How much is the US postage stamp rate for a Christmas greeting card? What are the postage rates for other assorted greeting cards? Now the answer is simple.

On 17 May, 2010,  the U.S.Postal Service released a new definitive stamp designed to make life easier for postal customers who are mailing Christmas greeting cards, birthday cards, or other assorted greeting cards.
Postal customers have often been surprised or confused by the non-machinable surcharge applied to some greeting cards. The USPS hopes the new Monarch Butterfly stamp, along with the cooperation of greeting card manufacturers, will help solve this problem.

 
 

Which Envelopes Require the Butterfly Stamp?

The new 64-cent Monarch Butterfly stamp is designed for use on non-machinable envelopes that require additional postage. Letters or cards that weigh less than 3.5 ounces (the max weight for first-class letters) and meet any of the following characteristics (as found on the USPS web site) are subject to the non-machinable surcharge of $0.20, bringing the final 2010 cost of postage for a one-ounce, non-machinable letter to $0.64.
