LetterSquares.com Announces New USPS Custom Postage 'Alphabetic Stamps'
August 09, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
In the spirit of the millions of square bumper stickers adorning the nation’s vehicles, LetterSquares announces the immediate availability of valid USPS postage in the form of alphabetic characters contained within a square solid field. Orders can be placed at www.LetterSquares.com.The entire 26 letter alphabet is available individually on sheets of stamps. Various keyboard characters are also available including an exclamation point, question mark, dollar sign, and pound symbol. Also, two "smileys" are available for the email-friendly generation.
Since these stamps are legal postage in the United States, there are no political messages on any the stamps. Consumers of this product may derive their own meaning from the lettering. Multiple stamps might be combined on letters and packages to convey additional messages not endorsed by LetterSquares. For instance, we imagine combinations similar to the following:
FSU = Florida State University
KU = Kansas University
TX = Texas
NO = New Orleans
NYC = New York City
ACLU = American Civil Liberties Union
DDG = Drop dead gorgeous
LOL = Laughing out loud
MD = Medical Doctor
SNL = Saturday Night Live
VC = Venture Capital
Individual sheets of stamps contain 20 stamps of only one letter per sheet. To derive combinations such as those listed above would require multiple purchases. HINT: buy postcard stamp denominations and combine for greater impact such as those shown above!
Postage stamps are available in various denominations per sheet of 20 stamps: $0.23 postcard stamps, $0.37 1oz envelope stamps, and additional denominations of $0.49, $0.60, $0.83, and $1.06 for heavier letters/packages. In addition, a $3.85 1lb Priority Mail stamp is available in a sheet of 20 stamps. Prices for the sheets range from $13.99 for postcard stamps to $18.99 for regular stamps and up for larger denominations.
In addition to the alphabetic stamp product offering, an entire line of apparel is available for each letter of the alphabet. Letters can not be combined on the same piece of apparel.
