Blog > A new Postcrossing stamp... from Belgium!

  icon

We’ve been biting our tongues to share the news with you, and now it’s finally time: bpost will launch five new Postcrossing-themed stamps to celebrate Postcrossing’s 20th anniversary next year! 🎉 The stamps come in a special stamp sheet that looks like a postcard:

A colorful Belgian stamp sheet celebrating Postcrossing 20th anniversary (2005–2025) with illustrations of postcard exchanges, global connection, and greetings in Belgium national languages.

Isn’t that clever? 🤩 The stamp sheet was designed by Geert Wille and features the 2 main languages of the country. On the stamps, you can see the several steps of the journey of a postcard, from writing to arriving in someone’s hands across the world — like a “paper airplane”, flying around and connecting us all!

The stamp issue will be on sale from 16th June 2025 and we know there’s still a long time to go… but we can’t wait for next summer to see these stamps in the postcards sent from Belgium!

I want them all, it's a great design. It would be great if Germany also issued some stamps for the postcrossing anniversary.

Really cool!
Having 'europe' in the stamp means that postage is just for Europe?

@Luziaceleste: It should also be possible to use them for the rest of the world, if the remaining postage (22 cents) is added!

What a *wonderful* bit of news for Postcrossing and for postal services! Maybe Postcrossing could write an article, 'How to' get a Postcrossing stamp", with advice from those in each country who lobbied successfully for a Postcrossing stamp so we, who do not have one, could learn a few strategies to help us get one? Please ...

Congratulations to Belgium!

Why do small countries manage to get postcrossing stamps into circulation???

In Germany, with the most active postcrossers, this is NOT possible.....

Oh, I'm so happy to live very near the Belgium border. In fact my boy-friend lives there. I will see if I can buy some of them. I just put the date into my calendar.
