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

Here is the latest addition to this collection. 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.
