Question

What file format should I use for merge data when ordering personalized prints?

Answer

Personalized or variable-data prints pull from a data file, and CSV is the format to use for merge data.

  • Provide your merge data as a CSV file.
  • Include exactly the fields you want printed, such as names and addresses.
  • Keep one record per row with a clear header for each column.
  • Match the fields to the placeholders in your print-ready document.
