Multi-carrier software broadens shipping options while reducing label printing costs for users of DYMO LabelWriter 4XL

ATLANTA - DYMO Labeling, part of Newell Rubbermaid's Technology Global Business Unit (NYSE: NWL), now offers customers a broader range of shipping options, including UPS, through its new relationship with ABOL Software, a global software provider.

ABOL's Home & Office multi-carrier Internet shipping software - offered at no charge - enables small businesses to easily print free UPS shipping labels using the DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer. Customers of DYMO Endicia, a Newell Rubbermaid company that provides Internet postage services, may also print U.S. Postal Service shipping labels through the ABOL software.

The ABOL/DYMO relationship provides significant advantages for small businesses with a variety of shipping needs, especially those that ship with multiple carriers. Label printing cost varies by carrier - UPS labels may be printed for free, while FedEx, DHL and U.S. Postal Service labels require a small fee. Visit www.iabol.com for details.
