On June 7, 2025, in Three Oaks, MI, the United States Postal Service® will issue the U.S. Flag stamp (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 124200), a PSA double-sided booklet of 20 stamps (Item 685400), a PSA coil of 100 stamps (Item 741000), a PSA coil of 3,000 stamps (Item 752100), and a PSA coil of 10,000 stamps (Item 762800). This stamp will go on sale nationwide June 7, 2025, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue.
With this new stamp, the U.S. Postal Service continues its long tradition of celebrating the U.S. flag. The stamp features an image of Old Glory, fluttered by a breeze, against a bright white background. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp using a photograph by Doug Haight.
