Switzerland (WebStamp) 2016
As part of promotional activities for the International Map Year (IMY) the Swiss Cartographic Society has issued a personalized “WebStamp” through Swiss Post. The Swiss Post’s personalized “WebStamps” enable online design of adhesive stamps. The horizontal formatted label depicts a perforated “stamp” area on the left containing the International Cartographic Society (ICA) logo in the upper left corner, with the IMY logo along the lower section of the stamp. The Swiss Cartographic Society Logo is in the upper right corner of the stamp. The remainder of the label consists of a 2d-barcode, denomination and postal permit markings. The label also contains the “pro clima” logo, signifying that delivery of the letter will be carbon-neutral, thanks to a “high-value” climate protection contribution from Swiss Post. There are a total of 4 denominations, all in Swiss Francs (CHF) of 0.85, 1.00 (standard denomination), 1.30, 1.80. The Swiss Cartographic Society will be using the stamps on all Society mail and hopes that the stamps will raise awareness of the IMY and other cartographic related activities. [ Note: If you are interested in purchasing one or more of the labels, please email CPS member Thomas Schulz. There are two offers: OFFER 1: Two (2) mint stamps at 1.00 CHF plus a nicely postmarked “WebStamp” on the envelope for 10 USD/EUR/CHF or OFFER 2: The whole set of four (4) stamps at 0.85 / 1.00 / 1.30 / 1.80 CHF plus a nicely postmarked “WebStamp” on the envelope for 15 USD/EUR/CHF ]
