Award-winning company culture

We’re excited to share that Magellan Promotions has once again been honored as a winner of the PPAI Greatest Companies to Work For award in 2024. This recognition, awarded for the second consecutive year, highlights the growing number of companies in our industry that prioritize strong workplace cultures and employee well-being. As Josh Ellis, PPAI Media publisher and editor-in-chief, noted, “It’s a testament to how many of our member companies are truly investing in their people and workplace environments.”

What makes this award particularly meaningful is that it’s based on direct feedback from our team, reflecting their confidence in Magellan’s direction, values, and the benefits we offer.

This achievement comes on the heels of another exciting milestone: being named one of BizTimes’ 2024 Future 50 winners. Together, these accolades affirm our ongoing commitment to excellence in expertise, partnership, innovation, and creativity. We’re incredibly grateful to our clients and partners for their unwavering support.

At Magellan, we believe our culture is the foundation of our success, and our team’s dedication remains our greatest strength. This is what makes ours an award-winning company culture.

Variable Data Best Practices

  • At the quoting stage of your project, please let us know how many fields of variable data your piece will have as this can affect pricing.
  • Data should be provided to us as an Excel spreadsheet with only the applicable data included.
  • Verbiage for variable data fields on artwork file should match up exactly with data fields on spreadsheet.
  • Spacing on artwork must allow for longest data entries. We recommend that your designer tests this in advance to confirm that the fields in the design can fit your longest pieces of data.

Postage Permits

We are happy to mail using a client’s USPS non-profit number. Here are a few best practices for this to go smoothly. Let our team know up front on the project so we can make sure to get the information we need right away. 

While our mail house does prefer to use their permit number for the mailing, we can use the client’s permit, If using their permit number, ensure there is enough postage to cover the mailing.

The information we need to in order to use a client’s nonprofit number includes the following:

  • CRID (customer registration ID)
  • Non-Profit Authorization Number (with USPS, not their nonprofit number for the university)
  • Non-profit indicia
  • Return address that is on file with USPS for the non-profit authorization number
  • Permit number

Formatting the Mailing List

Our account team will advise on specific requirements for your project’s mailing list.  We generally recommend these best practices to format the mailing list:
  • Send your data in a spreadsheet, saving it in the comma-separated values (CSV) format
  • International addresses must be separated from domestic addresses
  • Domestic addresses should at least contain data fields for “first name”, “last name”, “address 1”, “address 2”, “city”, “state” and “ZIP code”
