Shape Based Postage

Shape Based Postage

In May 2007, the USPS® announced a major structural change in its postage pricing system. "Shape-based" pricing, which takes into account a parcel or letter's size, thickness, and weight (instead of just its weight), is now the standard in pricing postage. How does that affect you if you've switched to a home-based, PC postage service? Unless you have software that takes into account these USPS® changes, you might have to take trips back to the post office.

However, if you have the DYMO Desktop Mailing Solution, the software that comes with it (or is downloadable from DYMO's website) has already been updated to adjust to the new shape-based postal regulations.

  • Measure the height, length, and width of your parcel or envelope.
  • Select the mail piece, class, and weight on the DYMO Stamps software screen.
  • DYMO Stamps software will print out the correct postage instantly


No more trips to the post office! Plus, unlike PC postage services, DYMO Stampstm doesn't have a monthly fee! Now all your mailings can continue to run smoothly from your home or office.
