Types of Stamps - Stamped Envelopes
 

A Stamped Envelope is a type of postal stationary with the postage stamp either embossed or pre-printed on the envelope. They are collected as either Entires, (The whole envelope as sold by the post office) or as Cut Squares in which the stamp is cut out of the envelope with a surrounding square shaped margin as illustrated below.
