Dymo Label Printers and Consignment Software

Avoid the hidden costs of "cheap" hardware. While Dymo label printers may seem like a bargain initially, their expensive proprietary labels and high failure rates can drain your budget over time. Resell4.me is designed to work with reliable, industry-standard thermal printers so your tagging costs stay low.

Dymo printers may be unsuitable for shops that print many labels.

Our recommendation is the same as it has been for all hardware brought into a place of business: Avoid problems by using dependable equipment. We will say that while the Zebra 2824 and 2844 printers are compatible with Resell4.me, we don't recommend them either. Use label printers from TSC.

Dymo Printer User Comments

"We would like to use the Dymo 30252 (address labels) for barcode/description/pricing, and the Dymo 30299 (jewelry labels) for rings and smaller items. While the Zebra labels are a bit cheaper and more labels per roll, we chose the Dymo twin turbo 450 based on its' dual output capability, good reviews and low cost."

As a representative of a major label provider put it, "Please, for the love of GOD don't configure for DYMO printers!!! People buy Dymo printers all the time because they are cheap but they are SUPER easy to break and the labels are more expensive. We brought a couple in for testing and broke them both within 5 minutes of getting them out of the boxes. Dymo printers use special labels because of the feed mechanism so they CANNOT use the standard labels AND they take a much smaller roll than a standard label printer so the labels cost a lot more. None of the labels we make now that work with Resell4.me would work with the Dymo printers."

Here are specifics about label cost:

We see 10 rolls of the 30252 label for $187.90. That's 3500 labels or 5c per label. There is a similar label, 3.5 x 1.25, from Barcode Warehouse used with a Zebra or TSC label printer: 2000 labels for $22 or 1.1c per label. The cost of printing just 10,000 labels is $500 vs $110. 100,000 labels? $5000 vs $1100.

Dymo 30299 Jewelry Labels, 2 1/8 x 7/16: 10 rolls: 15,000 labels = $411.50 (Is there a better price?) Cost per label: 2.7c Barcode Warehouse Labels: 2.25 x .5 10 rolls: 25,000 labels = $180 Cost per label: .7c 10,000 Labels Printed: $274 vs $70 100,000 Labels Printer: $2,740 vs $700

This situation is reminiscent of those laser/bubblejet/inkjet printer manufacturers who sell very cheap ink printers, put little ink in the ink cartridges which don't last long and cost nearly as much as the printer!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Dymo label printers compatible with Resell4.me consignment software?

Dymo printers are not recommended for use with Resell4.me. Dymo printers use proprietary label stock that is significantly more expensive than standard thermal labels, they are fragile under business use conditions, and their feed mechanism is incompatible with the standard label formats Resell4.me uses. The recommended label printers are TSC thermal label printers, which use inexpensive standard-width label rolls.

Why are Dymo labels so much more expensive than alternatives?

Dymo labels cost approximately 5 cents per label (10 rolls of 30252 labels = $187.90 for 3,500 labels). Equivalent labels for a TSC or Zebra printer cost approximately 1.1 cents per label ($22 for 2,000 labels from standard suppliers). Printing 100,000 labels costs $5,000 with Dymo stock versus $1,100 with standard thermal labels — a difference that compounds significantly over the life of a shop.

What label printers does Resell4.me recommend?

Resell4.me recommends TSC thermal label printers as the primary choice. Zebra 2824 and 2844 printers are also compatible but are not the first recommendation. TSC printers use standard thermal label rolls available from multiple suppliers at competitive prices, and they are durable enough for business environments.

What does Resell4.me consignment software cost?

Resell4.me starts at $49/mo for the Essentials plan (or $1,470 one-time) and $89/mo for Professional (or $2,670 one-time). Plans are month-to-month with no contracts. The software works with TSC and other standard label printers using inexpensive thermal label rolls — keeping both software and supply costs low for consignment shop operators.

Can Resell4.me print barcode price tags on a standard inkjet or laser printer?

Yes. Resell4.me supports printing price labels on standard Avery-style sheet labels using any inkjet or laser printer, as well as on roll labels using thermal label printers. Sheet labels are the most cost-effective option for shops that do not need high-volume label printing, while thermal printers are recommended for shops that tag large quantities of inventory daily.
