Mail postage has been part of New Zealanders’ daily communication for generations. Since the release of the fi rst New Zealand stamp on 18 July 1855, many millions of stamps have departed these shores. Over time, they create an ever-evolving historic gallery that helps form perceptions of New Zealand and its people at home and abroad. James Te Puni, Sales and Marketing Manager for New Zealand Post’s stamps business, says the spirit of refl ecting themes important to New Zealanders remains alive today. “Our stamp team takes very seriously the legacy of marking and honouring signifi cant milestones, achievements, culture, people and stories. We put tremendous energy and expertise into researching and developing each stamp issue.” He says close relationships lie at the heart of New Zealand Post’s approach to developing the concepts and ideas for the stamp programme.
