Businesses that send a lot of mail or people who simply do not want to make the trip to the post office can print stamps in the comfort of their own office or home. The United States Postal Service has approved several online sites to sell their home printing service. Printing your own stamps at home enables you to custom design the stamps and save trips to the post office and valuable time and energy. You can also print postcards, certified mail and delivery confirmation slips. Printing your own stamps simply requires a few moments at your computer, downloading software and familiarizing yourself with the system.
