Digital Magazine Services from LibreDigital

Digital magazine consumption has dramatically increased over the past few years with the introduction of tablet and dedicated color eReading devices. Successful digital “newsstands” from leading retailers give magazine publishers new channels to expand the reach of their content and explore new advertising opportunities. At the same time, the world's largest OEMs are looking for ways to include digital magazine offerings with their latest devices. LibreDigital helps power the emerging digital magazine ecosystem - helping retailers, OEMs, and publishers to capture this growth.

LibreDigital's patented magazine distribution platform works with publisher's traditional print assets. After we ingest and normalize the content, it is transformed and optimized to best suit the needs of both the publisher and our distribution partners. The results are the highest quality digital files with crisp graphics, exactly replicated views of pages, article assets that automatically re-format to fit the screens of the specific reading devices/ applications (that our 3rd party partners support), and a schematic “replica map”.

Our entire digital magazine distribution workflow is secure and closely monitored. Each and every magazine issue is put through our leading quality control process. Once files are transformed, we make sure that the newly optimized files are delivered on time to our partners and in accordance with publisher's production schedules.

In Home Delivery

Our job isn't done until the magazine is in your subscriber's mailbox or on the newsstand shelf.

With regular shipments to more United States Postal Service (USPS) processing facilities than any other magazine provider, LSC Communications’ periodical platform allows you to obtain the lowest postage rates available. And if your mailing quantities don't qualify for discounts, our Co-Mailing Program allows you to receive discounts that otherwise wouldn't have met sortation discount criteria.
