Variable Data Printing (VDP)
Variable Data Printing also known as Variable Image Printing allows individual personalization of every single piece of printed material in a single print run; saving time and money. VDP allows for unique names, addresses, images, or logos to be personalized with ease and delivered to your customer with copy, coupons, and images that resonate with them. VDP and Versioning can be combined for an efficient effective Hybrid Printing process.
Versioning
Versioning is the process of taking a large print job and segmenting it into smaller groups that are different versions of the original. This is used frequently with consumer products that have an original flavor or scent and want the identical packaging with unique flavor identifiers. Versioning allows the printing of multiple pieces with different content, design and colors but unifies them with identical paper, ink, size, and finishing specifications.
