Postage stamp separation

For postage stamps, separation is the means by which individual stamps are made easily detachable from each other.

Methods of separation include:

  1. perforation: cutting rows and columns of small holes
  2. rouletting: small horizontal and vertical cuts
  3. diecutting: cut paper to shape using a metal die—used for self-adhesive stamps.
