Product Information

Wallace and Gromit foil the scheme of a criminal mastermind in The Wrong Trousers, a short film made in 1993. The sheet stamps are self-adhesive and free-form, each design being die-cut with one or two extruding elements. The miniature sheet is conventionally gummed and perforated. Strictly Come Dancing's Jayde Adams has 'explosive stage presence' and shares 'friendly chemistry' with partner Karen Hauer Speaking about the collaboration, Royal Mail’s director of external affairs and policy David Gold said: “This set of stamps will surely bring a smile to everyone’s face. These instantly recognisable, iconic animated characters have found a place in our hearts. We are certain they will add a bit of joy to any envelope.”

The coding will be available on “definitive” stamps – the regular everyday stamps featuring the profile of the Queen. Non-coded definitive and Christmas stamps will remain valid until January 2023.

Customers can scan the coding – which takes the form of a rectangular 2D barcode – in the Royal Mail app and will eventually be able to watch videos, information about services, or birthday messages and other greetings from senders. This is a sheet of only 8 stamps, ie the full set with no duplication. It's self-adhesive, so the stamps may not be materially different to those in sheets. In addition to the eight stamps, an exclusive miniature sheet, created specially for Royal Mail by Aardman, will also be available. David Gold, Director of External Affairs and Policy, Royal Mail said: “This set of stamps will surely bring a smile to everyone’s face. These instantly recognisable, iconic animated characters have found a place in our hearts. We are certain they will add a bit of joy to any envelope.”

We have had the pleasure of creating these films featuring these much-loved characters over the last 40 years, so it is a real honour for the studio to receive this royal stamp of approval.The miniature sheet stamps are 27 x 37 mm ( A Close Shave) 34 x 24 mm (remainder), all perforated 14.
