This ATM vended 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 over-the-counter sale. The stamps from the ATM vended booklet were printed in three colors instead of five and are thinner. The white stripes below the field of blue have blue shading.
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.
