By 1994, self-adhesive stamps were here to stay. The first-such stamp was issued in 1974, but unfortunately, this "stamp of the future" was not technologically efficient to produce, and it would by 16 years before the next self-adhesive would come on the market. Within just four short years, however, these lick-free, tear-free stamps had become a significant part of the U.S. stamp program.
