Question

How do I provide variable data (like unique codes) to be printed on my order?

Answer

Yes, 4OVER4 can print unique variable data, such as individual codes or names, on each piece in your run. The key is supplying the data cleanly and telling us exactly where it goes.

  • Submit your variable data as a CSV file alongside your print-ready artwork.
  • Specify precisely where and how the data should appear (for example, codes print in the blank space on the black side).
  • Make sure the number of rows matches the quantity you are ordering.

The support team confirms the setup is correct before production begins so every piece prints with the right data in the right place.

To set it up, place the order online as a standard product, add a comment in the order notes (cart, step 1) asking for variable data, and send the CSV to support with your order number so the team can adjust the price and add production notes. Mark which elements change, with the font, size and placement for the variable content. Fields can include names, addresses, ID numbers, sequential codes, barcodes and QR codes, and the team can keep data matched across pieces, such as names on cards glued to brochures. The team applies the data and posts a proof with the variable content in place for your approval.
