Magellan Receives PPAI Growth Award
We’re thrilled to share that Magellan Promotions has been recognized by PPAI (Promotional Products Association International) for outstanding growth in their recent report on top-performing companies in the branded merchandise industry.

Out of 15,000 member companies, we were among just 47 companies highlighted for an exceptional growth rate. From 2021 to 2024, our revenue grew by 88%, a milestone that reflects our team’s dedication, our strategic direction, and the lasting trust of our clients.

As we celebrate 20 years in business this year, this recognition feels especially meaningful. It highlights the work we’ve done to evolve from a promotional product provider to a true branded merch agency. One that’s deeply invested in helping our clients solve challenges, build community, and make lasting impressions.

We’re proud to be part of a fast-moving and resilient industry, and we’re honored that PPAI has recognized our momentum.

Thank you to our incredible clients, partners, and team members who continue to shape our journey. We’re just getting started.

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”
