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.

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.

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.

Year: January 2017, Self-adhesive.

Belgium: Priority labels

Labels from Belgium.

They come in sheets of 10 labels. The interesting thing about this is that this sheet has an id number, unlike the big sheet.

Year: 2007/2008, Self-adhesive.

Denmark: Prioritaire A, NEW!

So here are the new Prioritaire A labels I'm been talking about. I know what you are thinking - they look just like the old ones!

The labels come on a sheet of 18, just like the label design that came out in 2011. The blue color of the labels are darker and the letters are another shade of white. The label material is also different. The new labels also have a very shiny surface.

I find it quite curious that we have got new labels here in Denmark. That normally doesn't happen and also so soon after we just got updated labels in 2011.

These labels are called: J 80 (07/12) J 80 is the label name for Prioritaire A and 07/12 is the date they where published.

Year: 2012, Self-adhesive.

New labels

So I recently updated saying my label collection was on hold, but I was at the post office today and I noticed we have got new labels here in Denmark again! That was pretty fast as we only just got new labels last year. I will update with more information and scans tomorrow :)
