In today’s modern world, where communication primarily occurs through digital means, one might wonder why our stamps still resemble classic postage stamps. We combine the tradition and nostalgia of traditional stamps with the convenience and accessibility of digital technology.
Our stamps are square in shape, a nod to the classic design of postage stamps. The square shape is iconic and instantly recognizable, making our digital stamps reminiscent of traditional stamps. In the future, we will introduce stamps in other sizes to accommodate different collector preferences.
Our digital travel stamps do not cover postage. They are stored digitally and can be easily accessed via web application. This means you can always have your stamps at hand without having to stick them anywhere or keep them in an album.
