Australia-wide

Cairns is built around tourism, the reef and rainforest, with hospitality, trades and a busy dry-season calendar. Down Under Print is an online printer run from Queensland: you configure the job, get a free artwork check and instant online proof (manual proof $15), and the finished print is couriered to your Cairns address. This page covers what Cairns buyers order, what the wet tropics mean for signs and how to plan delivery.

What Cairns businesses order

Tour operators, accommodation and restaurants order brochures, postcards and flyers for visitor racks and hotel desks. Cafes and bars use stickers for packaging and posters for events. Trades order corflute signs and business cards for sites and quotes. Festival and market organisers choose pull-up banners and PVC banners for stands and fences. Demand peaks in the dry season from about June to October, when visitor numbers rise.

Wet tropics weather

Cairns is hot and humid with a heavy wet season from about December to March, and cyclones are possible. Choose outdoor materials that cope with rain: PVC vinyl for banners and corflute for boards. Fix banners at every eyelet and take them down in severe weather. High humidity can also affect paper, so keep spare printed stock dry. Our pull-up versus PVC banner guide helps you decide between a portable and a fixed banner.

Signage rules

Cairns Regional Council and event organisers set conditions for signs on public land. Check the current rules before installing, and use our corflute sign rules guide as a checklist.
