In late 2013 we needed to buy an address label maker to speed up fulfillment in our home based EBay business. We very quickly became overwhelmed with all of the choices and features available. It was at this point we realised that there was more to address label makers than the best looking or cheapest. We needed to find the best address label maker for our situation.
Features -Software compatibility - An essential part of finding the best address label maker is ensuring that the compatible with your system. The first software compatibility check is to ensure that the printer is supported by your operating system (Windows/OSX/Linux).
Quality - As with any electrical product, quality is always going to be a concern. We have found the best way to determine quality online to check reviews and the brand. First of all the reviews will generally show if a product is exceptionally low quality because there will be an abundance of negative feedback. Secondly if you are able to find a big brand then you know they stand by the product. Big companies will usually also provide an extended limited warranty period as well.
USPS approved postage -If your business sends through the USPS then it will be important to ensure that the label maker supports printing USPS approved postage. One thing to watch out with this is that usually a label maker will only support one postage provider (stamps.com, endicia, pbSmartPostage, etc). So if you prefer one of the providers then it would be best to find a printer that supports that provider.
For the next step, you need to look at the size of the labels that you may use with every model. Most of the Dymo and also Brother Brand models normally use 1/2-inch to 1-inch label tape.
These kinds of models, just like as the Dymo Label Point 250 and also Brother PT1010, are the best for the single strings of letters. And other models will hook up to the computer and also allow you in creating the larger address labels and also postage stamps.
