Variable Data Publishing

Focus on your customers’ interests – individually

Grow your business and ensure your customers’ loyalty

As a print service provider, you constantly have to grow your business and ensure your customers’ loyalty. At a time where printing services are readily available and more comparable than ever, how do you differentiate in the hard-copy printing market? And how do you retain your customers?

What is variable data publishing?

Variable data publishing, printing or VDP, is a hugely valuable solution for commercial printing and graphics companies who rely on the professional look and feel of finished products and the revenue-generating benefits it can bring to their business.

Quickly plan and execute print jobs

Customer data can be easily integrated with document design without the need for scripting or programming. A huge variety of data, including text, graphs, colour with industry standard barcodes and personalised images can be incorporated into a mail merge or other volume print job quickly and easily.

Convert multiple files into print-ready layouts

Planning production solutions that let commercial, packaging and publishing print companies convert multiple files into print-ready layouts makes it easier for designers to create and change impositions, including:

Intelligent layout automation
Step-and-repeat templates
Drag-and-drop functionality

Konica Minolta’s VDP solutions also personalise marketing documents using clever templates and guides to create flyers, direct-mail cards, certificates and awards, and come with step-by-step instructions as to how to modify templates using information in an Excel database.

Intuitive solutions that will save you time and money

Using the latest technology, Konica Minolta’s VDP solutions can intelligently read data and decide automatically whether marketing materials can be emailed rather than posted, saving companies’ time and money.
