2. Can your sites accept electronically?

All of our newspaper sites can accept electronic delivery via Quickcut or by email. We find Quickcut the most reliable form of material delivery.

3. Can your sites accept e-mails?

Yes they can. Current production email addresses are listed for each paper.

4. What are your column dimensions?

Our newspapers are most commonly on a 38cm x 7column format for Early General News. Most classifieds are either a 38cm x 8column format or 38xm x 4column format. These may vary slight from publication to publication - please check each paper listing for exact measurements.

5. What are your booking/material deadlines?

It is difficult to generalise with booking and material deadlines, as all newspapers are different. It is perhaps safe to say, weekly newspapers have an early booking and material deadline of 3 days prior as they print so early. Paid newspapers are generally a 3 day prior booking deadline with a 2 day material deadline. However, please check individual paper listings.

6. Can we run spot and full colour?

Yes, we love running colour advertisements! Check individual newspaper listings or contact our office regarding costs and page numbering.

7. Can we run catalogues? Are there size restrictions?

Yes we can insert catalogues in our newspapers. The only size restrictions are that they are no larger than tabloid size and their weight does not exceed 9kg per 1000 catalogues. If they do, surcharge of $15 per 1000 catalogues will apply.
