1. Delivery time: daily newspapers – delivery must take place 3 days prior to insertion. This will allow the mailroom to ensure that inserts comply with specifications and allow time to take corrective action. For the community newspapers the delivery must take place on the Thursday prior to the following week’s inserting. This will allow the mailroom to do a pre-insert run should the inserts exceed the capability of the inserting equipment in a single run.
2. Product specifications:
3. Types of folding: folded inserts must be processed in right-angled folding, parallel folding or centre fold only. no concertina, door or accordion ford should be processed as this causes major production delay. 4.
