Description 
A piece of Swiss Post
As a tribute to the yellow shirts and blouses previously worn by staff, Swiss Post is issuing a stamp made out of leftover material from the old uniforms. Another idea that resonates with von Siebenthal: “I think it’s a brilliant approach. It’s creative and shows how upcycling can give old textiles a new lease of life.” Huber is also pleased with this special recycling solution: “The stamp made from the original clothing is an original collector’s item and memento a piece of Swiss Post history.”

Stamp style check
The stamp made from the original clothing is complemented by anthracite coloured elements. The colour is based on the blazer worn with the shirts and blouses, and the serrated edge refers to the traditional zigzag scissors used for cutting fabric.
