Variable Data Printing

Reach the right people with the right message – every time.

Variable Data Printing allows you to deliver accurate, customized communications tailored to each recipient.

Whether you’re sending financial documents, healthcare records, government notices, ballots, or personalized outreach for nonprofits and marketing campaigns, VDP ensures every piece reflects the exact data your audience needs—securely, efficiently, and at scale.

Why Choose Variable Data Printing?

Conditional Logic

Use intelligent rules to adjust text, layout, name, and address based on recipient data. This ensures every document is tailored to meet the unique needs of each audience, delivering maximum relevance and impact.

Intelligent Barcoding & Mail Tracking

Track each document’s journey from print to delivery using Intelligent Mail Barcodes. Gain full visibility of when items are printed, sorted, mailed, and delivered for better service and compliance.

Dynamic Multi-Page Printing

Automatically adjust document length and content based on recipient data, without manual intervention. Whether it’s a 2-page or 10-page packet, each print job adapts to the unique needs of every recipient.

Address Standardization

Verify and correct customer address data before printing using tools like CASS certification and NCOA updates. This ensures accurate delivery, reduces undeliverable mail, and improves overall ROI.

Variable Image & Brand Control

Swap logos, images, and messaging by audience segment while preserving brand consistency. This allows you to customize visual content for different markets without compromising on your brand’s integrity.
