Send Your Announcements

As a membership benefit, IAPD members may submit press releases free of charge. Nonmember companies that advertise in an issue of the magazine are entitled to free publicity in the People & Places section. Nonmember companies may have their press releases published for a US$500 publicity fee.

Editorial Policy for Performance Plastics Departments
Interested in getting your news in Performance Plastics? We welcome your press releases. Just follow these simple guidelines:

People and Places

The People & Places section is the place to publicize personnel moves such as new hires, promotions, retirements and so on. It’s also the place to share news about your company with the rest of the industry, such as relocating to a new location, receiving an accolade or reaching a milestone of some sort.

People & Places announcements are usually approximately 150 words or less. When sending news about a person, please include a passport‐style photo to accompany the announcement. The photo should have a vertical orientation, include head and shoulders only, have a plain background and be high resolution (at least 300 dpi) for best results. We can work with most graphic image types, but please do not send a photo that has been embedded in a Word document because those images are usually too low resolution.

Although news from companies that are not IAPD members is permitted in this section, priority is given to news from IAPD member companies.
