Issue and Listing Facts

|---|---|

| Total quantity | 100 stamps |
| Package format | 5 sheets |
| SKU | ST137-16PD |
Mailing Use
These are ordinary domestic Forever stamps for eligible one-ounce First-Class Mail letters under current USPS rules. The design does not change the postage requirement. A finished piece that is heavier, larger, square, rigid, nonstandard, international, or sent with an added service can require additional postage.
When the completed envelope is outside the ordinary letter format, use the postage decision guide before mailing.
Diwali Design and Pane Format
USPS issued the Diwali stamp on October 5, 2016, in New York as one design in a pane of 20. The image shows a traditional diya oil lamp with flower petals on a gold background. This listing contains five 20-stamp sheets for a total of 100 stamps.
Festival Context of the Diwali Issue
USPS describes Diwali, also known as Deepavali, as a major annual festival associated with the triumph of good over evil. The stamp design centers on a diya, the small oil lamp traditionally used during the observance.
Five Complete Sheets
The listing uses the official 20-stamp pane format rather than a mixed booklet. Five complete sheets make up the stated 100-stamp total, helping buyers compare the format as well as the design.
Choosing This Design
Select this listing when its 2016 issue, theme, 100-stamp quantity, and 5 sheets format fit your mailing plan. The artwork can coordinate personal correspondence or a themed mailing, while the stamp remains postage rather than a separate mailing service.
