Quarterly Pack Self-Adhesive Die Cut Stamps
Single self-adhesive stamps from booklets are supplied in the quarterly pack collection. The booklets that are normally die cut only through the stamp are die cut through the stamp and the backing. The result is that the single stamp remains attached to a section of the front or back of the stamp booklet. This means that if there are 12 stamps in a booklet, 12 different single stamps have been created.
