Planning Your Election Print
Political campaigns often involve more than one piece of print. You might have leaflets going door to door, posters or Correx signs for local displays and banners or banner stands for campaign events. If you’re producing several items at once, it’s worth planning the artwork and quantities together so colours, logos, contact details and campaign information stay consistent across the full run.
For longer campaign material, such as candidate information, policies or manifesto-style documents, a printed booklet gives you more room than a standard leaflet without trying to squeeze everything onto one page.
Our election materials are printed in the UK, with recycled stock options available across many of the range and orders supplied in white-label packaging.
Political Direct Mail & Campaign Distribution
Campaign leaflets don’t have to be distributed by hand. We can also support political direct mail where printed material needs to be prepared and sent directly to households.
Depending on the campaign, that could include printing, addressing and posting your material, or preparing leaflets for wider distribution. If you’re planning a larger mailing, speak to us about the quantities, format and how the finished material needs to be supplied so we can help you work out the most suitable route.
Don’t Forget Your Election Imprint
All printed election material needs an imprint showing who is responsible for producing and publishing it. The exact details can depend on whether the material is being produced for a candidate, political party or another type of campaigner, so it’s important to check the guidance that applies to your campaign.
For printed election material such as leaflets and posters, the imprint must include the name and address of the printer, the promoter and any person on whose behalf the material is being published who is not the promoter.
If StressFreePrint is printing your election material, the printer details to include are:
Printed by StressFreePrint, Unit 5 Stonegravels Ln, Chesterfield S41 7LF
You’ll also need to add the relevant promoter details and, where applicable, the details of anyone on whose behalf the material is being published.
For single-sided material, or where most of the information appears on one side, the imprint must appear on that side. For multi-sided material, it must appear on the first or last page.
Before submitting your final artwork, check the latest Electoral Commission imprint guidance to make sure the details and placement are right for your campaign.
