| Issue details: | Technical progress will soon mean that every post customer will be able to have his or her own personal stamp. This stamp, called 'Meine Marke' in German is the prototype.
For some time now, various countries have been producing stamps in which an adjoining empty space can be designed individually. Photos, portraits, drawings, texts and the like can be provided by the customer and are printed into the space. The resulting stamp together with the ornamental field then constitutes a single unit. In a number of cases, the space for individual design is integrated in the stamp.
The Austrian Post Office is pursuing this latter approach. The Austrian stamps only have a graphic design frame stating the denomination of the stamp. The inner part of the stamp is empty, and can be designed individually by the customer.
The frame contains a number of security features as are currently (2003) standard on Austrian stamps. The basic stamp alone, with the inner area left empty, is still a fully valid stamp.
This stamp fulfils the wishes of the Post Office's customers who have long been wanting appropriate stamps for specific personal occasions. Thus, for instance, invitations to a birthday party can be sent with a portrait of the birthday child on the stamp.
