No need for stamps

Maltapost has just introduced a new parcel labelling system at its postal retail counters that eliminates the need to affix stamps to parcels.

The service is available for airmail parcels to foreign destinations. It does away with the use of stamps for mailing of parcels.

The A6-size label will carry details of the country of destination, zone, weight, barcode, date and postal costs. Both the barcode and parcel details will also be printed on the client's receipt.

The labels were designed according to the Universal Postal Union standards and are in line with similar labels in use by the majority of postal administrations.
