Post & Go Faststamps were introduced on 8th October 2008 from a kiosk in a post office at The Galleries in Bristol.

Since that time Faststamps have been made available at more and more outlets across the UK, mainly in Post Offices, but also from exhibitions national & international, local stamp shows & fairs as well as kiosks (or machines) in high street stores.

The kiosks or machines have changed considerably in the short time since their inception, and improved considerably. Below is a pictorial summary:-

Wincor-Nixdorf

This type of machine (Kiosk) was the standard installed at all the Post Offices across the UK, until 2014.

Hytech PostalVision

Spring Stampex 2011 trial machine.

Kiosk Nos. 21 & 22

Hytech V1

Machine as used at the Autumn Stampex 2011

Kiosk Nos. 91, 92, 93 & 94.

Machine as used at the Spring Stampex 2012

A modification was carried out to prevent customers from pulling the stamp strip during printing and thus generating errors. This comprised a guard over the slot where the stamp strips were delivered.

Kiosk Nos. 21, 22, 23 & 24

Royal Mail Series I (Also known as Hytech V2)

First appearance at Autumn Stampex 2012

Kiosk Nos. A1, A2, A3, A4 & A5 B1 & B2

NCR

Known as Self Service 'Postal Kiosks' (SSKs)

The NCR machine appeared early in 2014, and before the year was out had replaced almost all the Wincor-Nixdorf machine in the UK

As well as the standard 6 stamp values (1st Class and Overseas) the NCR machine can dispense 2nd Class (Standard & Large, up to 100g). In addition it can dispense a whole range of "Open Value" stamps for letters, parcels, including Special Delivery, Tracked, Signed For, and differing VAT codes.

Basically, the NCR machines can process almost all Royal Mail and Parcelforce products that are usually only available at the counter.

Royal Mail Series II

Supplied by Intelligent AR Ltd First appearance at Spring Stampex 2014

The machine is capable of dispensing the standard 6 values of stamps and the two 2nd Class values, as it has a 2 reels.

Kiosk Nos. A001 to A014 B001 & B002 B003 C001 & C002 GG01 & GG02 GI01 to GI03 J001 (later to be re-numbered as JE01) & JE02 QA01 & QA02

II JE02 permanently installed at Broad Street, St. Helier, Jersey A011 to A012 & ES01 ES01 permanently installed at CCP Chamartin, Madrid, Spain (With smaller rectangular base)

Royal Mail Series II +

This is the standard RM Ser. II machine with a "Pod" bolted to the side giving the unit the capability of dispensing stamps from a total of 4 reels.

Kiosk No. A001+

On or about 24-Oct-16, the third printer in centre of the bolted-on pod, has been set-up to print stamps. So A001+ is now capable of supplying 5 different designs at any one time.

Royal Mail Series II - M (or Mail centres) Series

Supplied by Intelligent AR Ltd

First appearance at Crewe and Bradford North Enquiry Offices 9th February 2015

In addition to the facility of having two reels / printers the M Series can perform other functions. These machines also accept payment for 'Postage Due', VAT and Customs Duty. A receipt is issued, that can then be given to the office staff for collection of the letter / package. It is envisaged that further duties will be available in the future.

Since the beginning of 2016, these kiosks no longer show on-screen the design of the stamps being dispensed, only the indication of 1st Class or 2nd Class. As these machines are primarily for postal, and non-philatelic use, the design of stamp is irrelevant, making operation and maintenance simpler.

The datastring is a series of numbers, or numbers and letters at the bottom left of a Post & Go Faststamp.

Decoding this datastring provides considerable information as to the origins of the stamp.

Presentation Packs & First Day Covers from Tallents House

In the beginning the stamps for Presentation Packs and Royal Mail FCDs were printed by Walsall and totally in gravure

P&G 1 020511 1 08445 01 The Datastring is fictitious, it suggests that it was from Bristol (020511), from kiosk No.1 and session No. 08445 It was actually printed by Walsall Security Printers and issued from Tallents House. However, the item No. does refer to the stamp value and are numbered, 01 to 05 01 - 1st Class 02 - 1st Large 03 - Europe Up to 100g 04 - Worldwide Up to 20g 05 - Worldwide Up to 10g

From now on the datastrings are more meaningful and can be de-cyphered as follows:- However, the Session No. 51840 is still fictitious, but some thought has gone into its creation: 51840 written as a date i.e. 5/1840 does suggest May 1840 which is a notable date!

Following the lead of the GB datastrings for Presentation Packs and FDCs where the session No. is the year of the first issued stamp, i.e. 1840, the first time it was used was for Birds of Britain I - 002010 1 51840 02 (May 1840). Subsequently, from the Open Values issue, B7GB14 C001-1840-015

Jersey followed suit with their Protected Species issue, B2JE15 B002-1969-002, and again with the Crests of Jersey set, B2JE16 B002 1969 003. 1969 being the year that Jersey established their own independent postal administration and introduced their own stamps.

Likewise Guernsey's first Flag set was issued with the datastring of B2GG15 B002-1969-001, and the Bailiwick Life set, B2GG16 B002 1969 002. Again, 1969 being the year that Guernsey established their own independent postal administration and introduced their own stamps

Similarly, when Gibraltar joined the Post & Go family, their official FDC had stamps with the datastring, B5GI15 B002 1886 001. 1886 being the year that stamps specifically marked Gibraltar were issued, they were stamps of Bermuda overprinted as such.

The placement of Post and Go machines in the Royal Mail Enquiry Offices at Crewe (A003) and Bradford North (A004) on 3rd December 2014 had been reasonably successful, and was extended for a further 6 months.

On 9th February 2015, due to exhibition requirements the two existing kiosks were replaced by two new kiosks, M002 in Crewe and M003 in Bradford North, and carried location Identifiers “Crewe” and “Bradford N” respectively. These machines also accept payment for 'Postage Due', VAT and Customs Duty. A receipt is issued, that can then be given to the office staff for collection of the letter / package.

On the 30th March 2015, at the tariff change, the Location Identifiers were removed, leaving the machine (or kiosk) number as the only identifying element in the datastring.

Following the trial use of Royal Mail II Post and Go machines at Crewe and Bradford North three new Enquiry Office Post and Go machines will go live from 27 April 2015 as part of the ongoing trial. The list so far being:-

Faststamps are produced from stock, rolls of stamps with images ready for the thermal printing of the value, datastring and overprint (where needed) and are usually printed in a single run, so colour matching is not normally a concern. The exception being the Machin Head (1st and 2nd Class) and Union Flag designs.

The Machin Head stamp first issued in 2008 was printed by Walsall Security Printers of Walsall in a shade of sepia, or olive, known as ‘Horizon Green’. All stamps with no date code (NDC), MA13 and MA14 are in this colour.

Following the formation of International Security Printers and the move of production to Wolverhampton the colour was matched using the Pantone system, but the outcome was a ‘yellower’ shade than previous. Stamps printed on the new press with the new colour have the date code MA14 and MA15.

Near the end of 2015 the Royal mail became aware of the colour change and insisted that ISP revert to the original shade. Stamps having code MA16 will be to the original colour.

NDC, MA13 & MA14 Original Olive MA14 & MA15 Yellow Olive MA16 and onward Original Olive

Due to stock control of the rolls of stamps at various locations it will take some considerable time for the original colour to fully work throught the system.
