Stamford, CT, May 15, 2006 –When the time comes to buy stamps
again, it won’t have to involve driving to the post office and waiting
in line. DYMO, the industry leader in on-demand labeling, is launching a
new program for time-pressed, small business owners interested in a
cost-effective, easy way to print online postage from the convenience of
their home offices. Following a successful soft launch, DYMO Stamps™
will be available in retail May 18 and provide a fast, easy way to click
and print postage with no long term contract or monthly fee.
DYMO has joined forces with Endicia, a leading supplier of online
postage solutions, to develop this revolutionary, new software. This
innovative service fulfills the promise of internet-based postage,
empowering users to print postage in seconds with a DYMO LabelWriter 400
Turbo, Duo or Twin Turbo® printer connected to their PC or Mac - without
the monthly fee commonly charged by other internet postage providers.
Account terms are subject to change and certain fees may apply in the
future.
“Many on-the-go people have already found DYMO Stamps™ and are saving
themselves time and money,” said Andrew Newmark, Sr. Vice President of
Business Development for DYMO. “People are spending less time driving
and waiting and more time on their business and with their families.”
These DYMO LabelWriters can also quickly print address and return labels.
Through DYMO’s postage partner, Endicia, time conscious individuals can
easily establish free DYMO Stamps™ online accounts to purchase and print
USPS®- approved postage with their DYMO LabelWriter 400 Turbo, Twin
Turbo or Duo. DYMO Stamps™ software is available free to current owners
of these models. DYMO Stamps can be used for first class, flat rate
Priority and one ounce international mail. Compact and easy-to-use,
these quick thermal printers eliminate the mess of ink or toner. They
are the next generation of DYMO’s popular PC and Mac compatible label
makers
LabelWriter printers are currently used by hundreds of thousands of
Americans for a wide variety of purposes. They are compact, fast – up to
40 labels per minute and can print more than 40 label styles and sizes
for envelopes, packages, files and more.
“With the launch of DYMO Stamps™, our goal is to offer an instant
solution to an ongoing need and make the weekly task of business and
personal mailings easier,” said Newmark. “When used in conjunction with
one of our LabelWriter printers, this service brings the mailing
solution into the small and home office and enables individuals to
