190 Tips & Info TIPS & INFO Variable data is when text or image on the product changes from sheet to sheet. This can include text, images, or sequential numbering (or a mix of all of them!). How to order products with variable data • Provide a mockup of the finished product. • Provide your art files matching templates provided online. • Provide a spreadsheet file (such as a CSV) that includes field headers like name, title, email, phone, etc. The spreadsheet file contains variable information required for printing on the product. For most product lines, Excel files (in CSV format) work perfectly. For variable images, include the names of the relevant image files in the spreadsheet and an image placeholder in the proof. Be sure to submit your image files along with the rest of the order. Variable Image orders require all files to be submitted and reviewed before a quote is provided. Variable data is not hard but it can be tricky. Contact us for support at any point in the process.

Setup charges cover basic file checks, including margins, bleeds, embedded/outlined fonts, and raster image resolution. NOTE: Add two extra production days for typesetting and design services.

For Enhanced Finishes orders, you have the option to order a press proof that will provide a small sampling of business cards, announcements, or postcards before committing to the design; call us for a quote. If your design needs adjusting, you can order another print piece with the new design. Digital Proofs Digital proofs are provided at no charge on all online orders. Digital proofs on manual catalog orders are available for $15.00 (R) each. For proofs that require typesetting and design, see “Art Charges.” This is NOT a press proof and is approximate color only. This proof should be used to evaluate copy, color breaks, and art/photo placement. Production time starts after proof approval.
