The butterfly definitive stamps were initially printed by Leigh-Mardon Pty
Ltd. The House of Questa later reprinted the issue and these stamps may be
distinguished by the differing perforations on the top and bottom edges of
the stamps although the $1, $2 and $4 stamps also vary in size. The $5
stamp was not issued until January 1995.
The House of Questa stamps
are incorrectly listed as being Perf 13¾ x 14 in at least two other
highly regarded catalogues when they are in fact 13¾ x 14¼.
Volume X of the Postage Stamps of New Zealand (by the Royal Philatelic
Society of New Zealand) confirms that 13¾ x 14¼ is in fact
correct.

Southern Colour Print
produced a trial AirPost booklet with AirPost labels
se-tenant to the top of the stamps. The bottom
edge of stamps from the booklet are imperforate. Southern Colour Print also
reprinted the $4 stamp and these stamps can also be distinguished by
differing perforations.
The stamps also appeared on one of the two
1991 Philanippon miniature sheets.
