This booklet pane of 18 Non-Denominated, self-adhesive stamps was issued because of a postal rate change that was scheduled to take effect on January 1, 1995. The black “G” on the stamp indicates it was printed by Avery Dennison. This printer also produced a self-adhesive pane for ATM machines. The stamps from this over-the-counter booklet were printed in five colors instead of three and are thicker. The paper is whiter, as well.
The United States Postal Service started selling the G rate stamps on December 13, 1994. This series was produced by more printers and in formats than any previous rate change stamps.
