Postage Stamp Bags October

Postage Stamp Bags are similar to Label Bags. Put a few stamps (10-15) inside an envelope. Put your details on the front of the envelope. On the back make spaces for at least 5 signers. Write instructions on your envelope (eg: Take 3 stamps, add 5).

Send at least 2 postage stamp bags to each partner. The bags can be new or established, but please don't send more than 1 'homer' (almost full bag that will need to be sent 'home' to owner after the next signer). If you do send a 'homer' bag, send an extra bag to make up for it :-)

Please only include good quality stamps - no torn, thin, bent, defects etc. If you receive a bag with poor quality stamps in it, please replace the poor stamps with good stamps before sending it on.

Stamps can be on or off paper.

No more than half of the stamps can be small definitive size.

Make sure there is no sticky residue on the back of the stamp. Dust with talcum powder if it is sticky, otherwise it will ruin the other stamps.

Don't include stamps with tape over them, or stamps that have been damaged with scissors.

Don't make your bags too big. They must fit inside a standard C6 envelope without being folded.

Make sure your bags have a closing flap so that the stamps don't fall out.

Double-check that your partner has not already signed the bags before you send them.
