Air Mail Label

All air mail items must bear the superscription "BY AIR MAIL". Blue airmail labels are available for this purpose free of charge at all post offices. The label should be affixed to the top left hand corner of the address side of the envelopes or close to the address on parcels and packets (close to each address if it is shown in more than one place on the item). Alternatively the words "BY AIR MAIL" may be written boldly on air mail items. In the case of parcels an air mail label must also be affixed to the Despatch Note if one is used.
