Please send your advertising material to our e-mail address post (at) oberflaechen-technik.net or upload it directly via web browser upload to our corporate cloud (link on request).

At least 3 business days before the start of the campaign. With these lead times, we have sufficient time together to test the formats and ensure safe delivery of the campaign. Delays due to late deliveries are otherwise not at our expense.

We require at least the following information upon delivery: Booking period, advertising format, contact person and, if applicable, customer name (for agencies).

  • Banner advertising: We regularly deliver banners directly from our own integrated ad server and our URL oberflaechen-technik.net (no third-party providers like Google Ads). Your advantage: No blocking by adblockers, no data to third parties. If you want another method, just contact us!
  • Scaling: Surface Technology Online and the Surface Technology Newsletter are based on a responsive web design, i.e. they adapt optimally to the end device used (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.). Advertising media such as banners are therefore also scaled to the size of the end devices for the best possible display, the actual size may therefore vary.
  • Animated banners: The display of animated graphics may vary depending on the browser type and the software used to create them and in rare cases may be faulty, unfortunately this is beyond our control. We therefore recommend to test the banners with different browsers beforehand.
