Variable Data
  • Variable Data Specifications


Available for an additional charge (except where noted) and may require additional production time, based on the specifics of your order.

VARIABLE DATA PRINTING:
A form of digital printing in which elements such as text, graphics, photos, barcodes, numbering, etc. may be changed from piece to piece without stopping or slowing down the printing process. Available on all digital print products. Submit copy in an Excel or CSV file.

NUMBERING:
We recommend a block style font (We use Arial) in a minimum of 8 pt. Copy will print in black ink.

PACKAGING:
Sequential numbers, etc. will be packaged in order. Non-sequential files are randomly packaged.

DATA MAP LAYOUT:
ID Badges generally have multiple "variable fields".
Please instruct us where to print each field by providing us with a "Data Map".

Why do I have to provide a "Data Map"?
In the Excel data file, each column has a "header name". Many times ADDITIONAL information (extra columns) are included in the data file that do not print on the card. Other times the column header name is unusual and not clear where it should print. The "Data Map" ensures we print everything exactly where you want it to appear.
