What is “bonanza”? “Bonanza” wasn’t just Ben, Hoss and Little Joe Cartwright – role models for adolescent men for fourteen years. Above all, bonanza stands for happiness and prosperity, for a found vein of gold, i.e. for a good time and a good mood.

Packaging of product samples for delivery
  • The closure seal should not be at the bottom (magazine base line) or on the bundle side of the finished product.

Material

The bag material must generally be tailored to the contents and comply with specified load requirements. Samples must not have any hazardous content or impair the processing or dispatch of a printed magazine. The publishing house must be relieved of all liability in relation to third-party claims resulting from the provision of a product sample. The publishing house must furthermore be compensated for any damages it incurs due to non-observance of the technical requirements. In the event of any processing difficulties due to poor quality bag material, completion of the magazine print run will take priority over gluing in the bags.

  • Tip-ons glued in the wrong way round
