Customized postage from the internet

All Deutsche Post customers can now select their own stamp from over 100 designs on the internet and print it out straightaway with the new, free-of-charge online service INTERNETMARKE. The INTERNETMARKE can be used to send both international and national mail.

"With the INTERNETMARKE Deutsche Post customers can create an eye-catching stamp and always have the exact postage at hand," explains Ingo Bohlken, member of the MAIL Germany divisional board. "The new product is a further link between the online and offline world and gives proof of the innovative energy of Deutsche Post."

Hobbies, favorite pets, business or colorful flower bouquets - the picture gallery offers a wide range of designs for a number of occasions or general everyday mail. The INTERNETMARKE draws attention and gives each item a personal touch.

You can order in three simple steps. Select the postage you need at www.internetmarke.de and choose your favorite design, then print it out and stick it on your mail immediately or use it later. You can print with a standard ink-jet or laser printer using either labels or paper.

Pay your order by online transfer (Giropay), PayPal or direct debit. The new service is free of charge. With the internet stamp you can frank international and national mail, postcards, national Infopost and Infobrief as well as smaller shipping items such as DVDs, CDs and books.
