it really depends on how many envelopes you are ordering for your catalogs. if less than 1,000, then a professional printer will be pricey. the rubber stamp is a little ancient, though here are some cool ones you can customize: . you can also order mailing labels. here are some cute ones with a toy theme:

By the way, if you use Vistaprint, be prepared to be buried in junk email and constant sales phone calls. I recently bought some custom cards through them and had sales people calling me all the time and still get spam from them daily. FYI.

Hmmmmmmm, I'm going to answer this based on personal experience as a direct mail salesperson, rubber stamp dealer, and printing broker. I have found it is most profitable doing my own labels on my pc and printer because I can print out labels that are personalized, or add an advertising message below my address. I can change my personalizations or messages at any time without having to order and wait on a new rubber stamp or labels from a supply source. So, it's not a matter of cheaper, it's a matter of what makes the most money. Does it make more money testing and buying rubber stamps and print shop generated labels over and over again... or do you profit more from being able to have full control over changing that which does not work over to that which does? Example... You order a $30 rubber stamp or 1,000 labels at $40 with message on them and send them out... getting little response or sales. So what do you do to increase your bottom line? Purchase and wait for a new $30 rubber stamp to test out, purchase and wait for another 1,000 labels at $40 to test out... or do you make a quick change on your pc for no cost and print them out on your $5 box full of labels? Given the logical fact that the postage costs either way are going to be the same... what is going to prove to be most profitable to you? Ask yourself this question. Would you be more responsive to something arriving to you that was mass rubber stamped to any and everyone, or would you be more responsive to something mailed to you that the mailer took the time to personally address you with a targeted message? Hopefully this is helpful to you in some small way, and let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
