Canberra's print demand comes from government agencies and contractors, industry associations, education and campaign activity during federal and ACT election periods. Down Under Print is an online printer: configure the job, get a free artwork check and instant online proof (manual proof $15), and the finished print is couriered to your Canberra address. This page covers what Canberra buyers order, how the climate affects signs and what delivery looks like.
What Canberra organisations order
Contractors and consultants working with government order business cards and letterheads for tender packs and meetings. Associations and community groups order flyers and posters for events and campaigns. During election periods, candidates and campaign teams use corflute signs and PVC banners heavily, so read our guide to corflute sign rules and the political campaigns page before ordering. Floriade in September and October draws exhibitors and food stalls who need pull-up banners and printed signs.
Cold winters and dry air
Canberra is dry with cold winters, frosts and large temperature swings between day and night. Corflute holds up in frost, but the cold makes it more brittle to handle, so store and transport boards flat. In summer, UV and wind apply as in any inland city. For long outdoor campaigns, replace faded or damaged signs rather than leaving them up, since display periods are limited anyway.
Signage rules
The ACT is a territory, so signage on public land is governed by ACT Government rules rather than a city council, and election signs have their own conditions set by the relevant electoral authority. Check current requirements before you install signs on public land, and use our council signage guide as a checklist.

Canberra FAQs
How long does delivery to Canberra take?

Who sets the rules for election signs in Canberra?
Election signage is governed by the relevant electoral rules and the ACT Government for public land. Check the current requirements before ordering and installing, and see our corflute sign rules guide for the common questions.
Can I order business cards for a government contractor?
Yes. Business cards come in the standard 90 x 55mm and four other sizes, single or double sided, from 25 cards on 350gsm double sided with no laminate, and from 100 or 250 on most other cards. Put licence, clearance or ABN details on the card only if your contract or industry body requires them.
Do corflute signs handle Canberra frosts?
Yes, corflute is weather resistant, but handle boards carefully in the cold and store them flat. Fix them securely, since wind can be strong on open ground.
What can I print for Floriade?
Pull-up banners for stalls, flyers for hand-outs and posters for notice boards. Allow time for proofing, dispatch and delivery before the event starts.
