Stora's Stellar Stamp Substrates

Stora Enso's Stevens Point, WI mill produced the substrates used to print the U.S. Postal Services' recently unveiled Star Wars stamps. The papermaker's OptiLabel Stamp face paper and LumiSil Stamp release liner were used to produce the 15 commemorative stamps.

The Star Wars collector's sheet, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the film's opening, bears the images of characters from all six episodes: Luke Skywalker; Han Solo with Chewbacca; Princess Leia Organa with R2-D2; C-3PO; Yoda; Queen Padmé Amidala; Obi-Wan Kenobi; Darth Vader; Emperor Palpatine; Darth Maul; Obi-Wan Kenobi with Anakin Skywalker; imperial stormtroopers; Boba Fett; the Millennium Falcon; and an X-wing fighter.

USPS also invited America to vote for the most popular character to feature on the only Star Wars stamp that will be available for individual sale. Yoda emerged the winner, and the stamp, also to be printed on Stora Enso papers, will be available this fall.
