Variable Data
Loyalty Cards & Key Tags
Variable Data printing using barcodes or numbering are just a couple of the options available for use on our Poly Laminate loyalty key tags.
What is Variable Data?
Variable Data is information that changes, or varies, on each unit of a production run. Variable Data encompasses graphics such as text and numbers, images, barcoding or a combination of them all.
Effective Use
Variable data personalization creates a more targeted tool for advertising…think ‘rifle shot’ and not ‘shotgun’ approach…providing the best possible return on your marketing investment.
Print Method
VDP or variable data printing is a digital, 4-Color Process imprint method utilizing the latest software and digital print presses.
Product Materials
Quikey manufactures a variety of products that are Variable Data friendly. Most products listed in this catalog as digital 4-Color Process printed can be Variable Data printed.
Variable Data eligible products
• Key Tags & Loyalty Cards
•Bag & Luggage Tags
•Event Badges
•Magnets
Event Badges
Variable print changes on Quikey event badges can personalize the badge to the recipient with text or numbering and provide group segmentation (staff, security, exhibitor, attendee or VIP) using varied graphic and color schemes.
Bag Tags
Variable Data print on Quikey bag tags may incorporate changes to logos, text or numbering on each tag, or set of tags used for corporate, educational or personal travel events.
Reference
Variable Data - Art Requirements
The first thing that is needed are the art files, preferably Adobe Illustrator or Acrobat, that will be used for the final piece and an example of how you want the final pieces to look. Variable text cannot be reduced or enlarged per entry. So set up the text using the longest variable piece of text in each place it is used. This allows us to make sure the variable text fits in the allotted area. If the text is too long to fit in the area it may be split into two lines, hypenated or dropped completely. It is entirely possible to let longer lines be split into multiple lines but there must be room in the layout to account for the extra lines. Also, variable text cannot change position, formatting or color. If there is an image variable such as a photo or the background changes that will need to be shown/called out on the art file. Letting us know the specific font(s) requested and sizing is helpful as well. If your variable data job contains a variable image, such as a background change or a photo, contact the factory for more detailed instructions.
The second thing needed is an Excel list saved in CSV format. The list should be set up with each variable as a column header, then the variables on down the list (see example). Set the entries in the case you would like the final pieces to be (UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case etc.). If you’re opting for special packaging, like in a specific order, the list needs to be in the order requested. If your variable data is consecutive numbers and/or barcodes there is no need to send a list. Give us the range of numbers you’ll need and the barcode format and we’ll set up the list. The most commonly used barcode format for variable data is Code 39.
Simple versus Complex Variable Data
Example of variable data art layout
Example of variable data list formatting
Simple variable data is defined as variable data on only one side of a product, all text variables the same size, color, format and location, any image variables are readily defined and sized correctly and the list is properly formatted. Complex variable data could have variables on both sides of a product, or have text variables change size, color, format or location and involve special packaging, etc.
Example of Simple Variable Data
Example of Complex Variable Data

Quikey’s 4-Color Process (CMYK) digital printing produces full-color graphics on multiple material platforms. While this method does not allow for exact PMS spot color matches, Quikey will simulate all PMS requests as closely as the process allows. Purchase Orders for the following One or Spot Color imprinted products must include a PMS spot color reference for the order process to commence - One Color Business Card and One Color Calendar Magnet. For these products, please select from the spot-color simulations below.
NOTE: Stock spot-color simulations shown at right may also be requested for use on any digital 4-color process printed item in this catalog. Actual color values may differ slightly from those shown here, depending on product material chosen.
Spot-Color Simulations - For products printed in Digital 4-Color Process
Reference Art Requirements
Spot Color-Screen Printing
Printing used exclusively on Soft Vinyl - Spot Color products. Print method relies on Vector Art files for graphics.
