Australia Post prepares to stamp 2007 AFL Premiers
Australia Post will be delivering joy to footy fans around the country this year with the release of a Souvenir Stamp Sheet celebrating the AFL Premiership team, within days of the 2007 AFL Grand Final.
Thanks to Australia Post’s hard working team of designers and national support team, the AFL Premiership stamp sheets will be available in all Australia Post metropolitan outlets from midday on Tuesday, 2 October 2007.
“The Souvenir Stamp Sheet will be a unique way for fans of the winning AFL team to celebrate their team’s premiership win” said Noel Leahy, Australia Post Group Philatelic Manager. “By making them available so quickly after the game, fans will not miss a second of the celebrations.”
“Australia Post is proud to support the AFL Grand Final in this way, and it is a winning performance by the Australia Post team each year to produce these stamps so quickly for footy fans”.
The 2007 AFL Grand Final features the top two teams from the 2007 AFL Premiership Season, Geelong Football Club and Port Power.
As soon as the final siren sounds on the 2007 Toyota AFL Grand Final on Saturday, the Australia Post team will kick into action. Design staff will select the best available images from the match and insert them into the Souvenir Stamp Sheet along with the team colours, team name, team logo, final score, AFL logo and the title “AFL Premiers 2007”.
The production team will then take over, printing thousands of stamp sheets throughout Sunday morning and delivering them to a distribution house. There they will be sorted, loaded onto the back of Australia Post delivery vans, and taken to Melbourne airport for distribution to selected Australia Post outlets around the country.
The 2007 AFL Premiership Souvenir Stamp Sheet will be available for $15.95 at selected participating Australia Post outlets or via mail order on 1800 331 794. Overseas customers can purchase online at http://www.auspost.com.au/stamps
