Dymo Corporation is an American manufacturing company of handheld label printers and thermal-transfer printing tape as accessory, embossing tape label makers, and other printers such as CD and DVD labelers and durable medical equipment.

The company is a subsidiary of Newell Brands.

Dymo Industries, Inc. was founded in 1958 to produce handheld tools that use embossing tape.^[1] The embossing tape and handheld plastic embossing labeler was invented by David Souza from Oakland, California.^[2]

The company was acquired by Esselte in 1978^[3] and battery-powered printers became a major product after 1990. The corporation was sold to Newell Rubbermaid in 2005.^[1][4]

Following is a list of the label sizes popular for their LabelWriter (400, 450) printer series:^[5]

The LabelWriter 550 and 5XL has a RFID reader that reads RFID tags embedded in Dymo genuine label rolls to automatically detect the label type inside.^[8] However, this is also to prevent the use of third-party compatible label rolls, a form of digital rights management similar to inkjet printer cartridges and laser printer cartridges containing a chip to prevent the designing and manufacturing of third-party cartridges. Dymo has received criticism for using a razor and blades model by forcing customers to purchase genuine Dymo label rolls.^[9]
