That was then, this is now

While going through some old files, I came across a clipping that someone sent me from a 1997 issue of Despatch Manager, a UK magazine for mailers. The small article notes the continuation of trials of self-adhesive coils in a box.

In the article, Royal Mail Product Manager Julia Brooksbank is quoted as saying, "Royal Mail has developed self-adhesive stamps for small businesses, but they will in no way replace traditional stamps, which will be as widely available as ever."

Times change.
