| General Description : | Pushing the boundaries of stamp production, Canada Post has created Canada’s first fabric stamp as a fitting celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Canadian flag, a symbol cherished at home and widely recognized and respected abroad. New and ambitious printing process. Designer Kosta Tsetsekas explains that the biggest challenge in creating the fabric stamp was applying ink to the satin rayon, which is essentially a three-dimensional surface. A battery of tests helped Tsetsekas and the printer, the Canadian Bank Note Company, understand more about the interaction between ink and fabric to achieve consistent results in the production of such an innovative stamp.
