Personalized printing combines high tech print innovations to deliver completely customized marketing that’s unique. You can insert your target’s name, address, age, hair color – anything you know about them – right into the text of a printed piece. That personalized piece can be a postcard, poster, note card, envelope, brochure, buck slip, flyer, catalog and more.
Changing out names and addresses is child’s play; Printing for Less can go much further. Variable Data Printing is the technology we use that allows you to change background images, colors, artwork and text based on different triggers.

Variable Data Printing on Postcards
Postcards are a tried and true marketing asset and when you add scalable personalization they become a powerful engagement tool. Postcards are the do-anything, go-anywhere printed piece. They’re the right size to hold and pass around, so they benefit from adding a soft touch coating or special effect that engages the tactile senses.
Using variable data printing (VDP) to personalize a piece engages the mind as well. People are more likely to respond to a personalized message. So how can you personalize a postcard? Well, any way you want, really.
Customized Postcards Are the Perfect Fit
Postcards are the perfect size for holding and sharing. Postcards are easy to use as mailers, include with a gift, or give to prospects at an event. Personalized postcards are even better. Here’s how some of our customers are using VDP to personalize their postcards and accelerate their marketing.
- Change images and backgrounds to appeal to different demographics, age groups and income levels among your customers.
- Apply discount codes based on customers’ birthdays or anniversary dates.
- If you have multiple locations, show the business address that is closest to the recipient.
Personalization Options
We work with you to figure out the best way to personalize your postcards using customer data. You can add in a customer’s name, birthday, address or just about any data you have on them. But don’t stop there! Change out images, backgrounds, copy and more, all based on customer data.
Different age groups respond to different messages, so why not swap out the background image on your card so it makes more sense? Create a birthday note and coupon – send it all in the mail (postcards are perfect for use as a self-mailing printed piece).
