🔍 FAQ’s: SANDOW AdShuttle Submission Portal

 

Can I edit my AdShuttle submission after it has been delivered?

AdShuttle does not offer an edit option after delivery. You may complete a new submission with your revised print-ready ad creative, including any important information in the “Notes” field. Once received, our production team will delete the previous submission and move forward with the replacement submission.

Can I submit multiple ads?

Each print-ready ad will need to be uploaded separately. Please indicate any important information regarding your creatives in the “Notes” field.

For NeoCon Show Dailies, you may submit a different creative for each day by uploading separately and selecting the day from the issue menu. Please note, Day 1 and 2 are printed and distributed onsite at the event with Day 3 distributed digitally only and the specs are the same.

Why is the issue I need to select missing in AdShuttle?

If the issue you are submitting for is not showing in the drop-down menu, it may be early, before the portal has been opened to receive submissions for that date. Please reach out to printmaterials@sandowdesign.com with the issue needed and our production team will have it added to the AdShuttle menu.

Where do I submit my ad index information?
