Computer Stamps

Computer stamps are also known as computerized postage,  are made available by means of a type of electronic device. The electronic device will determine the amount of postage and print out the postage. An electronic scale is often used with this equipment to discover the package's weight to determine the amount of postage required.

Not only are computer stamps and computerized postage convenient, but they are also able to print the exact amount of postage due. This will avoid overpayment of postage, which often results from the use of stamps with specific denominations. The major disadvantage of computer stamps is they often become victims of the "trusted client" problem, or the client using the equipment in unauthorized ways.
