Postage stamp with a personalized coupon back

To have a private postage stamp is no longer an unrealizable wish

Since 2001 the POFIS provides an opportunity to put a reproduction of photography or picture on a stamp. The idea came from an experience of the Hungarian postal operator and it has adapted successfully also in Slovakia. The private stamps have a form of mini printing sheet with eight or twelve postage stamps accompanied by the relevant number of coupons. On stamp pictures are, for instance, motifs of doves, roses and tulips, the coupon is to be illustrated according to a wish of a person interested in the postage stamp with the personalized coupon.

In addition to a completion of an order and payment, a customer shall provide a picture that may be in a form of photo or of other pattern submitted physically or electronically. The photo can also be taken on site, directly at the workplace of personalized stamp production at the address – Slovenská pošta, a. s., POFIS, Námestie Slobody 27, Bratislava.

Orders for production of postage stamp with the personalized coupon are also accepted by all post offices in Slovakia. It is also possible to send the order together with a confirmation of payment by post.

One printing sheet of postage stamps with the personalized coupon costs from 6,18 € to 7,18 €.
