2002.07.01    Netherlands Business Stamps
On 1 July 2002, TPG Post released two new business stamps: € 0.39 and € 0.78. The stamps are only available in rolls of 100. The stamps are a useful addition to the existing range of stamps on a roll and make it easier for business customers to select the correct postage for each target group.

The design is based on a pattern of circles. The value of the stamp is shown within the contours of the motif. The designer's brief was to create a stamp design that was as neutral as possible because it is intended for use by business customers, whose envelopes already carry various logos and company names. The stamp therfore had to be 'modest' in relation to other references on the envelope.
