Description
In commemoration of the Netherlands’ Children’s Book Week, PostNL, the royal postal service, created the first ever pop-up stamp. Only to be used for mail within the country, the stamp is seven times thicker than normal stamps. Pull the heavy cardboard tab and either a butterfly or toucan will stand up and show you a hidden animal behind. Invented by Johan Enschedé Stamps, Haarlem, the designs by Hans and Sabine Bockting are based on the 2012 picture book, Hallo, by Fleur van der Weel. The folder text describes the creation of the stamp and the design issues.
