What is Periodicals?
Periodicals is a service for sending your newspaper or magazine to readers or subscribers throughout Sweden. A minimum of 500 copies must be submitted, and you can choose whether they are sorted or unsorted, as well as whether delivery takes two (Periodicals A) or four working days (Periodicals B).
To use the service, your Periodical must meet the following requirements:
- Be registered in PostNord's newspaper registry – submit your application here.
- Hold a publishing certificate from the Swedish Patent and Registration Office.
- Contain at least 25% editorial content.
- Include a maximum of 25% advertising material from a single advertiser.
The newspaper must be labeled with either “A Posttidning, ej retur” or “ B Posttidning, ej retur”. Periodicals is always classified as Sustainable with PostNord and may carry a special label block. The shipment must also include a postal operator zone, where we print a sorting code during processing. Read more about postal operator zones in our guide Skicka rätt med PostNord.
To send Periodicals, you need to be a service agreement customer.
Delivery
Periodicals A is typically delivered within two working days after submission.
