Leaflet Inserts

The Environment

Leaflet insertion is available via the newspaper, a cost effective way of distributing your message.

We’re well aware of the impact we have on the environment. As part of our efforts to reduce this, we’ve partnered with Ecologi, the platform for climate action, and have committed to plant 25 trees for every issue that we print. You can see how we’re doing via our Ecologi profile here.

Insertion needs to be arranged with us at least two weeks before the scheduled newspaper issue date. The maximum size is A4.

Pricing: £45* per 1,000 inserts. *Price excludes leaflet printing, if required.
