Postal Issues The difference between usual postage incurred by the publication and the Ride-Along or Standard A rates incurred by the outsert, will be billed to the client. Product samples also must pay Standard A rates. Pieces incorporating product samples are subject to the approval of the USPS, the Printer, and the Publisher. The Publisher offers no guarantee that a product sample will not be crushed or damaged in the inserting or mailing processes. Any promotional piece other than an insert in compliance with AMP guidelines is subject to the approval of the USPS and the Printer. Samples containing products must be accompanied with a Material Safety Data Sheet, required by the USPS. Earned Frequency Issues Earned frequency for the polybagging program will be assigned by the Publisher after the proposal has been accepted and a complete program is agreed upon. Included in the Price Quote for Polybagging Cost for the space (outsert) including earned frequency rates. Additional postal charges incurred by the outsert and polybag. Cost of polybagging material and process. Additional Polybagging Background Commitment for the polybag project must be made by the client two weeks prior to ad space close to allow time to schedule the project in the bindery. Polybagging may add time to the mailing schedule, depending on the complexity of the project. Material to be polybagged must follow specifications for the manufacture and manner of shipment agreed upon between the client and the Publisher. Questions to Ask the Client to Determine the Nature of the Polybagging Project Describe the outsert/piece: A-size or King-size? Number of pages?Outsert may not exceed 10 7/8 inches × 14 3/8 inches. If not a standard advertising insert (outsert), how many pages is it? Is the piece a patient education or CME-related piece? What quantity do you anticipate mailing? How many issues? Is this project time sensitive? Provide paper dummy for bindery approval and postage estimate. Ride-Along pieces mailed at Ride-Along rates must not exceed 3.3 ounces. Otherwise, Standard A rates apply.
