Hongkong 2017 - Children Stamps - Five Senses




Issue date 18 July 2017 

Hong Kong Post has issued a set of special stamps, entitled “Children Stamps – The Five Senses” with different printing effects to depict the five senses of hearing, sight, smell, taste and touch. 

HK$1.70 – The stamp for “Hearing” has sand powder applied to its surface by thermography. Rubbing the surface will make a sound.




HK$2.20 – The stamp for "Sight" has the round lens of the camera removed by die-cutting so you can peep in the hole and see the world through the lens of the camera.




HK$2.90 – The stamp for “Smell” is peach-scented.

HK$3.70 – The gum on the back of the stamp for “Taste” is vanilla-flavoured.

HK$5 – The basketball on the stamp for “Touch” is augmented by applying heat inflating ink (Thermography) to simulate the feel of a real basketball.
