Print Ad Specifications
The below specs are for Nation's Restaurant News, CSP, and Supermarket News.
Nation’s Restaurant News
TRIM SIZE: 10" x 12"
Bleed Ads
For ads that include bleed, please be sure to include a bleed of 0.125" beyond the specified trim dimensions on all 4 sides. Please keep all non-bleed images, artwork and text 0.25” inside the trim dimensions to avoid any problems with normal shifting during trimming of the magazine. This will accommodate invisible bleed and trim page boxes that SendMyAd will use to check the ad size, as SendMyAd is based off of the trim size of the ad.
