New De La Rue Horizon Machin Head Labels
Commencing 8th June 2009, The UK Post Office commenced an hitherto unannounced trial of a ‘Horizon label’ incorporating a Machin head. This new label, printed by De La Rue was a gold label incorporating a new type of security slit design, described as ‘thumbnail’ .
The purpose of this trial was to establish the ‘usability’ of such labels in a busy operational environment (Camden Town High St Crown Office, London NW1) with a view to a future rollout of the new design labels to further products (This initial trial was limited to all items posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery (Either the 1pm or 9am service).
A limited number of First Day Covers were produced – If you wish to purchase FDC s or other items please visit my Online Shope or my Ebay pages.
