On June 15, 2020, in Liberty, MO, the United States Postal Service® will issue the U.S. Flag stamped envelope (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate).
A familiar sight on public buildings and private homes alike, the American flag has been portrayed in myriad ways on U.S. postage. This stamped envelope features a graphic design of the flag that evokes a rich sense of history even as it presents a recognizable icon in a fresh, contemporary way. Kit Hinrichs created the artwork for this stamped envelope. Ethel Kessler served as art director.
The water-activated gum (WAG) U.S. Flag stamped envelopes will be available in the following formats only through Stamp Fulfillment Services at usps.com/shop or by calling 800-782-6724:
