1. Heavy specialities on request
2. Bound inserts/ loose inserts and piggybacks: insert with sample 30% surcharge
Technical conditions
FormatMinimum: 200 x 105 mm
Maximum: 310 x 230 mm
QualityThe supplements must be easy to machine process and must not stick to one another, whether due to moisture or static charge. For special finishes, samples must be used to check the technical feasibility in advance.
Cover wrap/flapThe design of cover wraps with a shortened flap has to be based on the supplement format. The flap must only be shortened on one side, have a minimum width of 50 mm and be no more than 80 mm shorter than the overall product width. If the cover page is shortened, the product is positioned the other way round in the carrier product for technical reasons.
LayoutSupplements can only be processed if they have a parallel, roll, closed gate or cross fold. Zig-zag and open gate folds cannot be processed. All supplements must have a closed edge. Mistargeting and placement errors of 2 – 3% are standard within the industry.
Further information
Booking/Cancellation5 weeks before publication
Dummy versionThe final acceptance (good to go) requires a binding sample to be provided on time.
SchedulingFor very thin supplements, duplicate placements cannot be precluded.
Third-party adsFor brochures containing third-party ads, +20% of the gross price for a 1/1 page will be charged per ad.
PositioningPositioning requests will be considered insofar as possible depending on the magazine structure and the properties of the supplement. However, there is no entitlement to mandatory insertion points. It is only possible to insert supplements in specific places on agreement.
