# Is there a minimum order for variable data printing?

Minimums for variable data printing depend on the specific product you are printing rather than on the personalization itself. Variable data printing runs on digital presses, so there are no plate costs to drive up short-run pricing. Each piece can carry a unique name, address, or offer without slowing the run or raising the minimum. Even a run of 100 personalized pieces stays cost-effective compared with traditional offset methods.

Variable data printing runs on digital presses with no plate costs, so each piece can carry a unique name or offer and a run of 100 stays cost-effective.
