Launch of DYMO Stamps Offers Online Ease Instead of Post Office Line Hassle
The new solution for printing fast, economical postage from a PC or Mac
Stamford, CT, April 3, 2006 — Seven years after internet postage was
introduced, many small- and home-based business owners in the U.S. are
still standing in line at the Post Office to buy stamps, rather than going
online. With businesses looking for every way to increase productivity,
DYMO has created the most compelling reason for businesses to print
postage from their computers.
DYMO, the industry leader in on-demand labeling, has joined forces with
Endicia, a leading supplier of online postage solutions, to develop the
revolutionary, new DYMO Stamps. This innovative service enables businesses
to print postage direct from a DYMO LabelWriter printer connected to their
PC or Mac — without paying a monthly service fee. DYMO Stamps answers most
small business postage needs by printing First Class, Priority Mail,
Postcard, and International Airmail (up to 1 oz.) postage.
“What’s exciting is that DYMO Stamps will save small business owners time
and money by eliminating monthly service fees commonly associated with
Internet Postage, or the need to rent or lease a postal meter,” said Andrew
Newmark, Sr. Vice President of Business Development for DYMO. “It’s really
as easy as the LabelWriter itself. Pop in a roll of postage labels and open
up the DYMO Stamps software, select the postage you need, and print. It’s
fast, easy and cost effective.”
DYMO Stamps software works with DYMO’s high performance L abelWriter 400
Turbo, LabelWriter Twin Turbo and LabelWriter Duo printers, a series of
small, fast, and economical thermal printers that never require ink or
toner. LabelWriter printers are available through computer and office
superstores, catalogs and online resellers. Instructions on downloading the
free DYMO Stamps software are available at http://www.dymo.com/
LabelWriter printers are currently used by hundreds of thousands of
American businesses to print address labels for envelopes and packages.
They are compact and fast — about one label per second — and integrate
with leading software such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook.
“DYMO Stamps demonstrates the next wave of innovation that makes good on
our brand promise, ‘The Easier, The Better,’ helping people organize their
workday and improve their efficiency,” said Newmark. “With DYMO Stamps, our
flagship LabelWriter printers gain additional and unique functionality that
reaffirm just how important they can be to a small business.”
