The Lunar New Year will mark a first for the Philippine postal service as it launched its first gold-foiled 3D stamp Thursday.
Appropriately, the Philippine Postal Corp. adopted the "Year of the Horse" as the theme of its first set of such gold-foiled 3D stamps.
"With its golden and embossed feel, the said stamp aptly showcases the grandeur Chinese New Year brings not only to the Chinese community but for common Filipinos alike," PhlPost said in a release posted on its website.
According to PhlPost, the stamp is printed with gold foil stamping and 3D embossing technology used by neighboring postal counterparts.
Postmaster General and PhlPost CEO Josie dela Cruz said the new set of stamps will be available starting Friday, January 31.
The special-issue souvenir sheet will be sold at P200 per piece while the regular ones cost P10 and P30.
The special stamp series is printed using a special offset ink (processed ink) and only 7,000 will be released.
Last December, PhlPost released 55,000 copies of the regular “Year of the Horse" stamps.
Its regular stamps feature the horse figure with its Chinese characters printed in a 40mm x 30mm imported unwatermarked paper, designed by PhlPost artists Jose Antonio Jayme and Jan Michael Manuel. — BM, GMA News
