Address labels are quick, clean and easy – just peel off, and stick on the envelope. But there are times when you might wonder, which is really better in the long run? The kind of stamps I use are self-inking rubber stamps – the kind where you press down on the top, and the inked rubber gives an impression on the paper. This type is superior to the original stamps, where you have to use a separate ink pad, and re-ink manually for each impression. Between the two versions, self-inking or original, the self-inking stamps are far better, and so I will be comparing this kind to address labels. Since my dad sells both address labels and self-inking stamps with his company, KeepsakeMagic, I'm familiar with both products, and notice the differences in pricing, usage, etc. There are a lot of different prices for different kinds of stamps, and there are a lot of different prices for different kinds of address labels. To make a judgment between the two, I will use the pricing we have at keepsakemagic. $4.95 for 500 labels + $1.95 shipping So that would be $6.90 for 500 impressions/labels. And now for stamps. Again, I use the pricing I'm most familiar with, which is $9.90 including shipping (note: prices will vary between each company you buy from). When I asked our customer service rep about the stamps, she told me that each stamp pad has enough ink for about 1000 impressions. That many impressions is double the amount for address labels, at only Three Dollars More. But that's not the only good thing about going with the stamp. After those thousand impressions are up, and you're running low on ink, you can buy a replacement ink pad for a couple bucks ($1.95 to be exact, a little more if it ships by itself). The only way to get more impressions/labels with return address labels is to buy another set, which is going to cost you ______continued. Interesting article on postcard stamps 2009: Benefits Of Studying Stamps Before Purchasing Them Since there are many different tools for many different projects, selecting the right tool is necessary. There are more differences between address labels and self-inking stamps than just the price. If you pay more, you can get fancy labels to stick on wedding invitations or black-tie dining. You can also buy some cheap labels to stick on your income tax forms or your utilities bill. Return address labels are generally prettier and more colorful if you buy the high quality versions (which can be expensive) with monograms and pictures in the background. Stamps, too, come in different styles, but one thing stays the same, the stamp itself. The rubber will change depending on what you select, like the font and color for instance. They give a clean printed look which looks professional. Most businesses use self-inking stamps for this reason. So which is better? Although address labels seem cheaper (depending on the company selling them), and seem easier to use, when you compare the price to self-inking stamps by cost-per-impression, they are really more expensive (I have a chart on the next page to illustrate this more clearly). To replace the labels, you would have to buy another set, exactly the same price you paid before, but for the stamp, you only need to buy an extra ink pad. If you are looking to save money, I would go with the stamp. You get more impressions for your dollar than you get with address labels. But, if you want something fancy to put on your wedding reception invitations, there are a lot of colorful labels you can buy (although they can be expensive).And so on and so forth. Remember, the chart above is based on the pricing my parents use with their company, and can vary depending on the company you order from.
