Printable baby gift card

LOS ANGELES -- Avery Fun Stamps(TM) offer the newest twist on holiday greeting cards. From photos of the new baby to the family hound, a personalized stamp will move your card to the top of the pile and make the envelope a keeper.

With 20 billion pieces of mail moving coast to coast this holiday season, a custom designed Avery Fun Stamp will not be just another stamp in the crowd.

Now that a digital camera and computer are in almost every home, consumers have more opportunity for expression and creativity with personalized Christmas cards and photo-related gifts this year than any preceding holiday season. Where previously cards were the personal work of art, now the postage stamp itself conveys a thousand words.

From Avery Dennison, the sticky experts, the new online postage label design service allows anyone to personalize official U.S. Post Office postage by simply going to www.funstamps.com, selecting the official postage stamp offered, attaching your own jpeg or pdf photo and placing your order. Orders are typically processed and shipped within seven to ten days via First Class Mail. Each sheet contains 20 personalized postage labels featuring a professionally printed, high-quality image of the selected photo next to an affixed official U.S. postage stamp -- all for only $19.95.

"Don't forget those letters to Santa. Your personal stamp will stand out in the bags of mail delivered to the North Pole, putting you at the top of his list," advises Mary Veiram, chief of the elves workshop at Avery Fun Stamps.

"People are particularly interested in using Avery Fun Stamps for the holiday cards they send, but we think people will find that Avery Fun Stamps are a terrific holiday gift for college students, grandparents and even that person on your shopping list who has everything," added Veiram.

Brides were among the first to use Avery Fun Stamps when they were launched earlier this year. It is common for today's brides have multiple mailings. Many are creating defining moments by personalizing every envelope with a different Avery Fun Stamp from the engagement party announcement to the wedding invitation and thank you note.

There is only one real expert when it comes to sticky products and labels: Avery Dennison, the trusted provider of adhesives and printable supplies for more than 70 years.
