Fastest Way to Typeset and Impose Business Cards Using Adobe InDesign & Data Merge

[Mike the Print Man]

Hi Everyone.

I know a lot of folks know how to do this already, but here is a quickie on how to use InDesign Data Merge to quickly typeset and impose business cards. I also show how to use PDF Snake online to impose as well.

Hope you enjoy.

Did you mention... Data Merge > Create Merged Document ?

That's a nice feature to make it into an ID file that contains all the business cards/documents into one ID file that has individual pages of each item. This way, as you get future orders with minor edits to one or few cards, you can edit them directly.

Most certainly. Although i usually create proofs one up and then place into a spread for output. If I make edits it’s usually in the one up file.
