9 Vintage Postage Label Images
You know the look, that old-timey vibe of a vintage letter or postcard? Well, we’ve collected some beautiful images of vintage postal labels, perfect for your scrapbooking, or junk journal pleasure. If you’re looking for a little inspiration to add to your DIY projects these images will be perfect! Check out this amazing set of vintage postal label images below. You can use these to create your own custom labels for anything from letters, invitations, and announcements all the way down to making a DIY gift wrap or scrapbooking project. Be sure and check out the new Holiday versions that I just added at the bottom of the post too.
Black Postage Label Images
This is such a fun nostalgic looking Postage Label! I picked this one up years ago at the local Antique Mall back when we lived in Maryland. The original scanned version is above. It’s quite striking in with it’s cream and black color combo and those diagonal stripes are just so cheerful looking! Such a fun piece to use on mail art or to dress up a package for a friend in classic Vintage style.
And while the original is quite charming the way it is, here is a second version that I created without the text in the upper left hand corner. You can use the blank space to write your own message on it. Which might make it a little more useful.
Red Postage Label Images
And here we have another version of that same label above, but this time I created a cream and red version. Those red stripes make me think of Candy Canes! This one would be nice to use in Christmas and Holiday projects. I would make a really cute gift tag on a present I think. Also years ago, when I first offered these. World Label featured them on their blog. They made them in even more color options, plus they made them editable which is super cool and so useful! You can find the editable ones on the World Label Blog.
Red Vintage Gummed Label
This one isn’t really a Postage label, it’s a traditional old fashioned Red Gummed Label. I thought it worked well in this set though, so I’m adding it here! It’s a tiny little Vintage label, that was meant to write something small on it… like a few numbers or initials etc. I think it’s so cute!
Christmas Labels
These next two are ones that I created for the Holiday season. I thought you guys might be able to use these Christmas labels for your gifts and packages. This one is red and cream.
Fun Color Labels
Here is the latest addition to this collection. You may recognize this one from above. I’ve recreated it in a fun Bubble gum pink and white version. I hope you like it!

These lables are quite large. Unable to resize unlike your other images.
Just strange the way they are displayed.
Karen Watson says
Hi Pat, sorry about that! Looks like I messed up on that green one, I have corrected it and it should be the correct size now in the post. The other ones seem to be correct though. Is there another one besides the green one that you are having trouble with?
