UniversalMail UK...
.....customised international postcard-rate
stamps.
It is more than ten years since the arrival of the first personalised postage stamp products
from Universal Mail UK which we included in our 2nd edition of the Customised
Stamp Sheets of Great Britain Catalogue published in February 2010.
Stamp Strips UM01 - UM 22 were described in full and subsequently in the Collector's
Guide available as an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) download from this website.
Since that time there have been many more strips
issued and subsequently re-printed, with the numbers growing each year. It is for that
reason that we have retired the individual pages we produced for each new strip
with the focus now on a more comprehensive and routinely updated Universal
Mail UK - Collector's
Guide. Click on this link to download the free collectors guide.
For those wishing to purchase these strips a few of them are
listed on my eBay shop website.
