A postcard travels further than you think. These stamps are shaped to say so.
Since 2005, the Postcrossing website has led more than 805,000 people in over 200 countries and territories to send more than 85 million postcards, with roughly 300,000 in transit at any moment. These four triangular stamps recognize the pleasure of it — a real card, written by hand, arriving from somewhere else — and the understanding it builds between countries and cultures. Postcrossing began with Portuguese student Paulo Magalhães, who found that postcards in the mail made his day brighter; with friends including community manager Ana Campos, he launched the site on July 14, 2005, hosting it at first on an old personal computer at home. Members had exchanged a million cards by April 2008. As Global stamps, these carry a one-ounce postcard or letter to any country served by First-Class Mail International®.
Send one, and someone opens their door a little wider.
PERFECT FOR: postcards abroad, pen-pal envelopes, journal pages, mail-art collections, and the small ritual of choosing a stamp that actually matches the card.
