CafePress.com announced today the release of 15,000-plus Custom Postage designs for sale in the CafePress.com Marketplace, and the beginning of an entirely new form of retail. Made possible through a partnership with Stamps.com®, the creator of PhotoStamps™ — the popular form of postage that lets consumers turn their digital photos, designs or images into valid U.S. postage. Custom Postage is the newest addition to the growing list of CafePress.com product offerings.
“For the first time in history anyone can design postage and make a profit,” explains CEO and co-founder Fred Durham. “Other companies have never offered quite the same opportunity to consumers or entrepreneurs. It’s a new form of self-expression, and a revolutionary new retail opportunity.”
Pets, original artwork, baby photos, military art and political images are among the 11 million unique products currently sold through the CafePress.com Marketplace. With more than 80 printable items including t-shirts, bumper stickers, calendars, baby bibs, messenger bags, the boundless imagination of CafePress.com Shopkeepers, and new designs added everyday there doesn’t seem to be a limit to the retail opportunities.
“With designs coming from all walks of life, we are the biggest customization Marketplace on the web. In one day we are releasing over 15,000 custom postage designs, it’s an incredible number. With our release today and the limitless imagination of our Shopkeepers, I can only imagine where this trend will go,” said co-founder Maheesh Jain.
Through the partnership between Stamps.com® and CafePress.com, Shopkeepers are able to create Custom Postage, which can be used as regular postage to send letters, postcards or packages, and are currently available for the most common mail rates in denominations ranging from $0.23 to $3.85. Each sheet includes 20 individual stamps. Customers can purchase Custom Postage through the regular CafePress order process at www.cafepress.com (or https://www.cafepress.com/cp/buy/custom-postage ).
