Franking Labels 2026:
50 Years of Faroese Postal Service
On 1 April 2026, it will be 50 years since the Faroese postal service was established. This milestone is being celebrated with four franking labels that illustrate the development over the past 50 years – from handwritten letters and Christmas greetings, delivered by dedicated postal workers to every household, to today’s digital era, where the majority of our mail is handled via computer or app.
The four franking labels depict:
- The era when people sent handwritten letters to each other.
- The era when mailboxes were full of letters.
- The era when people sent and received many parcels, delivered by electric postal vans.
- The digital present, where it is possible to use an app, and people can send and collect parcels from parcel lockers across the country.
The illustrations are hand-drawn and colored in pure, vibrant tones, creating a strong graphic impression. The blue Posta color is featured throughout the franking labels, while the yellow contrast color highlights the theme of each individual label.
