Election signs
The alternative to sticking up posters during a campaign, without the need for a poster-hanging team and without any residue to remove afterwards.
In the weeks leading up to the election: on the verge of the approach road, on a supporter’s garden gate, at your branch’s premises.
Intended for a display that must be set up in one go and cleared away again after the election.

Frequently asked questions about election billboards
Why use an election sign rather than stickers?
You don’t need to stick anything down or scrape anything off. Simply place the sign where it’s allowed using two posts, and after the campaign, you can take it down in one go. That saves you the trouble of putting it up and clearing it away afterwards.
Can these signs be left outside?
Yes, that’s what they’re made for. We give them a weather-resistant finish, and hollow-core slabs are designed for outdoor use. Exactly how long a sign will last depends on its location and the weather, and we don’t specify a fixed number of months.
What’s the best way to put up a sign like that?
With two wooden posts and a sign on the front and back. Position the whole thing at right angles to the road, so that traffic from both directions can see your message rather than just the side. We can supply the posts.
Is there a version that also works in the dark?
Yes, ask about the option with an LED frame. The lights are fitted into the frame around the sign, so your message can be read even in the evening. There is also a glow-in-the-dark version available.
What sizes are available?
The standard range runs from 35 x 50 cm to 120 x 160 cm, with 40 x 60, 50 x 70, 60 x 80, 70 x 100, 80 x 120 and 100 x 140 cm. The sheet itself is available up to 2050 x 3050 mm, so a larger sign is possible, subject to agreement on the fixing method.
What if the signs are tagged?
That’s what the anti-graffiti coating is for. Please specify in your request whether you want this, as it will help determine the sign’s construction. Not everyone opts for it for a campaign lasting just a few weeks, but along certain routes it is certainly worth considering.
What’s the difference between this and a dartboard?
An election sign displays your name and your message and remains in one place throughout the campaign. A directional sign points the way to an address or an event and is taken down again after that weekend. Anyone who needs both usually orders them together.
Can I work out the price myself online?
There are currently no options for election signs in the ordering module. Please provide us with the size, print run and any options you require, and we will work out the cost. Please also specify the date by which the signs need to be in place, as a campaign has a strict deadline.
What is the minimum order quantity?
From a single piece, although a campaign always involves a series. For larger print runs, we switch to screen printing, colour by colour, and that’s when the price per plate drops significantly.
What is the largest size?
The largest standard size is 120 by 160 cm. For larger sizes, we work from sheet material, up to 2050 by 3050 mm.
When should I place my order?
Sooner than you might think. Everyone places their orders during the same few weeks, so the rush is concentrated in the run-up to the election date. Please let us know that date when you make your enquiry, and we’ll plan accordingly.
What about the environmental aspect?
Hollow-core slabs are PVC-free and can be recycled with polypropylene, with an Ecoscore of 3 out of 5. Furthermore, a sign without a fixed date on it can be reused in a subsequent campaign, and that makes a bigger difference than the choice of slab.
Description Election signs
Are you looking for election signs for a campaign that will only last a few weeks? Creafor manufactures them in-house in Lokeren, as an alternative to stick-on posters, so you don’t need to send out a team to put them up and there’s nothing to scrape off afterwards. Most candidates use two wooden posts, hang a sign on the front and the back, and position the whole structure at right angles to the road. This way, drivers travelling in both directions can read the sign. For this, we print on corrugated plastic sheeting – light enough for two people to set up and with a weather-resistant finish that will last for the duration of the campaign. If you need to direct visitors to a campaign rally or an open day, you’re better off with arrow signs, because that is temporary signage and not a campaign message.

Are any election posters planned?
Please provide us with the plan or the dimensions, and tell us what needs to be included. We will assess the best options from a technical and budgetary perspective, and draw up a proposal covering design, production and installation.
