Netherlands PostNL Digital Stamp Code

Netherlands · 2013 · Variable

This is a digital postage product from PostNL, the Dutch postal service. Instead of a physical adhesive stamp, users purchase a nine-digit alphanumeric code online which is then handwritten on the envelope in the place of a stamp. This modern solution is designed for occasional mailers who do not have physical stamps on hand.

Introduced in 2013, the 'postzegelcode' reflects the global trend of postal services adapting to digital technology and changing consumer habits in the 21st century.