ACCEPTABLE FILE FORMATS
• Acceptable Art: Vector (only) image files
• Acceptable File Formats: Adobe Illustrator (must save as .ai or .eps or .pdf)
4-Color Process-Digital Printing
Printing used on Soft Vinyl - Full Color, Magnet, Poly Laminated, Acrylic, and ECO Coaster products. Print method relies on Vector and/or Raster Art files for graphics.
ACCEPTABLE FILE FORMATS
• Acceptable Art: Raster and/or Vector image files (resolution for Raster files must be 300 dpi at final print size, plus bleed if applicable)
• Vector File - Vector artwork files result in more accurate PMS color print simulations.
• Rastor File - Rastor artwork files are subject to CMYK reproduction only and inaccurate color matches are possible.
• Acceptable File Formats: .tif / .eps / .jpg / .bmp / .pdf / .psd and Adobe Illustrator (Files must be saved as .ai or .eps or .pdf, etc.)
Artwork and Print Standards
• Art On File – Please note that artwork will be saved for 3 years only.
artwork@quikey.com
• Use email address above ONLY for artwork files - not for POs
• All files should be compressed using Stuffit or WinZip to protect files from corruption
• Distributor’s purchase order number must appear on the email Subject Line to ensure that artwork is matched up to the PO correctly
• If emailing updated artwork for an open PO, subject line must include PO number and words “Revised Artwork”
• Clip Position – On key tags, the hole for the clip can interfere with important text or graphics. When creating art for key tags, take note of the clip position on the actual piece and account for the hole in the layout. This also applies to luggage tag straps and any hole punches.
• CMYK vs RGB – Monitors use the light spectrum to create Red Green Blue (RGB) color. Qukey’s 4-color process printing uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (CMYK) inks to create color. This color difference will often cause a visual difference between the monitor and what is actually printed. Convert all RGB artwork and images to CMYK to help lessen these color differences. You may need to make changes to the artwork after this conversion. Monitor calibration will also affect the appearance of colors.
• CMYK vs Spot Color (PMS) – Artwork sent in CMYK cannot be color matched. Every printer will interpret and print CMYK colors differently. If color matching is required, set up the art in spot color using the Pantone Matching System (PMS), and use the C (Coated) version of PMS colors. Note: Color match charges may apply.
• Copyright & Permissions – Using artwork and/or photos that you do not own the copyright to, or have permission from the copyright holder to use, is copyright infringement. Be sure you have the rights and/or permission to use all artwork and images in your art files.
• Flatten Transparencies – Postscript printers cannot always interpret transparencies causing them to print incorrectly. Drop shadows, clear areas in placed images and any change in opacity are read as transparencies by the printer. Flattening all transparencies will ensure proper printing.
• Fonts – Convert all text to “paths”, “curves”, “outlines” or “box” which makes them vector art. Or send the font files, making sure to include both screen and printer files.
• Halftones – Quikey’s screen printing process will only allow for a halftone range from 35% to 65%. Any halftone below 35% will burn out of the screen and not print and any halftone above 65% will fill in and print solid. Keep this in mind when designing for our screen printed products. The 4-color printing process is much more forgiving and will hold most halftones, but a recommended range is between 10%-90%.
• Imprint Placement – Keep all important print information 1/8” from edge of item. If imprint allows for bleed, continue art 1/8” past the edge.
• Overprinting & Trapping – Quikey will set all overprinting and trapping when necessary. Please turn off all overprinting in any art files sent to us, otherwise your final product may not print properly.
• QR Codes – Quikey can print QR codes on any product in our assortment. The minimum recommended sizing for a QR code is .75” on spot color printed items and .5” on digital printed items.
• Support Files – Be sure to include all support files for the job, including any linked artwork, images or fonts.
• Type Sizes – Minimum type size using a sans serif font is 6 pt. Minimum type size using a serif font is 8 pt. Thin type may break up when printing at smaller sizes, or in reverse print. Use bold, block type whenever possible for best appearance.
• Variable Data - See page 71 for more information.
