What is the allowed format for my letters or cards?

Regular stamps or mourning stamps are still available but don’t guarantee the extra care and priority as the red mourning bag, for which we send automatic updates to your funeral service provider.

Each delivered card/letter will cost the price of a PRIOR sending (see Quantity-pricing for 0-50 g letters). If you were given the red bag by your funeral service provider, they will invoice you the full cost after the funerals. If you drop your letters/cards directly at the Post Office, you will pay the total amount upfront.

The mourning red bag can only be used letters or cards of standardized format:

• A4 folded in 3 (210 x 99 mm) or A4 folded in 4 (148 x 99 mm)
• Maximum thickness: 5 mm
• Minimum dimensions: 90 x 140 mm
• Maximum dimensions: 125 x 235 mm
• Rectangular only (not square)
• Less than 50 g

If your cards or letters exceeds these, send them with regular prior stamps, following the applicable rules.
