On January 27, 2017, in Norcross, GA, the U.S. Postal Service® issued the U.S. Flag First-Class Mail® stamp (Forever® priced at 49 cents), in one design. The formats available were a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) booklet of 10 stamps (Item 674700) produced by security printer Banknote Corporation of America (BCA), a PSA booklet of 20 stamps (Item 672000) produced by security printers BCA and Ashton Potter (USA) Ltd. (APU), a PSA coil of 100 stamps (Item 749800) produced by security printers BCA and APU, and a PSA Automated Teller Machine (ATM) sheetlet of 18 stamps (Item 564400).
With the new U.S. Flag stamp, the Postal Service™ continued its tradition of celebrating patriotism with one of the most recognizable symbols of the nation. The stamp, sold in booklets of 10 and 20, coils of 100, and an ATM sheetlet of 18, featured a detail from a photograph of the billowing Stars and Stripes. Terrence W. McCaffrey was the art director of the project, and Greg Breeding designed the stamp with an existing photograph of the flag taken by Tom Grill.
