Spanish term

monográficos explicativos

Spanish to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general) Communication Plan
"Redacción, diseño e impresión de monográficos explicativos"

It's a stage in the communication plan to close a factory in South America. These 'monographs' take the form of bulletins that go out internally and externally to explain the reasons for the closure.

I thought of something like 'articles presenting arguments', but I'm sure someone can suggest something better! 'Monographs' sounds so wrong, so 'literal', although in other contexts it might be appropiate.

Thanks!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Difficult to choose as always but I like Marina's first answer because it leaves the physical format (leaflet, sheet etc) fairly open. It's a 'flexible' answer. As for 'supplement' I'd probably avoid it because it's more specific and may not mean that in other countries. Thanks to all of you!"

notices

I know it's short, but I think it says everything that needs to be said; "explanatory notices" sounds redundant to me.
