Print & Deliver (P&D)
The Washington Post offers creative service, printing and distribution on a mix of standard products for advertisers who do not have an agency or the necessary resources themselves. If an advertiser would like something outside of the standard products, custom quotes can be requested. All P&D products, with the exception of Market Values, may run both in the paper and in the mail. Learn more
Targeted Wraps
The packages that wrap The Washington Post (Outer Wrap), Sunday preprint package (Inner Wrap) and Post Plus (Shopping Guide) are highly visible premium vehicles for an advertiser’s message. These high-impact products are the first things the consumer sees when they pick up their home-delivered paper or rip into the Sunday preprint package, or when non-subscribers open their mailboxes.
