Slovak self-adhesive postage stamps separated by cutting
Overview of Slovak self-adhesive postage stamps separated by cutting and types of cutting.
Classical separation of postage stamps
Non-serrated (non-perforated) postage stamps are separated from their counter sheets, printing sheets or sheetlets by cutting or trimming.
Serrated (perforated) postage stamps are separated from their counter sheets, printing sheets or sheetlets by breaking the narrow bridges around the perforation holes to form serrations around the whole or part of the postage stamp. The perforation tool is most often a circular hollow perforation needle, but may also have a different shape e.g. oval, star-shaped or cross-shaped.
