Printable Stamp Perforation Gauge

Identifying a stamp's perforation gauge is one of the most important steps in confirming its variety, catalog listing, and true value. To make that process easier, we've created a precision-measured, printable perforation gauge that works for U.S. and worldwide stamps, from classic engraved issues to modern self-adhesives.

Whether you're sorting inherited albums, preparing listings, verifying a Scott number, or double-checking a possible perf variety, this downloadable gauge gives you a clear, accurate way to measure perforations per 2 centimeters - the philatelic standard used for stamp identification.
