 First
postage stamp issued: 1847
Twenty years ago, stamp
manufacturing in the United States was exclusively a government
function. In the early 1970s, the government leased several private
presses which were used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) to
print stamps for the Postal Service. However, these were not separate
commercial contracts for private-sector printing of US postage stamps.
In 1978, USPS had the vision to bring a modern entrepreneurial spirit to
the endeavor and issued a Request for Proposal for the commercial
printing and finishing of US postage stamps. Since this first contract
award, several comapnies have been extensively connected with the implementation of
USPS' alternative-source stamp manufacturing program. Over the years, USPS' vision has resulted in the reliable and
cost-effective delivery of innovative and high-quality products
