The Emergency Provisional stamp was designed by New Zealand
Post and printed by CommArts in Wellington on a digital press in sheets of
ten.

Paper from two different manufacturers was used and
this has a slight effect on the printed shades on the front of the stamp.
However the papers are most easily distinguished by the printed markings on
the rear. In particular the wavy lines on the back of the Fasson paper
extend through every stamp and make it easy to determine which paper was
used on single stamps cut from the sheet.
