October 2019 Mail Piece of the Month: The Commemorative Stamp

This month we focus on the use of large commemorative stamp to add a special touch to your direct mail campaign.

In 1893, the first U.S. commemorative stamps were issued. The subject, Columbus’s voyages to the New World, and size of the stamps were unique. Standard-sized stamps were too small for engraved reproductions of paintings that portrayed events connected to Columbus’s voyages, so the stamps were made 7/8 inches high by 1-11/32 inches wide, nearly double the size of previous stamps.

Over the years, commemorative stamps have been produced in many sizes and shapes, highlighting many interesting subjects. The large commemorative stamps can add a special touch to your direct mail campaigns.
