Loose supplements
Technical conditions
| Format | Minimum: 200 x 105 mm Maximum: 310 x 230 mm |
| Quality | The 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/flap | The 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. |
| Layout | Supplements 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. |
| Booking/Cancellation | 5 weeks before publication |
| Dummy version | The final acceptance (good to go) requires a binding sample to be provided on time |
| Scheduling | For very thin supplements, duplicate placements cannot be precluded |
| Third-party ads | For brochures containing third-party ads, +20 % of the gross price for a 1/1 page will be charged per ad |
| Positioning | Positioning 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. |
| Good for printing | The final version (good for printing) of the supplement must be submitted in advance to the publisher for review. Logos of Ringier Media Switzerland titles may only be used after consultation. |
