2. Inserts are to be labelled with publication date, insert name and the publication into which it is to be inserted.

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.
