PREPRINTS — GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Size & Weight Specifications – Width: minimum 6”, Maximum 12”. Height: minimum 10”, Maximum 11.75”. Minimum paper thickness .005
2. Acceptability – All inserts are subject to review by the advertising director for copy and mechanical acceptability prior to insertion.
3. Holiday Insertions – The Sunday preprint prices shall apply for insertion on the following holidays: New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday;
Memorial Day; 4th of July; Labor Day; Thanksgiving Day & Christmas Day.
4. Page Counts – Preprints containing a gatefold, flap, envelope or blown-in card, add two Pages to total Page count.
5. Quantities – A minimum of 10,000 preprints is required. Delivered quantity requirements are based on circulation ordered plus provisions for unsold
copies of the newspaper, estimated shipment and machine damage and margin to provide for unpredictable circulation increases. Circulation is variable;
therefore, it is recommended that the advertiser confirm delivered quantity requirements with their Lexington Herald-Leader account executive prior to
reserving. Any disputes in billing quantities must be communicated and resolved within 90 days of insertion.
All Preprint insert prices are quoted as net cost per thousand. Annual contracts are required to receive discounted prices.
The Herald-Leader does not insert on Mondays.
PACKING AND SHIPPING REQUIREMENTS
Reservation Deadlines – Preprint insertion reservations are to be scheduled by written order from the advertiser stating the date of insertion, size,
quantity and the title/description of the preprint to the Lexington Herald-Leader 30 days in advance of publication date. Verbal or telephone orders will be
accepted but should be confirmed by an insertion order.
Shipment Deadlines – Preprinted inserts must arrive at the Lexington Herald-Leader no later than 10 days prior to the insertion date. Preprints arriving
after deadline may be omitted.
Shipment Specifications – Preprints should be delivered pre-paid on 42” x 48” skids to: Lexington Herald-Leader Packaging Center, 2375 Fortune
Drive, Lexington, KY 40509. Preprint deliveries are accepted Monday – Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. (Saturday, Sunday or holiday deliveries are not accepted.) The bill of lading should note delivery hours, total quantity of preprints, date of insertion and advertiser’s name.
Billing – If a greater than ordered amount of inserts is received, inserts will be distributed appropriately and advertiser will be billed for the total quantity
distributed. Failure to ship total order is the liability of the advertiser or printer. No credit will be issued for short delivery after the 10-day window. When
machine inserting cannot be accomplished, it may be possible to hand insert a preprint section at an additional cost of $25 per thousand. Pre-approval
for hand insertion is required.

AD POSITION
The Lexington Herald-Leader will attempt to honor all position requests, but
we cannot guarantee that your ad will be on a particular page or in a specific
section.
ADVERTISEMENTS RESEMBLING NEWS STORIES
The Lexington Herald-Leader reserves the right to review any advertising set
to resemble news matter. Any advertising submitted in this style must, at a
minimum, follow these criteria for consideration for publication:
• Must carry the word “Advertisement” in bold type, no less than 12 points,
at the top of the ad, up to 2 columns, for larger ads typeset once for each 2
column width.
• Fonts in Letras, BentonGothic & Bureau Roman may not be used.
• Ads must be surrounded by at least a 3-point border.
• Ad may not use a news style byline or dateline.
Free standing inserts that resemble editorial content published by the Lexington Herald-Leader are subject to review by our editorial board. The Lexington
Herald-Leader reserves the right to accept or reject the insert based on the
editorial board’s findings. Advance copies should be received three weeks prior
to insertion date for review.
ANNUAL CONTRACT REGULATIONS
Contracts for the newspaper’s advertising are for one year from the effective
date.
Upon signing a retail advertising agreement, the advertiser agrees to use the
minimum dollars agreed upon during the contract term. In the event the minimum or frequency amount contracted for is not fulfilled, the advertiser will be
billed, in addition to the price charged, the difference between it and the price
actually earned based on the schedules shown.
BROKERED SPACE
Any material submitted for publication that contains multiple advertisers that
are not under the same ownership should be received three weeks prior to
distribution for approval. The Lexington Herald-Leader reserves the right to
refuse any material that, in its opinion, contains advertising space that was sold
by a third party or at a brokered price.
CANCELLATION
In the event the advertiser has prepaid for advertising which is later rejected
or cancelled by the Lexington Herald-Leader, the sole liability for such action
by the Lexington Herald-Leader shall be a refund of the unused portion of the
prepayment for such canceled advertising. Advertiser shall not be entitled to
any refund or credit for prepaid advertising which is cancelled by the advertiser after the first day of publication of the advertisement. If advertisement
is not pre-paid and advertiser wishes to cancel an ad after space reservation
deadline, advertiser will be billed a cancellation fee of 50% of the cost of the
advertisement.
COLOR AND INSERT CAPACITY
At certain times of the year, the company may reach its capacity to handle
color advertising and preprinted inserts. The earlier reservations are submitted
for these two areas, the less likely problems will occur. In the event that capacity is reached, advertiser requests for color and preprinted inserts will be filled
on a first priority basis.
COPY GUIDELINES
The Lexington Herald-Leader reserves the right to reject or revise any copy for
any reason deemed material by the Publisher. The Lexington Herald-Leader is
committed to publishing advertising for those businesses that practice fair and
equal treatment to all customers, regardless of race, gender, religion, national
origin, sexual orientation or disability. In all cases, the advertiser assumes liability for the content of all advertising printed and agrees to hold the Lexington
Herald-Leader blameless from all claims arising there from.
