Stories about the Postcrossing community and the postal world

Blog > A new Postcrossing stamp… from the USA!!!

  icon

HURRAAAAAAAAAY!!! We’ve been waiting a looooong time to share this news: the United States Postal Service is issuing some shiny new Postcrossing stamps! Woohoo!

It’s been a long road to get here: many of you have written to the USPS Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee over the years to ask for a Postcrossing stamp, and we’ve also been working with USPS behind the scenes for quite a while to make this happen. It’s finally happening, and what a huge honor it is for the community. A proper celebration of the joy, generosity, and curiosity that postcrossers put into the world every day.

Sheet of four colourful triangular “GLOBAL/POSTCROSSING/FOREVER” USA stamps forming a square shape, with playful scenes (astronaut, cyclist, diver, and cowboy on horseback).

Anyway, let’s talk about the stamps themselves… because: TRIANGLES! 😍

The new Postcrossing stamps are triangular, which is a pretty rare format for USPS. And yes — that means you can place one right on the corner of a postcard for an especially cool look. Since there are four different stamps to choose from, you won’t always be sending (or receiving) the same ones. These are global forever stamps, which means they are the international postcard (or letter) rate, and you need one single stamp to send a postcard abroad.

Visually, they’re a lot of fun: bold colors and playful scenes with lots of tiny details. They were designed by Antonio Alcalá and illustrated by Jackson Gibbs, and the result is energetic, bright, and unmistakably Postcrossing.

Mock-up of four postcards, each with a colourful triangular Global Postcrossing Forever stamp placed on a corner.

The launch day is May 26, 2026, and there will be a commemorative ceremony at the the Boston 2026 World Expo — and everyone’s invited! Even better: there will be Postcrossing meetups every day of the show (which is free!), so bring postcards, say hi, and let’s celebrate together. No worries if you can’t make it to Boston — like any other USPS stamps, these will be available online and at post offices around the country.

We’ll share more details (including meetup info and other products that will be available along with the stamps) as we get closer to the date. But for now, we’re just going to sit here grinning at these gorgeous triangles for a while.

USA postcrossers: are you ready? And everyone else: who’s hoping to receive one of these on a postcard very soon?

Why is the word "forever" crossed out?

on
meiadeleite, Portugal

@Gaiasduhter So that people don't take these images and "print" fake stamps 😅 The real stamps won't have the word crossed out.

on
Seracker, Singapore

I need them, pronto!

Yay to everyone who wrote in to the authorities asking for a Postcrossing stamp 😄

@bunnywithatoolbelt I don't know yet, but I will ask! :)

This is awesome! I never thought the USPS would release Postcrossing stamps, but I am glad that they did. I look forward to adding these to my collection of stamps that I use on my postcards.

on
peekintothepostbox, United States of America

How exciting!!! I'm so glad that the persistence has paid off! Can't wait to stock up on these.

on
Brooks_of_Sheffield, United States of America

Amazing! I wrote the advisory committee a couple years ago about a Postcrossing stamp and received no response. Glad to learn that they were listening to us after all!

on
hjbcats, United States of America

So so happy!!

on
theadventuringheidi, United States of America

I’m guessing global forever rate? This will be so nice! I take up so much room using multiple stamps to avoid the round globals that everyone seems to hate :D

on

I don't think we could have dreamed up a more perfect Postcrossing stamps for the US. GREAT NEWS!!

Lovely! 🥳🎉👍🏻

Beautiful stamps! I'm glad to see your date stamp says 31st March! I'm reading this on 1st April, and I thought you were pulling our collective legs!! 🤣

Wow! Very nice! And there's even one with a motorcycle! Great!

on
Tur, United States of America

Are these going to be Global Letter Forever, or cheaper Global Postcard Forever?

on
Amygdalala, Germany

Oh wow, thank you for this interesting information! The stamps look gorgeous, really!!! It will be so much fun to send or / and to receive it!

on
meiadeleite, Portugal

@Tur The US does not have a global postcard rate, so these are for international letters and postcards both.

on
alliekitkat, United States of America

I'm so excited! These are beautiful! YAY! Congrats to all involved to make this happen! :D

on
vw08, United States of America

So exciting! I am really surprised that this is happening! Perfect time to release it as the World Expo. These will be fun to send and a nice change from the round forever international stamps that have been issued for the past few years.

According to the release "These stamps will have a postage value equivalent to the price of the single-piece First-Class Mail International first-ounce machinable letter at the time of use"

on
calicos, United States of America

Whoa, how cool! So exciting to have a Postcrossing stamp available here soon and love that it’s triangular, that’s so fun!

on
HookedonPostcards, Canada

Congratulations US Postcrossers for achieving success with a campaign that you ran for such a long time. Well Done!
I will admit to some stamp envy! But, that will be cancelled as soon as I get my first USPS Postcrossing stamp on a postcard. :-)

on
Bossmare, United States of America

I wonder if they will do a domestic one too since those are for international mail. Woo Hoo!

on
Mrkenman, United States of America

I wrote to the USPS last fall and got an answer that they were working on it but were very non-committal. I'm so happy to see this and can't wait to start sending them to my Postcrossing friends everywhere!

