Poster processing

The print shop must deliver the poster to one of the two APG|SGA Logistic Centers for processing 10 working days before the start of posting at the latest. Our logistics organizations in Lausanne and Wallisellen will ensure that your order is be carried out according to your wishes and that the technically correct procedure is guaranteed. This includes

• Requesting, incoming inspection, storage and folding of the posters
• Forwarding the posters and the posting instructions to the seven distribution centers distributed throughout Switzerland.

Note: APG|SGA will only hold posters in storage that have been delivered for subsequent bookings.

Posting

The wet posting process that is normally used in Switzerland guarantees crease-free posting of the best quality. Shortly before posting, the posters are assigned to the various posting rounds, soaked by the billposters and packed in watertight containers, and then glued – at the scheduled point in time – at the desired locations. This preparatory stage is carried out every week for up to hundreds of thousands of posters, which demands a precise time schedule.

Posting cycle
The posting schedules are indicated in the network profiles. Posting takes place according to a specific plan, according to fixed posting rounds, and always in the same sequence. The changing of the poster sites always takes place on the same day of the week, and, as a rule, also at approximately the same time of day. This posting cycle ensures that every site has the full posting period.
