The Spanish Rugby Federation and Correos have presented a new postage stamp dedicated to this sport. This issue is integrated into the philatelic series of sports and seeks to spread the values associated with rugby, such as nobility and teamwork. The philatelic piece represents an institutional recognition of the trajectory and culture of this sport in Spain.
The technology behind the philatelic issue: design and production 🖨️
The creation process of the stamp involves defined technical stages. It begins with the graphic design, where the composition that shows a symbolic scrum is defined. Digital illustration techniques are used to achieve precision in the details. Subsequently, in printing, the intaglio printing technique is used, which guarantees durability and quality in the reproduction of colors and textures. Each stamp goes through quality controls that verify sharpness and color registration before its issuance to the public.

It is likely that this stamp will experience unusual physical pressure. After franking congratulatory letters for a victory, it might end up on an envelope of complaint to a referee. Its true trial by fire will be to survive the enthusiasm of a collector who handles it with trembling hands after a decisive match. A small piece of paper that, like good rugby, must demonstrate its resistance to the onslaught of ordinary mail.
