1980-1994 klein-formaat frankeerzegels - small-sized definitives:

Poland is well-known for its giant-sized stamps. The definitives however are issued mainly in one of the two standard-sizes:

perforation gauge teeth h/v
11 1/4:11 1/2 12/15
11 1/4:11 1/2 15/18

The smaller size is used almost exclusively for the definitives. Until 1980 these were mostly printed in recess in either the WIFAG or GOEBEL-1 reel-fed press. Coil-stamps - although the PWPW could have printed them on the WIFAG-press - were ordered in Leipzig, the VEB Wertpapierdruckerei had to print all the COMECON-countries' coil-stamps in photogravure.