on
eat_lift_hike, United States of America

This has been a long time coming! Many letters, postcards have been sent to get to this point and I appreciate that Postcrossing has been working behind the scenes to make this a reality! Finally, some good news for American snail mail lovers. Not sure this is enough to keep USPS solvent but we will keep trying!

on
DianaIrony, United States of America

Proof that anyone can make a difference… I’ve seen many people campaigning for this even though Ive only been on here for less than a year!

on
sumares, Puerto Rico

I recently listened to the “Mailin’ It” podcast about upcoming stamp releases. Although design subjects were not revealed, it was hinted that an interesting shape would be revisited. In my philatelic mind, I guessed “triangle” … and I’m right!

on
christelvonderpost, United States of America

called my local post office to make sure to order me 100 to start $1.70 a piece so must save up by May 26. a retired postal employee I have been writing requesting them for almost 13 years

on
jjmedusa, United States of America

I don’t understand - are these only going to be available at the Boston Expo? Why won’t they be available at regular U.S. post offices? Not all of us can go to the expo. I really don’t want to miss out on these stamps.

on
meiadeleite, Portugal

@jjmedusa They'll launch in Boston — but they'll be available everywhere where stamps are sold. :)

on

Congrats on getting it done! I’ll be at Boston 2026 for the First Day of Issue.

Very nice. Congratulations to the artist and designer.

on
Kristi-D, United States of America

How great that the U.S. is finally doing this! We'll still need multiple stamps if we want to use them for global, which make up the majority of the postcards we send, but we'll be able to use two of these fun stamps as part of that.

on
Catlover2120, United States of America

I'm planning to attend the Expo later in the week. (Rats!) Do you know if USPS will continue to have the Postcrossing stamps available for purchase in the days after the ceremony? Is there a way you can find out?

on
CStar9, United States of America

I’m so excited about this! People may be interested to read about the designer, Antonio’s work and his once-upon-a-time history as a Postcrosser :) in this interview I did a while back.

Excellent news. Can’t wait to get some.

on
Kamara, United States of America

I feel like this is the first day of Advent and I’ll be counting the days until May 2026 (it will feel like Christmas when the stamp is issued).
Thanks to Postcrossing leaders and members who helped bring this stamp to fruition.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! 💌

on

I’m thrilled!!! Can’t wait to get the stamps once they’re out. The look so nice! I love the astronaut one, hahah! I’ll think I make it my personal official stamp.

I'm so excited! I've always wondered when our day would come. Not only did we finally get a new Colorado postage stamp this year, but now a Postcrossing one, too!?!
The USA needs every happy perk we can get these days, so THANK YOU TO USPS! 😘

on
LeilaKewl, Philippines

The campaign has worked!!! Hurray for USPS and American postcrossers!

on
LittleBrownCat, United States of America

Woo-hooo!!! This is so exciting! I will be buying several sheets. Here's a tip for my U.S. friends: Order these online at usps.com. Use the "Buy Stamps" under the "Quick Tools" tab at the top of the page. I work for the USPS, and I learned long ago how quickly stamps sell out at post offices. Some smaller post offices don't even get some releases. Start checking about 30 days prior to the release date for pre-sale ordering. :-) And if you find a stamp design that you love, buy a lot of them, because once they're gone, they're gone.

on
peesnpikuhlzz, United States of America

Woohoo!! 🥳

on
dkalcorn, United States of America

Just a note to all fellow US Postcrossers: You will be able to pre-order these stamps on the USPS website (https://store.usps.com/store/home) as soon they are on the website, which is normally a few weeks prior to release. They will not ship, however, until the day of issue.

on
bigskycrafter, United States of America

Finally hoooooray! So happy and can't wait to stock up on these fun stamps. Love the designs and shape.

on

jm143, United States of America

On the Postcrossing Forum, I shared my reply letter from the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee back in September 2024 that they'd decided to issue such a stamp. I've been eagerly awaiting the design and I'm not disappointed. So glad they're Forever globals because I'm going to buy enough to last me a looooooong time!

on
Kristi-D, United States of America

Oh, thanks, I see the Global marking, now.

on
NZSunshine, New Zealand

Thanks to the Postcrossing people that had a message on their profile asking for 'us' to write to USPS. I did and now the stamps have come. Awesome. Thanks USPS and a special Thank You to those Postcrossers who will send these out on their postcards. I do hope to receive some of these. I love the space one! Brilliant. And such gorgeous artwork.

on
Wynnie, United States of America

I'm so jazzed! I only just picked up some triangular stamps at a stamp show last weekend (32c Pacific from 1997). Since I have personally pestered the USPS 2 or 3 times for this, I couldn't be happier. I'll be checking the US Postal Service website regularly now for these - can't wait to see them!

