Launch of DYMO Stamps™ - Offers Online Ease Instead of Post Office Line HassleStamford, CT, 4/3/2006
The new solution for printing fast, economical postage from a PC or
Mac
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 LabelWriter 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 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.”
