At the start or end of a coil-stamp print run from the 170-subject rotary plates, some leading or trailing paper was left over that was too short for 500 stamp coil rolls. The Bureau devised a plan to salvage this waste by converting the stamps from coil stamps into sheet stamps. This was accomplished by cutting the sheets into panes and putting the panes through the flat-plate perforator, giving the stamps perforations on all sides.
