Heavy specialities on request.
Bound inserts/ loose inserts and piggybacks: insert with sample 30% surcharge.
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.
Further information
- 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.
Packaging specifications
- The supplements must be stacked cover-side down.
- The stacked layers must each be of a size that is suitable for handling (grip height of 8 –10 cm).
- The supplements must be placed on a pallet loose, not bound or entwined.
- The layers must be separated by cardboard inlays.
- Maximum pallet height: 1.10 m
- The pallets should each be cross strapped with two straps, especially for longer journeys.
- Euro pallets will be exchanged.
- If supplements are not processed and packaged as stipulated, this may affect the insertion deadline and result in additional costs. These will be passed on.
- Packaging options:
- With a lid and steel strapping
- Securely shrink wrapped
- Firmly stacked in a pallet frame
Pallet labelling
Pallets must be clearly labelled with the following information:
- Precise description or title of the supplement
- Name or title of the carrier product (split/region)
- Publication date
- Delivery quantity, including the number of copies per pallet and the number of pallets

Dynamic Pricing
All clients and agencies have the opportunity o benefit from Dynamic Pricing. Here, a discount is granted for each booking, which is based on the following five criteria: Seasonality, Sales Development, Placement, Timing and Flexibility. In addition to the dynamic discount, clients and agencies continue to receive a final discount, which is based on the gross annual turnover. For the calculation of this discount, a uniform print closing discount scale applies.
