2012Jersey Moments - Set

Personalised stamps were first introduced over a decade ago and now Jersey Post has given islanders theopportunity to personalise their mail. This set of eight self-adhesive stamps will be issued for our Philateliccustomers and are also part of the new personalised stamps service which will also be launched on issueday. For this service, the stamps have been produced, attached to stamp labels which can bepersonalised; customers can add a photograph, logo or message to the label. The personalisation allowsthe recipient of the mail to feel a connection with the sender even before they open the envelope.There are four Local Letter stamps and four UK Letter stamps. In the initial stages of design for this stampissue the design team at Jersey Philatelic thought about what type of mail would benefit from a personaltouch. Each of the bright and eye-catching images was especially sourced to provide a range ofinterpretations and uses. The general feeling was that personalised mail would mostly consist of invites toengagement parties, weddings or christenings; sending birthday invites or birthday wishes; thank younotes, new address notification and Christmas cards.
