| Packing Requirements |
| • |
All inserts must be tied in equal-count bundles approximately
4-6 inches in height, with 50, 100, 200, 500 or 1,000 to a bundle. |
| • |
All inserts must not be tied. |
| • |
Preprinted supplements may be brick-stacked on solid-base,
non-returnable skids or pallets with four-way entry. If necessary
to maintain product integrity, cards and single sheets may
be packed in cartons. The cartons must be fully packed or
well
dunnaged internally. Cartons must be placed on skids. 4-inch
minimum floor clearance required for skids. Maximum height:
5 feet. Maximum weight: 2,500 lbs. |
| • |
A protective cover must be placed on the pallet before stacking,
between layers, and on top of the stack before adding the skid
top. This will help minimize dampness and curling of the sections.
The skid top must be of wood or sturdy synthetic and of the
same size as the base. The stacked product must not extend beyond
the edges of the skid. Each pallet must be securely banded and
plastic-wrapped, taking care not to damage the inserts. |
| • |
Each skid should be of the same size and contain the same
number of inserts (end of run pallet excepted). |
| • |
Each skid must be marked with a skid flag that states printer’s
name and address, advertiser’s name, newspaper’s
name, version name or number, insertion date, quantity in each
skid, individual skid number of total number of skids, and total
quantity in the shipment. |
| • |
Every publication included in a shipment must
be accompanied by its own bill of lading which states printers
name and address, advertisers name, newspaper’s name,
version name or number and insertion date. |
