One specific type of stamp that is gaining increasing attention is non-priority stamps. These stamps are an attractive option for senders and recipients, especially in an era when speed and cost control are important considerations. ## What are non-priority stamps? Non-priority stamps are stamps used for sending non-urgent mail items. Unlike priority postal services, which guarantee speed but at a higher cost, non-prior stamps offer a more economical option for dispatch. These stamps are used for items for which rapid delivery is not an absolute requirement. ## Advantages of non-priority stamps 1. **Cost savings:** One of the most obvious benefits of the use of non-priority stamps is the cost savings. For companies that regularly send invoices, reports or other documents, non-prior stamps can be a cost-effective solution, especially for large volumes. 2. **Flexibility:** Non-priority stamps offer flexibility in terms of delivery time. While priority postal services guarantee speed, non-priority stamps can be used for items for which delivery time is less critical. This is especially useful for items such as newsletters, promotional materials or general correspondence. 3. **Environmental friendliness::** Owing to the fact that non-prior stamps have a less urgent delivery times, postal services can be organised more efficiently. This can lead to a reduction in the ecological impact of transport, such as fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. ## Postal rates in 2026 for letters within Belgium Bpost is increasing the postal rates for mail within Belgium in 2026.
