A0 Correx Board Printing in Manchester

Seasonal roadside signs in Worsley

A garden centre or farm near Worsley selling Christmas trees from late November needs passing traffic to notice before the turning. An A0 board cable-tied to the boundary fence, facing the main road, with "Christmas Trees" in huge letters and an arrow, does more than any small sign by the gate. In January it comes down and goes in the skip or the recycling. That short life is exactly what Correx is for: think months, not years.

Choose 5mm at this size

At A0, the 3.5mm board flexes in a gust and can bow between fixings. 5mm is stiffer and holds flatter, which matters more the bigger the board gets. Fix it with cable ties straight through the flutes, at each corner and halfway along the long sides, onto a fence, railings or two posts. Double-sided printing makes sense where traffic comes from both directions.

Letters need to be big. A driver passing at 30 mph has a couple of seconds, so keep it to four or five words and a direction.

Outdoors, a sign counts as an advertisement under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Many temporary signs need no application, but check with the council for anything near a road junction or on land you do not own.
