Technical bleg: cheapest reliable postage label printer?

Is this expensive, for a postage label printer? Because $160 seems expensive. As in, actually out-of-budget expensive*. It’s going to be a lot cheaper for me to print out the postage labels on my own on regular paper and tape ’em to the envelope.

Thoughts?

*All the money’s getting reinvested into future projects. Although a label-maker may end up being a business expense, at that.

  1. My wife uses a regular laser printer for her business’s shipping labels using paper that’s got the peel-off sticky backing. That way, she doesn’t have a specialized piece of hardware that’s only used occasionally taking up extra space.

    1. I double-checked with her – she uses regular paper, not label paper. The label paper is for labels on the coffee bags.

        1. Regular paper here too … what you save on a dedicated printer you’ll eventually- like 3+ years – use in packing tape, but it’s the right way to start out.
