Generic Inserts Specifications
These specifications have been prepared so that all
parties may achieve optimum results.
Whilst every effort will be made to satisfy customer's
expectations, inserts which are outside Hannanprint Specifications or do not
comply with original booking advice, packaging, identification & delivery
requirements, or require a second production process will be subject to
re-evaluation of acceptance or incur additional charges.
Imprints
Hannanprint recommends that an imprint line appears on the insert with a
reference code or the publication / date that the insert is appearing in.
Any insert material of an unusual nature (i.e. card,
envelope, perforated insert), dimension or fold will require a dummy sample
to be viewed by Hannanprint prior to acceptance.
Upon acceptance, Hannanprint requires testing of unusual
and out of specification inserts. A minimum of 1,000 samples is required to
perform this process.
Concertina folded inserts CANNOT be mechanically
inserted.
Unusual Inserts which are bulky (i.e.; generally more
than half the thickness of the product being inserted) or vary in thickness
in relation to the product in which they are being inserted, may have
adverse affects on any or all of the following:
* Packaging
* Book Presentation
*
Quality of the finished product
Unusual inserts may require additional overs, which will
be advised at time of acceptance.
Hannanprint recommends that these issues be taken into
consideration for these types of inserts, to avoid unacceptable finished
products.
