SBCA Magazine Acceptable Advertising Materials

Digital Materials Required: Please provide files via email (15 MB limit) or cloud sharing (contact staff for details) in one of the formats listed below in order of preference:

• Press-ready PDF file with all fonts embedded. (We cannot use PDF files that have been prepared for use on the web.)
• Photoshop® TIF or hi-res JPG file with all fonts
• Adobe Illustrator® EPS file with all fonts converted to outlines.

Ads that have selectable text and extractable images are ideal for the digital magazine for a better mobile experience.  Any other type of file requires use of an outside vendor and may result in additional charges. Publisher accepts no responsibility for content or reproduction of files that can be manipulated.

Very Important: For all digital files, ensure that all graphics are at least 300 dpi at the required size, and the color is set for CMYK. Use stylized fonts and do not apply style attributes to basic fonts. All elements must be placed at 100% size. Avoid rotation or cropping of images in desktop layout programs; do this in Illustrator® or Photoshop®. Do not nest EPS files in other EPS files. ALL colors MUST be in CMYK mode. RGB images will result in additional conversion charges. Spot colors are printed as 4/c process match.

Color: SBCA staff makes every attempt to match the color in ads to the color proofs. However, a certain amount of color variation is considered acceptable in the printing industry. Please contact staff with specific questions about color matching or special color needs. Publisher is not responsible for the outcome of any digitally supplied ad received without an appropriate color or black and white proof. If necessary, SBCA staff will create one and bill the customer (color proof = $20 per full page or smaller).

Storage: Ad materials are stored on a non-guaranteed basis for one year, and then destroyed unless SBCA staff is otherwise notified by the advertiser.

SBCA Magazine Billing

Invoices will be emailed upon publication of the magazine along with proof of placed advertising. If you have questions about your invoice, please contact Jennifer Gustafson at jennifer@sbcacomponents.com or 224-236-3694.

Payments: Payment terms will be Net thirty (30) days. Advertisers and their agencies assume liabilities for all content in their ads and for any claims arising therefrom. The publisher reserves the right to refuse any advertisement.

Cancellations & Short Rates: If, for any reason, an advertisement is cancelled after the space reservation deadline, the publisher reserves the right to repeat a former ad at full rate. If the advertiser has not previously run an ad, the advertiser will be charged for the cost of the space reserved. An advertiser billed at the contract rate, who fails to fulfill contract terms, will be billed at the actual frequency level earned. Contracts cancelled without placement of any advertising are subject to a 20% cancellation fee. Neither the advertiser nor its agency may cancel advertising after the closing date.
