Self-adhesive cuts

What is the proper name for the sinusoidal cuts used on the self-adhesives?
The spacing of the "waves" can be measured on a standard perforation gauge,
but I have not seen any mention of gauge in cataloguing the stamps. Do they
vary, and has there been any changes in the gauge?

Australia has begun guaging their "peel and stick" Tony,
from some time back, but unsure if it is included in the latest
Stanley Gibbons.
If you were referring to Oz, which I doubt, let me know.

The Stanley Gibbons catalogues have been calling them
"die-cut perforations" or something like that, and gauging
them as normal perforations. This has been quite important
in their listings of NZ self-adhesive stamps which quite often
have two or three different gauges of die-cut depending on
their source.

Ah, yes,
Thanks Dave, now I remember. Die Cut Perfs.
I think we have 3 sources for ours.
Taken up by Rein some time back.

Thanks, Dave and Rodney. Die-cut sounds very appropriate.

I wasn't referring to Oz, whatever that may be.

He means Australia. It's a fairly common abbreviation
(the same pronounciation as "Aus...")

Oz = Australia

Canadian stamps have some that have the sinusodal waves and some others that
have strait edges. ie. the hockey allstar series. Do they consider these
ones non perferorated?

SG's Scandinavia Catalogue refers to the straight edges on recent Norway
booklet stamps as "imperforate". I would prefer to use the term
"straight edge", to distinquish them from those imperforate stamps that
need to be cut apart by the user.
