How to print your signs

You must print your signs:

from the version you downloaded here (no changes allowed)
in colour on A4 paper (210 x 297mm)
so they are clear, not blurry or low resolution, with high enough quality that liquor inspectors can easily see the sign’s keycode.

It’s not a requirement, but we suggest using heavier paper stock (120-200gsm) so the poster lasts longer.

How to display your signs

You can be fined if you do not display your signs correctly.

To stay compliant:

display your signs so your customers can easily see them, such as behind the bar at eye level
if you frame the sign, make sure the frame does not hide any of the wording or imagery
make sure the poster is printed straight (not crooked)
make sure it’s printed clearly, not blurry or low resolution.

You can laminate the sign if you want.
