    Ah yes,the sporadic beauty pageant

    I want to know what material are they printed on? the plastic stuff...

    I'd hazard a guess at possibly a lightweight form of acrylic or maybe corrugated plastic. Just a guess. I can't say for sure. I've heard that some of the eco-friendly pollies are usin corrugated timber but that the rainy weather fcuks em up (the posters).

    By law, the name of the printer needs to be on them. So look at them up close. :eek:

    There usally printed on corriboard. Its the material thats used for For Sale signs etc. You will find that printers do a poor enough job design wise - their job should be simply printing and nothing else. Designers create the poster and printers print them (in terms of signage and some election posters anyway). There the cheaper material to print on. The election boards will rarely have who designed them, just who printed.

    Where you located OP?

    Thought most parties put them on? I know some independents didn't but thats down to the printer. When I did posters, I was never told until after we got them printed about the change in law.

    Quite a few SF posters lack the printers name. It is mostly independents that don't bother.

    Moving to marketing, it's got nothing to do with politics.
