If you read the d2d agreement 4 d2d would be put in place on the 7th of june, 5 d2d at a later date probably after the summer and when the revisions happen which will be at the beginning of next year you will have 6+. By that time they will have the 6 d2d's put into one, so you won't have to prep. ;liar

No, that ain't going to happen, for two big reasons.

First off, advertisers won't go for it. If you are spending thousands on a leaflet campaign, you would refuse to allow your leaflet to be shoved in an envalope with a bunch of others. In the same way that we are not supposed to fold D2D's toegether, or put one "inside" another (though I suspect most of us do anyway...)

Secondly, why WOULD they? We've already agreed to deliver as many as they want to make us, with no extra cash for volume/weight. We've already agreed to prep them (although no extra time seems to be given...), there's no mention of bundling them together in the new agreement, it was only a suggestion, that they MIGHT do. Why would they spend the extra money on machines to prep them for us, when we've already agreed to do it ourselves?

But it's a moot point, as the advertisers will never go for it...
