Perforation variety: as the word itself says it is a variety of an originally existing perforation.

Stamps with the same perforation that have one, two or three imperforate sides (including booklet stamps) are not perforated varieties but continue to fall under the "stamp" type. Of course, perforated varieties of this can occur, which are named as such.

Completely imperforate seals are not perforated varieties. This also applies to misprints, private prints or edges of large sheets (eg classic USA) that are partly not perforated.

Adhesive stamps issued with the same design as a gummed stamp may not be classified as a variety, but as a stamp. The differences between these stamps are so great that they are not generally regarded as a variety of each other.
