TR Trades Reproduction prints local election signs, flyers, campaign office window vinyls with the candidate’s face and party colours.

The timing of this federal election coincides with one of the biggest challenges the local shop has to manage.

A study by Donald Green at Yale University suggests electoral signs do increase candidates’ vote margins incrementally, 1.7 percentage points.

The machine, which arrived in late December , is so technical, it has its own dedicated production manager and climate-controlled room.

It can print on rubber mats, acrylic, ceiling tiles or raw wood.

The machine raises the possibility for less-traditional election signage - your candidate printed on your front door, or printed on a doormat to be walked upon.
