United States 'Compare Rates' Postage Label

United States · 2024 · Variable Rate

This is a modern, digitally printed postage label from a service like Stamps.com. It is not a traditional postage stamp but rather a computer-generated indicium used for mailing, often featuring a barcode for tracking and processing. The design is purely functional, intended to show proof of postage payment.

These variable-rate postage labels represent the shift from traditional gummed stamps to digital postage solutions, allowing businesses and individuals to print their own postage from a computer.
