NOTE: All the stamps listed here are valid only on the date generated. PC stamps with unrestricted validity, i.e. savable for future use, are more like traditional stamps than meter stamps and thus are not cataloged here. PC stamps with unrestricted validity are cataloged in USA: Variable Denomination Stamps (1989-2015) by Karim Roder (available on Amazon).
Group PC stamps can vary considerably in size, font styles, and color within the same stamp type depending on personal printer settings, available fonts, etc. Size variations or colors other than black are unusual but are user controlled variables.
The stamps are found on plain paper and adhesive labels depending on what the user has in his printer. Self-adhesive labels are sold by the various PC stamp companies and also by outside vendors. These labels exist both with and without fluorescent tagging. As with color and font, paper or label type is a user controlled variable, however to a great extent the parameters are set by United States Postal Service ( see: https://postalpro.usps.com/parcellabelingguide). It is recommended that the collector save the entire label.
PC stamps are often found in a frame at the top right of large address labels. To the left of the stamp is a smaller frame containing a large letter or number representing the class of mail. Codes found are: "1" (first class), "fcm" (first class), "P" (priority), "E" (express), "M" (media), "T" (parcel post), solid block (media, or other), "H" (Hazardous), "G" (Ground Advantage), "X" (Media). Not all the codes are found with all the stamp types that use the labels.
2-Dimensional barcodes occur in two major types and several subtypes:
PDF417 A horizontally stacked 2-dimensional barcode, each consists of 2 punctuators, 2 indicators and a variable number of data blocks.
subvariety PDF417(4) has 4 datablocks
subvariety PDF417(6) has 6 datablocks
subvariety PDF417(7) has 7 datablocks
subvariety PDF417(8) has 8 datablocks
subvariety PDF417(9) has 9 datablocks
subvariety PDF417(12) has 12 datablocks
Data matrix is a 2 dimensional barcode consisting of square or rectangular data blocks
subvariety DM-2H has 2 datablocks arranged horizontally
subvariety DM-2V has 2 datablocks arranged vertically
subvariety DM-4 has 4 datablocks arranged as a square
PC stamps on labels the sizes of which are recommended by the USPS, the sizes are 4 inches by 6 inches (FS) in two subvarieties, 4 inches by 4 inches (FF), 6 inches by 2 inches (ST), and a form for customs declaration included. Many illustrations in the listings are of size 'FS' but with only one or two of the 5 or six horizontal sections of the label.

NOTE: Several stamps in Group Q resemble stamps in Group PC. If you don't find what you are looking for here, check there.
Sub-group PC-A: Franks from E-Stamp software, ID numbers with 05#E prefix[edit | edit source]
All stamps have large, negative “e” logo at top right and "PDF417" bar code across the bottom with identification number at bottom right.

This too is an experimental stamp. It was first seen in live tests in and near Washington DC and parts of northern California. It was offered nationally in May 1999 but saw little use.
The stamp was used by two different systems, "Postage Plus" which used a live internet connection, and "PC Stamp" which downloaded postage credit into a rented hardware vault.
The design shows at top right two horizontal bars with "U.S. POSTAGE" above the top one and the town line below the bottom one. Between the bars at right are a torch-in-hand logo left of small "U.S. POSTAGE" reading up. Also between the ars are the class of mail, the value figures (centered), and the date.

Sub-group PC-C: Franks generated by software from Stamps.com (StampMaster before 1999), ID numbers with 06#S prefix[edit | edit source]
The first stamp design has a negative S in oval logo. All others contain stamps.com somewhere in the design. Some time after Stamps.com acquired Endicia in November 2015 (see Sub-group PC-E) the logo stampsendicia came into use.
The stamps are found both with and without a FIM barcode at upper left.
Mail classes found with PC-C stamps:
FIRST CLASS, FIRST CLASS MAIL, FCI (first class international) ♦

♦ Collectors should be aware that the primary mail classes are found in a multitude of variations. For example, FIRST CLASS can be found as FIRST-CLASS PKG RATE, FIRST-CLASS MAIL PARCEL, FIRST-CLASS PACKAGE INTL, USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL, etc.. We do not know them all. Please inform the catalog manager regarding something different ("Alan Knutson, boris1951@charter.net") if possible also include a scan.

