The deal is for the production of all magazines within the IPC Connect portfolio Woman, Womans Own, Womans Weekly, Chat and Now! together with Whats On TV, TV Times and the fortnightly Soap Life from the tx stable.
The relationship between IPC and Polestar is a long one, with the group having printed Woman, Womans Own and Womans Weekly since the 1970s.
The titles are due to be split across Polestars printing sites. Whats On TV and Now! are to be printed at Polestar Petty in Leeds, Woman, Womans Own, Womans Weekly and Chat at Polestar Purnell in Bristol, and TV Times at Polestar Chantry in Wakefield.
Soap Life is currently printed at Polestar Watford, but is due to be moved to the Petty or Chantry plant following the decision to close the Watford site.
Polestars operations director David Holland said: It is the experience that we have gained, coupled with the support and flexibility we have shown in absorbing a range of schedule and product changes, that exemplifies our relationship with IPC.
