We’ve been biting our tongues to share the news with you, and now it’s finally time: bpost will launch five new Postcrossing-themed stamps to celebrate Postcrossing’s 20th anniversary next year! 🎉 The stamps come in a special stamp sheet that looks like a postcard:
Isn’t that clever? 🤩 The stamp sheet was designed by Geert Wille and features the 2 main languages of the country. On the stamps, you can see the several steps of the journey of a postcard, from writing to arriving in someone’s hands across the world — like a “paper airplane”, flying around and connecting us all!
The stamp issue will be on sale from 16th June 2025 and we know there’s still a long time to go… but we can’t wait for next summer to see these stamps in the postcards sent from Belgium!

I want them all, it's a great design. It would be great if Germany also issued some stamps for the postcrossing anniversary.
Really cool!
Having 'europe' in the stamp means that postage is just for Europe?
@Luziaceleste: It should also be possible to use them for the rest of the world, if the remaining postage (22 cents) is added!
Fantastic. I hope to receive such beautiful stamps one day.
What a *wonderful* bit of news for Postcrossing and for postal services! Maybe Postcrossing could write an article, 'How to' get a Postcrossing stamp", with advice from those in each country who lobbied successfully for a Postcrossing stamp so we, who do not have one, could learn a few strategies to help us get one? Please ...
what a beautiful stamp!
Fabulous stamps to look forward to in the coming year.
What a beautiful stamp , hopefully I will be able to receive next year!
Hurray, this is great !!
Beautiful stamps and a great way to celebrate Postcrossing's 20th anniversary! I hope to receive some in the coming year.
So happy my country celebrates you..!
Blessed to be able to send these out
I'm going to buy them and send them out on cards.
Congratulations to Belgium!
Why do small countries manage to get postcrossing stamps into circulation???
In Germany, with the most active postcrossers, this is NOT possible.....
Wonderful idea
Well done - great interview with Geert - what a wonderful way to celebrate the 20th Anniversary!
Great stamps! I guess I need to go to Belgium for a few day trips next summer/autum again. :D
Oh, I'm so happy to live very near the Belgium border. In fact my boy-friend lives there. I will see if I can buy some of them. I just put the date into my calendar.
Wow, so wonderful to see the trend of countries issuing Postcrossing stamps continues! I hope to receive one on a card after they are issued!
I received news of this awesome event on my husband’s birthday and the stamps will be released on my son’s birthday. And they were created for POSTCROSSING’S birthday. Very special stamps indeed!
Congrats to bpost! Wonderful stamps! Day of first issue is addet to calender!
I love that one stamp shows a left-handed writer! THAT'S awesome!
Wonderful! I love the design, and it's only 5 euros for this beautiful sheet!
That really makes me want to send more postcards (and to be Belgian :))
I just received the polish pc stamp, would love to get this one too
Congratulations to Belgium, lovely stamps I*m waiting for one.
Beautiful
Waiting new stamp from russian post...
🥳 20 years!!! 🥳
PostNL will also launch their third sheet of Postcrossing stamps on June 10, 2025. 💕
The Belgian Post Office has come up with something great.
These stamps are gorgeous! Congratulations to Belgium! :)
These are wonderful! Will have to hope I may receive one of these next year....here's wishing!
Hope the UK may get a special Postcrossing stamp
I love these!
Congratulations to Belgium!
Congrats to this great stamp set!
i still have some spare Postcrossing stamps of Switzerland, if anyone is interested in a swap :-)
Wow, how great. Several stamps describing the journey on an extra sheet. Marvellous. 🥰
Great idea and realisation. 👍
I'm a Belgian postcrosser and I'm very proud that Belgian post will have those wonderful stamps for the 20th birthday of postcrossing.
What a beautiful stamp!! I love it!
Congrats to Belgium 🇧🇪 the Birthday Stamps are so Beautiful 😍
Hoera Belgie. Wat een mooie zegel hebben jullie in omloop kunnen brengen proficiat. Vanuit buurland Nederland de hartelijke postcrossinggroeten.
Bonjour . Le timbre de poste est tres belle. Congrats du Pays Bas.
wow that's a real cool set. hope I will be happy to receive one :D
The presale of the stamp with a special first day cancellation will be on Saturday 14th of June 2025 in Skala hall in the village of Kalken (Laarne). The Post will be present from 10 am until 3 pm. There will also be a regional stamp exhibition (all exhibition classes, also picture postcards) on 14th and 15th of June. SKALAFILA 2025 is organised by the stamp club Themafila-Wetteren.
Prima design werk geleverd door Geert voor BPost !!
Exited to buy and use them !!
Was für eine schöne Briefmarke, ich freue mich wenn mich eine erreicht:)
Really nice stamps and stamp sheet! ❤️
I hope to receive a postcard with this stamp from someone 🤩
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!
Hiep Hiep Hoera for Belgium for the very nice post-stamp. I hope to find one, one day on a postcard from our Belgium postcrossers.
Congratulations to Belgian postcrossers - this is really a unique stamp sheet! I am happy for you!
(ok, I must admit, I am a little bit envious, since German Post ist not so spontaniously that we coud ask to celebrate the 20th anniversary - rather start already to prepare for 25th anniversary :-) )
Beautiful stamp! I look forward to seeing this stamp on postcards from Belgium!
Oh so cool! I will definitly buy these 🤩
Nice, I am a stamp collector and and also a postcrossing participant. So 2 birds with one stone.
What great stamps! 🙂 Hopefully, there will also be a Postcrossing-themed stamp in Finland 😊
Love it!!
Yeah, great! Can't wait till it is June next year! I will be putting them on my cards.
WOW! The stamp sheet looks soo-oo great!
Wondeerful stamp. Germany issued a Postcrossing stamp some time ago, but regretably it is sold out. Perhaps there will be another stamp created?
Looks so good, love the creativity
Happy Postcrossing 😊
How wonderful! I wish the U.S. would follow suit.
I'll use them for sure :-)
Great news!
Looks wonderful & I hope to receive this stamp one day!
xoxo
:) :D
Very wonderful! I haven't seen anything from the United States as far as something like this yet, but I hope someone can do something like this. Right now, they only give us 1 option for a stamp because of the cost of postage.
Beauty! I'll be waiting for a postcard with such a stamp.
Love the design, very creative! Looking forward to sending some postcards with them :)
Great - 5 designs! A whole stamp series. Why are Germany and the US lagging behind in issuing their own?
True, I forgot! There is a German Postcrossing stamp. Came out 2 years ago: https://www.postcrossing.com/blog/2022/10/06/the-german-postcrossing-stamp-is-live
I hope to get a postcard with those stamps on one day!
This is so exciting!! So happy to see so many national postal authorities releasing Postcrossing stamps :)
So pretty!!! I can't wait to receive them! :)
Congratulations! This is wonderful. The stamps are a good deal of fun and I hope to receive one or more on a postcard some day. The article about Geert Willie and the process of creating a stamp was very interesting.
O what a long wait. Wish it was spring already. Beauty design and a nice number of 5 different stamps. On the Dutch parto of the forum I read that postnl announced a 20year Postcrossing celebration stamp for.... when it's 20y!!! Fingers (post)crossed if we get it.
Nice stamps of Belgium. I like to receive those !
Can anyone help me !
Obviously I will return you same or cards of Bangladesh. My postal address is there in my PC profile ( manik2642).
Regards.
