Question

How should I submit variable data and embossing information for credit card printing?

Answer

Embossed variable data is handled differently from printed artwork. Keep the numbers off the print file and supply them separately so they can be embossed cleanly.

  • Provide a mock-up that shows where the embossed numbers go, but leave the actual numbers off the print file.
  • Submit the variable data as an Excel or CSV file.
  • Note the number range, for example 0001-0250, in the order comments.
