Make Your Own
Postage Stamp
Better stop dreaming of seeing your face in a stamp because our
fully digitized world has made it possible for you customize
your previously ordinary stamp and make your own postage stamp.
Think about your personal computer, your Internet connection and
your digital camera. These are the tools that you will be
needing to master this craft.
The United States Postal Service has authorized an online
service called PhotoStamps which will be your friend as you make
your own postage stamps. Offered exclusively by Stamps.Com, the
PhotoStamps service is a way to make your personalized postage
stamps official so you do not only keep a collection of mini
artworks, but you are also able to use them in your actual
mailing needs.
By following three simple steps, you can make your own postage
stamp in a jiffy. First, you need to upload your digital image
at PhotoStamps.com website. Second, edit, resize, and customize
your image using the PhotoSmart program. After editing, you will
be prompted to input your desired specifications like image size
and denomination. Third, confirm your order and the amount of
stamps you need. The stamps will be delivered by traditional
mail within four business days after you have placed your order.
Of course, the fun and freedom that come with PhotoStamps must
not be taken for undue advantage. You need to be extra careful
in choosing the images (strictly no pornographic or copyrighted
images) that you put in your stamps as these would go, like any
other ordinary stamp, as far as you sent them through different
post offices.
