About

The United States Postal Service® owns the rights to numerous stamp images, logos and more. We look to find the best manufacturers and companies to team up with for licensing, keeping these factors in mind:

  • Goals align with those of our licensing program.
  • Ability to place our Postal Service brand into new markets, categories and retailers.
  • Image and personality match and/or enhance that of USPS®.
  • History of good business practices and other licensed partnerships.
  • Ability to work within commercial market retail channels to distribute products.
  • Detailed business plan for production and marketing of products.

Every purchase of officially licensed products directly supports the United States Postal Service.
