Kvartalseid

Kvartalseid is a Norwegian term formed from kvartal (quarter) and side (page or section). The expression is encountered in publishing, media production, and advertising contexts, but it does not have a single, universally defined meaning. Its exact sense can vary between publishers, regions, and platforms.

In print media, kvartalseid can refer to a page or page-like unit that is dedicated to quarterly content, such as a brief quarterly summary, highlights, or a special report within a magazine or newspaper. It can also denote a quarter-page advertising unit, used to describe a smaller advertisement slot in a layout based on a standard page grid.

On digital platforms, kvartalseid may describe a quarterly landing page or section that aggregates quarterly news, updates, or data for a company’s website or intranet. The term is sometimes used in production notes, media kits, or contract specifications to indicate the intended format, placement, or scope of content tied to a three-month period.

Because there is no fixed standard, publishers may define kvartalseid differently in their internal guidelines or advertising specs. When encountering the term, it is advisable to refer to the specific publication’s style guide or media kit for the precise meaning, size, and placement implications.
