Austria 2020 - Ski Tip Stamp
Issue Date 23 October 2020
Austria Post in a tribute to Skiing as a sport has issued an unusual odd-shaped stamp in the form of a ski tip made with a genuine ski coating.
As in the production of actual skis - a thin layer of aluminum-plastic composite was cut out to the shape of a ski tip using a CNC-controlled milling machine. The silvery surface of this aluminum composite was brushed, and when viewed from the side looks like the edges of a ski. Then a special acrylic glue was used to apply the yellow original ski coating, specially adapted in strength for the stamp.
