Known NZ Personalised Stamps 2020

Compiled by Tony Ward & Jo Blyth ©2021

Postal Rates increased on the 1st July 2020. The new denominations available for personalised stamps are

$1·40, $ 2·70, and $3·30.

Face value totals per denomination of p-stamps (singles) listed in the 2020 catalogue:

$1·30 face: $79·30 $1·40 face: $119·00 $2·20 face: $2·20

$2·60 face: $2·60 $2·70 face: $8·10 $3·30 face: $9·90

This gives a total face value of $221·10. CAL collectors will remember the yearly CAL Packs available

from NZ Post at the end of each year with a mint single of each CAL produced during the year. Much to

the disappointment of many, these annual packs were going not to be provided for Personalised Stamps.

Perhaps it is just as well, as there will be many more p-stamps produced we don’t know of, and a full

pack would be very costly!

NZ Post provided the following information re printing of Personalised stamps: Personalised stamps are printed

by us at our own Whanganui facility on a Fuji Xerox Versant 3100 Digital Press. Red phosphor coated

gummed and self-adhesive stamp paper is purchased from Tullis Russell in the UK. The paper is

perforated (gummed stamp paper) or die cut (self-adhesive stamp paper) by Southern Colour Print in

Dunedin and supplied to us in SRA3 (320mm x 450mm) size sheets. Following printing we trim to the

final sheet size.

Stamp size: 30mm x 40mm Perforation Gauge of gummed stamp is 13·33 x 13·60

Very occasionally a “confetti flaw” is produced during printing. This is created by a paper chad being

trapped within a page and falling off once printed. The chad occurs when the pins on the perforating

comb need sharpening - fortunately, that doesn't happen very often as the pins are normally checked

before use, but some are used more often than others. While these “flaws” aren’t necessarily of great

monetary value, they are an item of interest, as shown in the three examples below. Can you find the

‘confetti flaw’ in each example?

The range/purpose of p-stamps produced in 2020 has been pleasingly varied, with many FDC’s

noticeably showing a great depth of thought, effort, and quality printing. The last entry is an ‘appendix’

for 2019 – a stamp discovered during this year. If you know of any others stamps produced during 2020

that aren’t listed, please contact us so they can be added to a 2020 Appendix.
