EUROPA Stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations.

They bear the official EUROPA logo, a PostEurop registered trademark under the aegis of PostEurop in which Europe is the central theme.

EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world and have been issued for over 60 years.

Every year a new theme is assigned by PostEurop and all participating countries issue stamps with their own interpretation of the theme.

The theme for 2026 is "Common design: 70th Anniversary of EUROPA Stamps.

More about EUROPA Postage Stamps:

EUROPA Postage stamps (also known as Europa - CEPT - European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations - until 1992) are special stamps issued by European Postal Administrations/Enterprises and bears the official EUROPA logo, a PostEurop registered trademark under the aegis of PostEurop in which Europe is the central theme.

EUROPA stamps underline cooperation in the posts domain, aimed at promotion of philately. They also build awareness of the common roots, culture and history of Europe and its common goals.

As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world.

Since the first issue in 1956, EUROPA stamps have been a tangible symbol of Europe's desire for closer integration and co-operation.

In 1993, PostEurop became responsible for issuing EUROPA stamps.

When CEPT decided to focus more on telecommunications in 1993, PostEurop took over the management of the Europa issues. The CEPT logo was replaced by a new logo created by PostEurop i.e. the word "EUROPA" leaning towards the right hand side.

Each year, PostEurop's "Stamps & Philately Group" selects the EUROPA stamp theme:

PostEurop writes in their press release this about the story of the design:

Designers: Klaus Welp who produced numerous Finnish stamps, including many EUROPA stamps (2011 ; 2015 ; 2018).

The design proposal of Bosnia and Herzegovina arrived 2nd and the one of Luxembourg 3rd.

Says Klaus Welp:

"In today’s turbulent world, there is an increasing need for peace, unity, and a strong community spirit, as well as reliable communication systems.

A well-functioning national postal service is a fundamental pillar for democracies, providing security and connectivity for citizens.

It was an honour to participate in this design competition and celebrate the 70th anniversary of PostEurop with this small piece of graphic art.

As a designer, it is immensely gratifying to know that this stamp will be printed and published in so many European countries and shared across the globe.

At the start of the design process, I explored several visual concepts for the stamp. Together with Tommi Kantola, Design Manager at Posti, we refined one of these concepts into the final, winning proposal. With more than two decades of collaboration and over 120 stamp projects, our teamwork once again resulted in a successful outcome.

The design of the 2026 EUROPA Stamp combines abstract and symbolic elements.

The diagonally ascending dotted line represents both the perforation of a stamp and the progressive work of the PostEurop.

The seven dots, connected by a straight line, symbolise seventy years of unified effort by postal operators across the continent.

The blending gradients and dotted patterns in the background form a cohesive and vibrant surface, reflecting the joyful mix of colours from the European flag and symbolising the unity of all member nations."