Sub-group PC-D: Franks from Pitney Bowes software, ID numbers with 02#P, 02#W, or 07#P prefix[edit | edit source]
The earlier stamps show logos consisting of an eagle's head and wing. Later stamps are generic, text and bar code only, but most include "Pitney Bowes" in the design. One stamp, Type PC-D4, does not include the company name and is identifiable as a Pitney Bowes product only by the identification number with "02" prefix.
Identification number prefixes seen so far are 022P, 024P, 022W, 026W and 071P.
Pitney Bowes PC stamps began field testing in the Washington DC area in December 1998.
NOTE: Several stamps in Group Q resemble stamps in Group PC. If you don't find what you are looking for here, check there.

Sub-group PC-E: Franks from Envelope Manager (Endicia) software, ID numbers mostly with 07#V prefix but also 07#M, 07#S, and without ID number[edit | edit source]
All the stamps have a generic design, bar code and text. The earlier stamps include "endicia.com" in the design and later ones are identifiable only by the identification number which is most commonly 071V although 071M and 071S are also found. An exception is Type PC-E2.2, Sub-type A, which does not show an identification number.
When first released (February 2001) the system was labeled by Indicia as "DAZzle 2000".
On November 18, 2015 Stamps.com (see Sub-group PC-C) acquired Endicia.
NOTE: Several stamps in Group Q resemble stamps in Group PC. If you don't find what you are looking for here, check there.

Sub-group PC-F: Franks generated by EasyPost software, with "easypost" in the frank;font-size:144%;">{{{1}}}[edit | edit source]
EasyPost is a software company that provides companies with integrated shipping options through USPS and several private carriers.

Sub-group PC-G: Franks generated by U.S. Postal Service software, without a vendor's identification number.[edit | edit source]
These stamps are a type of Post Office stamp (Group PO) but because they are generated online at the Postal Services's web site, they are listed here..

PC-G1. (digital), 2021 but possibly earlier.
The stamp is a large tracking label similar to Type PC-C5.1 with the USPS logo and "Click-N-Ship"® in the top panel. The postage part of the label is immediately below and at right.

Sub-group PC-H: Franks generated by Francotyp=Postalia software, with "FP" logo in the frank[edit | edit source]
Francotyp-Postalia first entered the U.S. postage meter market in 2000. Only one stamp has been reported so far, and it is dated from 2019. Earlier dates are likely.
The status of this item has been questioned, more information or scans would be important to have, please reply to editor.
PC-H1. "Francotyp-Postalia" (digital/thermal), 2019 but probably earlier.
The one stamp reported appears on alarge address label with the top (postage) section containing a PDF417 barcode.
Above the barcode are, at left: the value figures and date, at center: the FP logo, and at right: US POSTAGE, Mailed From [5-digit ZIP code], and the identification number with 032A prefix.
ComBasPrice appears below the date on this stamp.
The stamp is in a frame with large mail class indicator at left and the class of mail spelled out below.
V/F: $ (00)0.000
Franks with "E-postage" or variant in the frank[edit | edit source]
Shipping labels with E-Postage, ePostage, ePOSTAGE and other variants in the frank were first reported in 2011. They are used by online commerce companies with business volumes large enough to justify special arrangements with shippers such as USPS, FedX, and UPS.
E-Postage is a program developed by USPS to accommodate the growth of ecommerce. Online merchants such as Amazon and Etsy use ePostage. In 2016 new company Shippo began operation as a shipping aggregator offering ePostage to any business.
The stamps appear to be more like "post paid" permit stamps rather than metered mail but are shown here until we determine their exact nature.
The stamps are found only on address labels with the top section having an enclosed mail-service letter at left and a frank box at right above a panel containing the mail class.
The central section contains the return address, date, and addressee.
The stamps show no value figures or identification number.
The labels do include a tracking bar code and number.
So far they have been found in two general formats:
- With single-line border surrounding the complete design, printed on label 135 mm tall
- With no outer border, printed on smaller label, 115 mm tall
Known variations:
- Mail class appears in the frank box
- Incomplete box around mail-service letter at upper left
- Mailer's name repeated at top outside the frank box
- "ComBasPrice" appearing left of the frank box
NOTES:
Merchants have some control over the appearance of the stamp. The e-Postage designation is found in different fonts. The frank box is found in a variety of sizes with contents left justified or centered.
When inaugurated in September 2011 only certain mail services were available through e-Postage system: Express Mail, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail parcels, Package Services (except Library Mail), and Parcel Select bar-coded non-presort.
What is common to all e-Postage stamps is that the frank box contains e-Postage (or variant), U.S. POSTAGE PAID (or variant), and the mailer's identification.
