Printing stamps in PitneyShip, PitneyShip Pro, or PitneyShip Enterprise

You can print stamps on compatible postage sheets or on stamp rolls if you have a stamp roll printer.

Stamp Sheets: Stamps must be printed on compatible postage sheets, which are available in our online shop (item #SL-SPM11). Each stamp sheet has a unique serial number and contains 20 blank stamp stickers. The system keeps track of how many stamps you print with each serial number, so you do not have to use the entire sheet at once. Stamp sheet serial numbers are unique to each user and cannot be shared between different users.

Stamp Rolls: Stamps can be printed on stamp rolls using a Brother QL-800 printer or the PitneyShip Cube. Compatible postage stamp rolls are available in our online shop (item #SL-SPM12 for Brother QL-800 and item #SL-CB164 for PitneyShip Cube).
