Election Flyer Printing | Political Campaign Flyers

Technical specifications – election flyer printing

Format and stock: Election flyers use the same core production principles as commercial flyers, with size, paper weight and finish selected according to the campaign’s distribution method and required durability.

Printing: Full-colour CMYK with single- or double-sided options according to the chosen specification. Multiple designs should be ordered and supplied as separate sets where required.

Artwork setup: Include 3mm bleed on all sides and keep critical content at least 3mm inside the trim, ideally 5mm where possible. Supply a print-ready CMYK PDF at 300dpi with all fonts outlined or embedded.

Multiple designs: Where several candidate, ward or constituency versions are required, submit artwork in the order required for each set. A multi-page PDF may be used where the ordering workflow supports multiple designs; front/back sequencing must remain unambiguous.

Political-print requirement: Campaign artwork must include any imprint and other information required by the legislation and Electoral Commission guidance applicable to the campaign. The customer is responsible for checking the legal wording, promoter/publisher details, candidate information, dates and claims before approval.

Technical recommendation: Keep the imprint readable at the final printed size and away from the trim. Do not reduce legally important text merely to fit additional campaign copy; allow sufficient clear space in the layout.
