Type 1, 38x21mm, handstamped (so alignment can vary considerably) onto sheets ofself-adhesive labels, 10 images on a sheet of 12 labels on an imperforate backing sheet. Sold at Ł1 a sheet.

2002

Types 2 to 11 (+ error type 3a), 38x21mm, computer printed onto self adhesive labels in sheets of 65 (10 rows of 5 + 3 rows of blank labels), on an imperforate backing sheet.

Types 12 to 21, 38x21mm, computer printed by the ESU's leader Tony Harden onto self adhesive labels in sheets of 65 (10 rows of 5 + 3 rows of blank labels), on an imperforate backing sheet. The sheets were cut into vertical strips of 10 before sale and the three blank labels at the bottom were also trimmed off. These were almost exactly as last year, but apparently the "Post" omitted error had been almost corrected prior to printing - row 2 stamp 1 now has the word "Post" included but the bottom fraction of each letter is still missing - this would only show in a complete strip with the "Avery" logo at the top. An unknown number of sheets in colour were also reprinted with the revised layout (see also 2005).

The sheets were cut into vertical strips of 10 before sale and the three blank labels at the bottom were also trimmed off. The sheets of labels used were not only the same as those used in 2002 (an Avery type called "Laser Guaranteed Jam-Free") - also another variety from Avery (J8651) & one apparently French-made called "Quick DRY". The print quality on the latter two papers is slightly better.
