Pop-Ups...An AmMax Exclusive!
Unlike blow-in inserts, pop-ups are actually stitched in the magazine. We print the section so that it's 1/2" higher than the host publication and it can have any page count in increments of 4 (4,8,12...) Excellent way to feature a shopping center, holiday specials, real estate listings, etc.
(Standard specifications call for the host magazine to have a finished size of 8"X10" and the pop-up 8"x10.5".)

Here's the pop-up from the above magazine pulled out. To create a "pop-up", we print the regular magazine - in this case the North Shore Connection to a finish size of 8" x 10". We then print the pop-up to an 8" x 10.5" finish trim so that when the two sections are bound, the shopping center insert sticks up 1/2" at the top. This is an excellent alternative to a blow-in insert when we're printing both products. It's a little less expensive, and it looks reeeal good!
Other Pop-Up Examples
This pop-up is an 8-page home improvement guide. It was placed in 6 magazines mailing to over 150,000 homes for the May 2007 issues of Bayou Shopper Magazines, Metairie, LA. Excellent use of a seasonal advertising campaign!
