Stamps special events

A new series of stamps for special events is issued every few years.This time, the series comprises three special stamps on the topics of three special stamps on the topics of “Congratulations”, “Thanks” and “Comfort”. They are designed to be modern, expressive and yet neutral, so that you’re bound to find the right stamp for every occasion. The key feature of the new stamp series is the hand, which is combined on each of the stamps with a symbol conveying the relevant emotion before the reader has even opened the envelope.
