The Island's Jersey’s first permanent Post & Go machine has been installed in the Broad Street Post Office.
Post & Go is the next generation of self-adhesive stamps overprinted with the postage on demand and Jersey Post hopes it will make the Island's very collectable stamps even more appealing the world over.
Jersey Post & Go stamps carry unique identification numbers depending on the machine and session number of where and when they were issued. The new machine will vend stamps featuring Jersey’s first Post & Go design, the Jersey flag, as well as Royal Mail stamps depicting the Union flag. Both stamp designs will carry the unique location identifier "Broad Street".
To celebrate this year International Air Display, the Jersey flag Post & Go stamps will be printed with special air display overprints a month from 11 September. The Union flag stamps will not carry the overprints but will feature the Broad Street identification.
Jersey Post’s senior philatelic manager, Melanie Gouzinis, said they are confident that the new Post & Go products will prove popular with collectors.
“We have seen a lot of interest in our Post & Go stamps to date following our launch at Spring Stampex earlier in the year and our overprinted stamps at PhilaKorea World Stamp Exhibition last month. The next step was to bring a Post & Go machine to Jersey’s Broad Street post office and we’re really looking forward to seeing it go live. We have exciting plans to widen our Post & Go product range as we move into 2015 with some beautiful new stamp designs, enabling our collectors to further enhance their collections of this next generation of stamps," she said.
