California Dogface 2019

• Authentic USPS Non-Machinable Surcharge Stamps: These USPS-issued stamps are designed specifically for non-machinable First-Class Mail – letters and envelopes that cannot be processed by automated sorting machines and must be handled manually. One stamp covers both the standard 1-ounce postage and the non-machinable surcharge in a single, convenient stamp.
• Timeless Investment: Like a Forever® stamp, this stamp will always be valid for the rate printed on it. Buy today, use anytime – even years from now when rates have gone up. No supplemental stamps needed for 1-ounce non-machinable mail.
• One Stamp, Full Coverage: No need to combine a Forever Stamp plus a separate surcharge stamp. A single Non-Machinable Surcharge stamp covers everything for a 1-ounce non-machinable letter – peel, stick, and mail.
• What Makes Mail “Non-Machinable”? Your letter requires this stamp if it has any of the following characteristics: – Square envelopes or non-rectangular shapes – Rigid, lumpy, or uneven thickness – Clasps, buttons, strings, or other attachments – Unusual dimensions (e.g., vertical orientation, oversized square envelopes) These items cannot pass through USPS sorting machines and must be hand-canceled, which is why the surcharge applies.
• Perfect for Wedding Invitations: Square envelopes, thick cardstock, ribbon closures, wax seals – wedding invitations almost always qualify as non-machinable. This stamp is the go-to choice for brides, grooms, and event planners.
• Premium Print Quality: Featuring stunning designs – including the beloved Butterfly series – these stamps add an elegant finishing touch to your special mail.
• Self-Adhesive Backing: Easy-to-use peel-and-stick design eliminates the need for messy glue or water activation.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Engineered to maintain integrity and appearance, even during extended storage.
• Lightweight and Efficient: Adds minimal weight while ensuring secure adhesion to all envelope types.
• Made in the USA: Proudly crafted to the highest standards of quality and authenticity.
• Eco-Friendly Production: Manufactured with sustainable materials and practices to align with your commitment to the environment.
• Great for Collectors and Everyday Use: The Butterfly series and other Non-Machinable designs are highly sought after by philatelists for their artistic beauty, while remaining fully functional for mailing.

Why Choose Non-Machinable Surcharge Stamps?

• Avoid Returned Mail: Without proper non-machinable postage, your special envelope may be returned or delayed. This stamp ensures your mail goes through smoothly the first time.
• The Right Stamp for Special Envelopes: A standard Forever Stamp ($0.78) is not enough for non-machinable mail – your letter will be returned for insufficient postage. This stamp covers the full amount in one step.
• One Stamp Simplicity: Instead of figuring out how to combine multiple stamps to cover the surcharge, just use one Non-Machinable Surcharge stamp and you’re done.
• Collectible and Functional: Butterfly designs, elegant artwork, and limited editions make these stamps a favorite among collectors – and they look stunning on wedding invitations and special occasion mail.

Important Notes:

• This stamp covers 1-ounce non-machinable First-Class Mail. If your letter weighs more than 1 ounce, add an additional-ounce stamp ($0.29) for each extra ounce.
• If used on standard machinable mail, the stamp is still valid but you would be overpaying – use a regular Forever Stamp instead for standard letters.
• Domestic U.S. mail only. International non-machinable mail requires different postage.
