Stamp-Inspired Product Line Launched for Holiday Gift Giving

Trusted Postal Service Brand Adds to Decorative Treasures

Hliday Wrist watches

WASHINGTON, DC —A New York-based manufacturer has launched its first product line consisting entirely of designs inspired by U.S. Postal Service stamp art — the "P.S. Collection by Arjang&Company™.”

Their first offerings, the "P.S. I Love You™" and the "P.S. Happy Holidays™" product lines feature the
42-cent All Heart love series stamp and the 39-cent Snowflake stamp from the holiday collection. The products are now available exclusively online at www.pscollectionstore.com.

The "P.S. Happy Holidays" collection offers decorative wrist watches in a variety of stamp designs with a number of shapes, sizes and colors of watchbands. In addition to watches, the "P.S. I Love You" collection consists of decorative wall clocks, fine jewelry and bone china gift sets.

These offerings are a few of the many products licensed by the U.S. Postal Service. Other items include toys and games, packaging and shipping products, apparel and fashion accessories.

The U.S. Postal Service licensing program provides the organization with additional opportunities to reach customers and to attract new ones, while offering licensees one of the most recognizable and respected brands on their products.

“We’re proud to see stamp art on these items,” said Robert Bernstock, Postal Service president of Shipping and Mailing Services. “U.S. postage stamps reflect the significant events, people and natural wonders we celebrate in our lives.”
