PACKAGE FOR SPECIAL POSTAL ISSUES AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A package and a process for making the package wherein a first-day, first-issue postage stamp is enclosed within an envelope having outer panels with one or two apertures aligned with a recess in a stamp holder which secures the stamp. Transparent stamp shields preferably cover the stamp's obverse and reverse faces and close the envelope apertures. A like stamp is affixed to the envelope exterior and is processed through the mail such that date and place indicia are stamped on the envelope and cancel the exterior stamp. Preferably the inner stamp holder is an extension of the obverse and reverse walls of the envelope.
