ZINIO online delivery takes the world of paper-based publishing and transforms it into an environmentally friendly growth opportunity for publishers and advertisers.  Digital editions can be read online or offline and seamlessly incorporate rich media interactivity including video, flash and audio. 

PMP NZ CEO Rodger Shepherd says “We have seen a growing requirement from New Zealand Publishers to produce digital versions of magazines and hence we are delighted to be able to now offer ZINIO to our customers. I believe that ZINIO is a logical fit with our magazine distribution and print business investments in New Zealand and Australia and adds significant value to our vision as a complete publishing solutions provider.” 

“We have done considerable research into the various digital publishing options and firmly believe ZINIO is the best.  It is great to be involved with the world leader.”
