Endicia stamps are available in two different orientations - landscape and portrait, with one size for each orientation. The catalog pages are arranged by orientation, printing variety and tagging variations.

Stamps created by Endica exist in three different products:


PictureItPostage
PictureItPostage stamps are the basic stamp offered by Endicia. They are identified by the words "www.endica.com" in the colored frame surrounding the denomination and control number.

myartstamps.com

myartstamps are are identified by the addition of "www.myartstamps.com" to the basic PictureItPostage stamp at the bottom of the design area.

 

Xpress It Postage
Xpress It Postage stamps can only be identified by their design images.
 The catalog information can be accessed from the vendor list

 or from links under applicable Endicia types.

 

For Xpress It Postage the basic catalog number is modified by  the addition
of a superscript number preceding the the stamp vendor letters.

For Xpress It Postage the modification looks like 3EN