A most exciting discovery! triangle stamps will be so much better than circles (as much novelty as the circles were for a while)

on
dana_lu, United States of America

I just received a postcard two days ago that had a postcrossing stamp on it. I wrote, "I hope some day I'll be able to send a postcard from the US with a postcrossing stamp." May 26th it is!!

on
Bashirsmomma, United States of America

Are they forever stamps? I mean, yeah!!, but... stupid too. For international do we need two, plus an extra ounce one? If they were designed to be in the corner, they are just going to make addi g more.... awkward. Excited but disappointed

on
Django_STL, United States of America

They are global forever stamps - just one will do!

on
mezzanine2, Canada

Congratulations to all who helped persuade the US Postal service to create a Postcrossing commemorative. This will certainly raise the status of Postcrossing and postcard writing, and persuade other national postal systems to create their own stamp!

on
Liana70, Russia

Great! Hi everyone! I want to get them all too. I wish everyone the best of postcrossing symbols😀❤💐

on
betslets, United States of America

Wow -- I did not expect to see the USA actually offer a Postcrossing Stamp in my lifetime! Kudos to all that sent encouraging words and worked behind the scenes to make this happen. And I'm already planning to send even more postcards. (It's still March 31 where I live)

How many stamps on a sheet? I love these!

on
Katch, United States of America

I’ve never preordered stamps before, but I will for these… so excited! Our post offices rarely order Global stamps until they run out of their previous ones, in this case the compasses. So not going wait for them to have them on hand. I wonder how many they’ll have per sheet.

on
Pangolee, United States of America

These are so gorgeous. I love triangle stamps. I want a bazillion.

on
PubTech, United States of America

@Bashirsmomma One of these stamps will suffice as it's a global forever stamp. It will always carry the international first-class rate, regardless of the price.

@Katch The press release says eight per sheet.

on
Kehau, United States of America

How can we get some?

on
postperson, United States of America

If Postcrossers from other countries that want the new stamp on the card they will be getting, maybe they should put a note in their profile? That way, senders from the US will know it is preferred over using a mix of stamps that are interesting to make the correct postage.

on
RsonW, United States of America

@bunnywithatoolbelt

The USPS typically offers new stamps for presale a month before they're issued.

on
scrabblebum, United States of America

So exciting! A dream come true. I confess though, that I wish they weren’t global (even though it makes sense that they are.) That makes them not so affordable within the U.S. Also I like to use lots of stamps to make up the global rate. Still, they are awesome and I am thrilled.

Over the course of my years with PostCrossing I submitted 4 letters of persuasion. Each reply seemed a little less negative. My mother worked for the USPS for 25 years. She would have been happy to see this finally come to fruition. Yeah!

scohen60, United States of America

I love the images, the playfulness, and the fact that they are triangular and take up less space so there is more space for writing! Looking forward to buying several sheets. Well done to the team that made this happen!

Acorny, United States of America

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day! Thank you to the determined and persistent Postcrossers who wrote in. I cannot wait to see them and share them with the world!

I assume there will also be merchandise with these too. USPS has been good about adding bookmarks, Field Notes notebooks, ceramic pins etc with some of their stamps releases.

Mapswell, United States of America

This is amazing! I have been on vacation from Postcrossing for a while now, but this is EXACTLY the news I needed to hear to get me back into my favorite hobby! Thank you to EVERYONE who has been encouraging the citizen stamp council to create a PX stamp. AND TRIANGLE!!!

Woohoo. Congrats everyone!

We are sort of talking about going to Boston for the show, but it is mid week. I will point out that it comes out right around my birthday...I'm taking credit :) It is a lovely stamp set and I will be buying a crap ton of them. This platform has been so nice to me over the last year and a half. Anybody outside the US looking for some, let me know.

I really want to buy them! Does anyone know how to get them in Asia? I checked the USPS website, but it looks like they only ship within the U.S.

on
orange_memo, United States of America

This has been a long waiting ! but Finally, some good news for American snail mail and postcards lovers. the design is trendy and edgy but wished it was more obvious the word or Postcrossing logo.

on

Baryska, Czech Republic

Congratulations to all of you who worked for so many years to make these USPS stamps happen! It’s a huge achievement — you really managed to overcome the bureaucratic hurdles. As for the design itself, the triangular shape is absolutely brilliant. Personally, I would have preferred a more muted colour palette, but I do like the chosen themes and their message. My favourite is the astronaut — I would love to receive a letter from space.

on
chisco, Spain

Congratulations. About already receiving some kind of stamp. In Spain, we were left wanting; there was a project one day, but it did not reach a good outcome. What healthy envy.

on

Finally something different! These look fun and whimsical. I also like that they are corner stamps! The round ones are hard to place sometimes.

on

Please write me a message if there's someone able to send me a sheet of them to Germany... Of course I can paypal you their price and postage for an international standard letter.

on
PandaSnailMail, United States of America

I nearly screamed out loud when I saw that these were coming! This is such an awesome opportunity for Postcrossing to expand and just become even greater! I may not be as hard-core as some of you, but I strive to be and am an advocate daily for anyone who loves postcards! I'm very fortunate to be going to the World Show in Boston in May, so this will be an exciting thing to experience! Surely, they will have a release ceremony for these! They would be foolish not to!

on
bhiemstra, United States of America

Wow! I am so excited that the USA will finally have its own postcrossing stamp. It pays to write letters! Thank you for the great news! I love the design. With the USA celebrating its 250th year, it couldn't have come at a better year. Barbara from Kansas
