WHY CHOOSE A2

Why A2 Newspaper Insertions Deliver Results

The A2 format has been the backbone of newspaper insertion advertising in India for decades. Here is why advertisers keep coming back to this tried-and-tested format.

Massive Reach in a Single Day

A2 is the largest insertion format available. A single newspaper edition can deliver your message to hundreds of thousands of households before breakfast, making it the fastest way to achieve mass awareness.

Lowest Cost Per Impression

Printed on SNP sheet at 45 GSM, A2 inserts are priced at just ₹2/paper (includes printing, insertion & transportation, GST extra). MOQ is 50,000 copies. Large print runs keep costs low, maximising your budget.

Native Newspaper Experience

Because A2 inserts use the same paper stock and folding as the newspaper, they feel like a natural part of the reading experience. Readers engage with them just as they would with editorial pages, boosting attention and recall.

Full-Page Canvas for Storytelling

The generous 33cm x 53cm surface area gives you room for detailed project layouts, large product images, maps, price tables, and compelling copy all on a single sheet without compromising readability.

Flexible Print Options

A2 inserts are printed double-side with full multicolour on SNP sheet at 45 GSM. The middle folding converts the sheet to A3 size for easy handling inside the newspaper.

Proven Response Rates

Newspaper inserts consistently outperform digital ads in recall and response. Studies show that physical print advertising generates 70% higher brand recall compared to online banners, and A2 inserts lead the pack in visibility.
