller banners.

Practical production guidance for UK campaigns. Rules and requirements can differ by election and location; check the current official guidance that applies to your material.

Range of campaign print products

Campaign print is easier to manage when formats, artwork and timings are planned together. This guide focuses on practical print planning, not party messaging or electoral strategy.

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.

Match formats to practical use

Leaflets and postcards suit distribution and handouts, posters suit close or window display, Correx signs suit approved board locations and roller banners suit indoor events or campaign spaces. Begin with where and how each item will be used.

Create a consistent visual system

Use consistent type, colours, image treatment and contact details across products so the materials feel related. Rebuild each artwork file to the correct finished size rather than enlarging a small design beyond its intended dimensions.

Plan artwork before the deadline

Allow time for proofing, internal approval and any artwork changes. A job cannot proceed until required artwork is usable and approved. Production turnaround and delivery/transit are separate parts of the process.

Order with the right level of flexibility

Use live product options for straightforward jobs. If a campaign needs an unusual size, quantity, stock or combination of materials, request a quote before making commitments around budget or timing.
