Switzerland: Priority labels

Big labels from Switzerland. They come in strips of 5 labels.

Year: 2011, Gummed.*


*I'm pretty sure the design have been printed before and is not new. The thing I have noticed about Switzerland labels is that when they print a new batch of the same labels they get a new year instead of the year the design first came out.

Switzerland: Older labels

Some older labels from 'Swissair'.
According to Wikipedia:

"Swissair AG (Swiss Air Transport Company Limited, Schweizerische Luftverkehr) was the former national airline of Switzerland.
It was formed from a merger between Balair and Ad Astra Aero (To the Stars), in 1931. For most of its 71 years, Swissair was one of the major international airlines and known as the "Flying Bank" due to the financial stability of the airline, causing it to be regarded as a Swiss national symbol and icon. It was headquartered at Zurich Airport in Klote."


The airline was founded in 1931 and ceased operations in 2002.

I'm pretty sure the labels are from the 1960's. They all look to be from a pad.

Switzerland: Priority labels

I recently traded with someone over at postcrossing and they sent me some different labels from Switzerland. :)

Year: 2006, Gummed.           Year: 2008, Gummed.
     

They are both from pads and come in strips of 10 labels.
This last label is from a stamp booklet.

Year: 2008?, Self-Adhesive.
