INSERT CHECKLIST


o Inserts contained in a parcel below A5 size should be bound with elastic bands.


o Folded inserts presented in stacks should be turned through 180 degrees in suitable quantities but never turned upside down. Turning in quantities of less than 20 would make the production process very slow and may incur extra costs.


o All multiple fold inserts must have at least one “closed edge” for mechanical processing therefore at least one edge must be formed by a fold. This folded edge is the leading edge being fed into the publication.


o Concertina fold inserts cannot be processed mechanically and therefore the conditions under hand inserts will apply (see page 2).


o All loose inserts must be at least 5mm below the size of the publication, both in length and width. The minimum size for successful machine insertion is A6 (148x105mm).


o If there are inserts outside the above parameters e.g. strange shapes, oddities and cut-outs, you are advised to contact us early to discuss the requirements. These inserts will not feed mechanically, we will require extra time and cost to insert by hand.


We regularly process many different types of inserts (Pens, sweets, post-it notes etc). These extra operations can also include attaching discs to covers, sachets or promotional items placed in certain areas of the magazine, banding and promotional equipment.
