paste up
Old typesetting method
Paste up is the process of assembling text and images on a board or sheet to create a layout for printing—a hands-on method largely replaced by digital design software.
As a noun, a paste-up is the assembled layout itself: The paste-up goes to the printer tomorrow.
The verb means to create such an assembly: We stayed late to paste up the newsletter.
