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)

Denmark: Airmail labels, Unlisted?

Now these labels are from a roll and clearly from the 80's looking at the design. But I don't see them in the Günter Mair airmail label catalogue.

Year: 1980's, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: More 80's labels

They have the same id number on them as those from 1984, but these also feature the text 'etiketten er aftagelig' = 'the label can be peeled off'.

Denmark: Prioritaire A and Economique B

The labels that came out in 2003/2004 in pads of 40 labels were also available on rolls (of around 400 labels, I think)

The only difference is that while the Economique on pads came out in 2004, the ones on the roll came out in 2003.

Year: 2003, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Prioritaire A and Economique B

Now for something a bit interesting. Remember these Danish labels that came out in 2011 on sheets of 18 labels.

Well in 2011 2 other sheets were published. They have the same date and id number on them as the others I have posted, but look different. These only have 14 labels on the sheet.

I do wonder why they published 2 that year.

Year: 2011, Self-adhesive.

Year: 2011, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Economique B

These are Economique labels that came out in 2014. They come on sheets with 16 labels.

These labels are not in use anymore as all mail is now 'priority' airmail in Denmark.

I do think it's funny they have 16 labels on this sheet while they on the Prioritaire sheet that came out the same year only have 12.

Year: 2014, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Prioritaire labels

These sheets came out in 2014. They each have 12 labels.

Year: 2014, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Prioritaire labels

The Danish and Swedish postal service merged into Postnord some years ago.

That means that both Denmark and Sweden now use the same design Prioritaire labels.

The Danish ones currently come on a sheet of 12 labels.

They are light blue and have white backing paper.
