• Books, brochures, pamphlets and leaflets. 
• Newspapers, journals or periodicals.
• Children's picture books and painting books. 
• Maps, charts and topographical plans. 
• Covers, cases and other articles supplied with items 1-5.

Non-Printed Matter is anything else that does not match the above formats.
