Variable data products (VDPs) may include business cards, note cards, invitations, or promotional flyers that you personalize by supplying data such as a name and address and/or by adding an image. The site provides the basic product (business card) and you personalize it.
Note: DSFdesign Studio products are another type of product that can be personalized; such products may also be available for order on the site.
Sometimes data that you can use for personalizing a product may be provided on the site. For example, an address book from which you can select contact information may be available. Sometimes you can create several versions of the same product, each personalized differently, for example, 500 copies of a promotional flyer, with each flyer addressed to a different prospect.
Different variations of VDPs may be available:
● Some products are personalized one at a time (as a "one-off," or to address a single situation). For example, you are an HR manager and need to order your company business card for a new employee. In this case, you customize the business card with the information for a single person. (This is also called a single-record order.) Depending on how the print shop configured the product, single-record VDPs may use Visual Product Builder or Classic Product Builder.
● Some products can be personalized several at a time. For example, your company opens a new office, and 10 employees need new business cards. In this case, the order includes 10 variations of the business card, personalized for each employee. (This is also called a batch order.) VDPs that are personalized in a batch use Classic Product Builder.
