Customized Postal Indicia

Postal indicia are markings on mail showing that postage has been prepaid by the sender. In May 2013, Canada Post offered its customers the opportunity to create simulated stamp "Customized Postal Indicia" which could be used for  "Addressed Admail", "Lettermail" and "Publication Mail" items. Examples of customized postal indicia are shown in this post.
