How to Store Forever Stamps

Forever Stamps are designed for long-term use when they are genuine, unused, undamaged, and properly stored. Good storage helps keep stamp adhesive, paper, and printed designs in better condition until you are ready to mail letters or cards.

Storage Tips

  • Keep stamps dry and away from moisture.
  • Store sheets flat so they do not bend or crease.
  • Avoid heat, direct sunlight, and humid areas.
  • Keep stamps in their original sheet or protective folder.
  • Do not place heavy objects on top of stamp sheets.

If a stamp becomes torn, heavily creased, wet, dirty, or damaged, check whether it is still acceptable before mailing.

Planning Ahead

Many customers keep stamps on hand for greeting cards, invitations, invoices, announcements, holiday mail, and unexpected letters. If you mail regularly, browse Forever Stamps or All Stamps for designs that fit your needs.
