The company will fulfil NatMags' magazine subscriptions, already printed by Polestar, for titles including Cosmopolitan (travel size), Country Living, Good Housekeeping, Prima, Prima Baby, Runners World, SHE and Zest.

The new contract sits alongside the DM recruitment mailing that Chantry also produces for NatMags, which totals more than 700,000 pieces per annum.

Avril Jenkins, key account director for NatMags at Polestar, said: "Polestar is proud to be offering the National Magazine Company a fully connected communication chain, with services covering the entire process of direct mail, magazine printing, binding and subscription mailing."

Sharon Douglas, group circulation and marketing director of Natmags, added: "We have every confidence that they will be able to provide the high level of quality and attention to detail our customers expect from their magazine subscription service."
