China Post to Issue RFID Tags Stamps: A New Era in Philately

China Post is about to issue RFID stamps: a new era of philately is coming!

Recently, China Post is preparing to launch a special stamp again – an RFID Tags smart stamp with a “chip”. This stamp is not only beautiful and collectible, but also can interact with mobile phones, just like “equipping stamps with a brain”. This also marks another big step forward for China Post in security technology and digitalization.

What is an RFID stamp?

Simply put, RFID is a small chip that allows stamps to “speak”. Just stick it with your mobile phone, and you can “hear” the stamp tell its identity, such as the number, authenticity information, and even show exclusive little secrets. As early as 2020, China Post issued a set of such stamps to commemorate the national stamp selection event. Now, they are coming back again!

Why put a chip in the stamp?

1. Anti-counterfeiting is even more powerful
This small chip is like the “ID card” of the stamp. Each one is different and it is difficult for others to forge. It can also record how many times it has been scanned and when it has been scanned, further improving security.

2. Scan with your phone and you will know all the information
This stamp uses the 13.56MHz NTag215 chip, which can be used with most mobile phones and tablets. You only need to scan it with a mobile phone with NFC function to see the stamp number, encrypted information, and even open a link to learn more.

3. Collection becomes more interesting
Each stamp has its own chip ID, just like giving the stamp a unique name. This makes stamp collecting more meaningful, and collectors can also “know” their stamps through their mobile phones, which increases the sense of interaction and fun.

Summary

RFID smart stamps not only have strong anti-counterfeiting capabilities, but can also interact with mobile phones, making stamp collecting more fun and more valuable. It combines traditional stamps with modern technology and is a major upgrade in the stamp world. In the future, stamp collecting will no longer be just “sticking stickers”, but will enter a new era where you can “read, play, and learn”!
