PRINT COMMUNICATIONS GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS
Editorial Opportunities
ICMA welcomes editorial submissions pertaining to card manufacturing, personalization and general industry news. We accept features and news about companies, people, products, technology, methods, applications and industry news and trends.
How to submit editorial contributions:
Press releases: The deadline to submit press releases/news for each issue is reflected on the adjacent calendar. ICMA reserves the right to designate in what issue the news will be run, or if the news will be run, due to space constraints or other factors. E-mailed submissions are preferred. Please include 300 dpi graphics or photos in separate files (e.g. jpg, pdf, eps, etc.). Press releases will be placed in these magazine sections:
• Member and Product News (company news, new product announcements or changes)
• Industry News
• People News (e.g. promotions, new hires)
• Events
Feature articles: A one- or two-paragraph abstract for a feature should be e-mailed to the editor before submission. Once approved, submit full copy at least two weeks before the press release/news deadline per adjacent chart. Features are tailored to the theme of each issue, but a feature can be submitted any time for any issue. (Features may be held for a specific issue to reflect the particular editorial themes). Features should be written to address technical or industry issues of card manufacturers, personalizers or breaking industry interests and should not be a sales piece. Case histories on successful card applications are also welcome. An author biography and photo for bylined articles are encouraged.
E-mail press releases, photos (300dpi) and feature articles to:
