In late 2013 we needed to buy an address label maker to speed up fulfilment 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).
Follow the steps to learn how to buy a label maker that meets your needs. For the first step that you have to do is that you need determine if your label maker is for the professional or even personal use. If you use your machine for the personal use, you will decide that the cheaper one will be the best one, but if you buy it for your office and then plan in using it often, the more expensive machine with more options may be the great choice.
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.
Conclusion - As you can see there is a lot of variance in the features provided by different address label makers. Finding the best address label maker for your needs starts by determining the features that you require.
