Znaczki - A Special Form of Postage Stamp
Znaczki are a special form of postage stamps and an integral part of the postal system.

They are an important part of the overall security of the postal service and are designed to meet the most stringent technical and design requirements.
The issuance of znaczki is a very difficult task due to the strict rules set by the Polish Postal Office. They are subject to numerous tests, including resistance to chemicals, water and light. They are also subject to inspections by independent agencies and, as such, are considered the best solution for ensuring the reliability of the postal system.
