MACtac supplies pressure-sensitive adhesive label materials for
the Winter Holidays series.
With stamps featuring a reindeer, snowman, gingerbread
man and toy soldier, it's difficult not to become wrapped up in holiday cheer
this season as the United States Postal Service (USPS) issues its holiday
postage stamps – Winter Holidays. MACtac®supplied the pressure-sensitive adhesive label materials for the more than 1.3
billion 44-cent first-class stamps issued, available in booklets of 20.
The stamps feature a medley of holiday scenes to complement the upcoming
season. Stamps featured in the series include: a holiday reindeer decorated
with a red ornament; a classic snowman complete with top hat, coal buttons and
a carrot nose; a gingerbread cookie decorated with holiday icing; and a
nutcracker toy soldier. Each stamp is designed with snow flurries and holiday
borders, adding to the seasonal splendor.
“The holidays are a time for sending warm wishes to family and friends,” said
Allison Hazel, marketing manager, MACtac Printing Products. “Supplying the
adhesive for the Winter Holidays series allows MACtac to play a role in
observing a season that celebrates joy and love for so many.”
The Winter Holidays stamp series is artist Joseph Cudd's first Postal Service
stamp project. The designs were sketched by hand, and then finished with a
graphics tablet on a computer. Cudd created the stamp design with the direction
of Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, AZ.
