Guidelines for Finalizing First Day of Sale and Special Dedication Pictorial Postmarks

To finalize the first day of sale and special dedication pictorial postmarks, insert the date and the city, state, and ZIP Code of the postmaster of the city where the event will be held within the postmark banner.

Customers desiring these postmarks should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the enve­lopes to themselves or others, and place them in a larger envelope addressed to:

Flags of Our Nation
First Day of Sale Special Dedication Postmarks
Postmaster
[Address]
[City, State and ZIP+4 (as reported on PS Form 413)]

After applying the postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes through the mail. There is no charge for the postmark. All requests must be postmarked by October 2.
