Inserts
All inserts must be authorised through the production manager prior to insertion. Please allow two weeks.
1. Inserts must arrive at Rural Press no later that 4pm of the day prior to the date of publication. Deliveries
must be made to:
Rural Press
7 Rafferty Close
Mandurah
Western Australia, 6210
2. Inserts are to be labelled with publication date, insert name and the publication into which it is to be inserted.
3. It is vitally important that inserts into The Record are no too thick. This will prevent distribution and the inserts will be disgarded. Please ask for the Rural Press Insert Specification document. The Record is published weekly and goes to press every Tuesday afternoon. Distribution follows on the Wednesday immediately after printing. Distributing inserts is a more convoluted process than advertising on page. Timing is important so it is necessary to liaise with the production manager. Feel free to contact The Record for further information on: (08) 9227 7080.
