USPS Forever Stamp Issue Years 2017–2026: What Bulk Buyers Should Know

Businesses that mail invoices, notices, fundraising letters, catalogs, and customer communications often purchase postage in predictable volume. When the goal is to source USPS Forever Stamps by the roll, issue year is one of the first details buyers should clarify with a supplier.

This guide explains the format used for our current Flag Design inventory, the issue years available for inquiry, and the practical checks that help a business place a clean wholesale order.

What is a Forever Stamp?

A USPS Forever Stamp is a First-Class Mail stamp designed to remain valid for a standard one-ounce letter even when the applicable postage price changes after purchase. For business buyers, the key operational point is that unused genuine stamps can be held as postage inventory rather than matched to one specific future postal rate.

Buyers should still confirm current USPS postage rules and applicable rate changes before mailing. A supplier should not represent a stamp as a substitute for checking the postage required for a particular mailpiece.

Why rolls matter for business buyers

A roll contains 100 stamps, which makes the unit easy to count, store, and allocate across recurring mail programs. Comparing suppliers by roll also reduces confusion when one quote is expressed in stamps and another is expressed in boxes or cases.

• Confirm that the quoted unit is one 100-stamp roll.
• Confirm the issue year or whether mixed years are acceptable.
• Request the total roll count, shipping destination, and estimated ship date in writing.
• Verify payment instructions independently before sending a wire transfer.

How our bulk pricing is structured

Our current wholesale quote framework is based on rolls, not individual stamps. The applicable tier depends on the total confirmed order quantity:

• 100–999 rolls: $49.20 per roll
• 1,000–4,999 rolls: $41.00 per roll
• 5,000+ rolls: $32.80 per roll

These prices are for quote planning and should be reconfirmed with current inventory, shipping, and order terms before payment.

A simple wholesale inquiry checklist

To receive a faster response, include your target roll quantity, preferred issue year, delivery ZIP code, desired timeline, and whether you can accept an alternative year. Businesses can also state whether they need a single-year lot or are open to a mixed-year allocation.
