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:
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!
Fantastic. I hope to receive such beautiful stamps one day.
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 ...
what a beautiful stamp!
Fabulous stamps to look forward to in the coming year.
What a beautiful stamp , hopefully I will be able to receive next year!
Hurray, this is great !!
Beautiful stamps and a great way to celebrate Postcrossing's 20th anniversary! I hope to receive some in the coming year.
So happy my country celebrates you..!
Blessed to be able to send these out
I'm going to buy them and send them out on cards.
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.....
Wonderful idea
Well done - great interview with Geert - what a wonderful way to celebrate the 20th Anniversary!
Great stamps! I guess I need to go to Belgium for a few day trips next summer/autum again. :D
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.
Wow, so wonderful to see the trend of countries issuing Postcrossing stamps continues! I hope to receive one on a card after they are issued!
I received news of this awesome event on my husband’s birthday and the stamps will be released on my son’s birthday. And they were created for POSTCROSSING’S birthday. Very special stamps indeed!
Congrats to bpost! Wonderful stamps! Day of first issue is addet to calender!
I love that one stamp shows a left-handed writer! THAT'S awesome!
