Private labels

 

Private registration and packet labels of the Faroe Islands.

 

For many years, organisations, commercial companies and private individuals in the Faroe Islands, who send a lot of items as either registered mail or as postal packets, have been able to have their own postal labels printed by the postal authorities.  

At one time, at least 24 organisations had their own private Registration labels for Registered labels for Registered Mail. (see list No.1)

This number has now reduced to 15 (see list No.2) 

Similar. Before 1990, at least 36 organisations had their own private labels for use on postal packets and parcel cards (see list No.3) 

Companies and organisations could also arrange for the printing of their own, unique Parcel Cards. (see list No.4) 

Today, however, there are no private parcel cards for packets sent by Postverk Føroya’s service. Instead, companies sending large numbers of parcels now use the “Pakkapostur” service for mail to destinations within Faroe Islands (List No.5) and ordinary Parcel Cards (fig.1) for mail to Denmark and other countries. 

I have compiled lists (Nos. 1-5) of those organisations known to have used private postal labels and parcel cards. If you can add new information, please let me know so that the list can be improved and updated.
