Denmark: Prioritaire

It turnes out we do have labels on a roll here in Denmark! I saw them last week when I was at the post office and asked to get some. The postal worker said that she could not give them out, only those on a sheet (which I already have). The postal worker said, those on a roll are for post offices only and they use them when people send mail from the post office, not to give out.

Anyway, the post office has hired a lot of December help, because people order so many gifts online, so today when I visited the post office only the December help was there not the normal postal workers, and I asked if I could get some labels from the roll and she gave me some :)
I will ask for more next time I see it's not the normal postal workers.

They look like the Swedish from a roll, except the backing paper is wider and the id number on the back is also different.

Id number is: 101296 (01/17)

Year: 2017, Self-adhesive
