On August 10, 2026, PostNL will issue the New Dutch Design Gloed van het Moment stamps, the 3rd stamp sheet of this year in the New Dutch Design series. The series showcases the work of the future generation of Dutch graphic designers. The design of these stamp sheets was created during the 2024-2025 academic year by 2nd-year Graphic Design students at ArtEZ in Zwolle, in collaboration with Nicole Uniquole. The stamps bear the value indication 1 for mail weighing up to 20 grams with a destination within the Netherlands.
This year, the New Dutch Design series is once again dedicated to the theme of ‘celebration’, depicted in color and form. Each cohort of 2nd-year students is given the freedom each year to interpret this theme according to their own vision. For the 2025 stamps, the students developed the theme around various ‘rituals’. For the 2026 stamps, following a brainstorming session, the new cohort of students chose the call to action ‘make it colorful’. With 4 different stamp designs, they invite us to as they themselves have described it pause, let go, remember, and above all, celebrate existence.
The 3rd issue of August 10, a sheet with 6 special stamps in 2 different designs, is titled *Glow of the Moment*. Earlier this year, the *Returning Memories* stamp sheet was released on February 16, followed by *Taste the Atmosphere* on May 8. The final stamp sheet in the series, *Echo of the Celebration*, will be issued by PostNL on September 28. The stamps bear the value indication 1 for mail weighing up to and including 20 grams with a destination within the Netherlands.
