To submit a print advertisement to New Straits Times, the artwork should be supplied as a high-resolution, print-ready PDF set in CMYK colour mode (even if the ad is black and white). All images should be at 300 dpi resolution, and all fonts must be embedded or converted to outlines to prevent text errors during printing. The PDF should be created at the exact booked advertisement size using the newspaper’s column measurements—for example, an 8-column ad is about 26.1 cm wide, so a 33 cm × 8 column ad would be roughly 26.1 cm (width) × 33 cm (height). The file should not include RGB colours, low-resolution images, or missing fonts, as these can cause printing issues on newsprint.
Advertisements submitted to New Straits Times must comply with Malaysian laws and general advertising standards. All advertisements should be legal, accurate, and not misleading, and must not contain content that is defamatory, offensive, or sensitive to race, religion, or public interest. The advertisement must also be clearly identifiable as an advertisement and should not imitate editorial or news content. Advertisers are responsible for ensuring they have the rights to use all images, logos, and trademarks included in the ad, and certain industries (such as financial, medical, or property advertising) may require relevant approvals or disclaimers. The publisher reserves the right to request amendments or reject advertisements that do not meet these guidelines.
