Definitions
By commercial advertisement supplement we mean when a manufacturer advertises himself or his business. Among non-commercial advertisements we can mention for example political trends of opinion or notifications from governmental departments.

ADVERTISEMENT MARKING
Since the legally responsible publisher of the paper is utterly the one who approves the introduction of the advertisement, it is essential that any planned advertisement supplements are approved by some sort of outline/“dummy” in good time before printing and distribution. The reader must at a quick glance be able to distinguish the supplement from the editorial. Note that the editorial supplements may not hold a separate publisher, because the publisher of the newspaper is also responsible for the supplements.

Marking
A supplement can be fitted with an easily visible border across the top of each page

ANNONSBILAGA Hela denna bilaga är en annons från XX ANNONSBILAGA
The border is tailored to the size of the printed matter.

Width Height Text
300mm-397mm 8mm 14p
150mm-299mm 6mm 12p
000mm-149mm 5mm 10p
The frame is set with 0,5 mm line. The text is set with Helvetica. In case of print fallout, the border can be copied in with positive or negative text. To avoid misunderstandings, always send a dummy for reviewing.

Mediekompaniet disclaims all responsibility for printed matter which does not follow the rules for advertisement supplement for the city newspapers.

It is also a benefit if the supplement differs in colour, choice of fonts and paper quality from the main paper.
