Default Insert value from another cell AND text

I have a list of several hundred zip codes in column A. I want to
insert text around them- before and after. It's the exact same text
for each cell. Anyone have an idea how this might work?

You could use a formula in a different column.

Example: In B1:

="text" & A1 & "text"

Then copy this formula down as needed.

You could custom format your column with this...

"Front Text "00000" Back Text"
