Question

How do I submit a mailing list or data file for variable printing like inkjetting?

Answer

Variable data such as mailing lists and inkjet addressing is handled separately from your artwork. Instead of uploading it with your print files, send the data file by email so the production team can merge it correctly.

  • Save the list as an Excel spreadsheet (.xls or .xlsx) with one record per row and clear column headers.
  • Email it to customer support rather than attaching it to your uploaded art.
  • Put your order number in the subject line so it is matched to the right job.
  • Keep fields tidy: separate columns for name, address, city, state, and ZIP make the merge cleaner.

Double-check spelling and formatting before sending, since the data prints exactly as it appears in your file.
