This is the design used in Norway right now. Kindly sent to me by the Norwegian Post.

Russia: Airmail labels

These labels were sent to me this year, almost at the same time. Both where sent from Moscow. What I think is funny is that they are so different. One is darker than the other and one has round edges.

I wonder which one is the newer design? Or maybe they do not are very strict printing rules when it comes to airmail labels? I know some countries are like that.
They are both cut out from a bigger sheet.

USA: Airmail, Express and Priority labels

Airmail labels from the USA. I been told that these have gone out of print, since all mail in the USA is now by air. But I still get these stickers on my mail from the US. So maybe they are not out of print yet?

Below you can see two different sizes. The is one more that I don't have a scan of yet, a much bigger label for packages.

Year: 1997, Self-adhesive.                    Year: 2002, Self-adhesive.

           

Here is the express label from the US. It comes in a roll of 440 labels.

Year: ?, Self-adhesive.

And last we have the priority mail labels. They come both in address label form and normal sticker form.
First the address labels. Here you can see the older and newer design.

Year: 2008, Self-adhesive.


Then the normal sticker label.

Last we have this 'Priority gift' label I got back in Christmas 2008. I don't know if it is a label they have out every Christmas. But it is a fun holiday design for the priority label.

Year: 2008, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Express labels

I don't know all that much about express labels here in Denmark.

First an older design. It came in pads of 50 labels, 5 on each sheet.

Year: 1954, Gummed.




I'm not sure when they got rid of the old design. Now express labels come in sheets of 6, I think. You can get them for free at the post office.





Not shown in this picture, is that each label comes with a special tracking number.
