SingPost launched Singapore’s first national Philately website on 9 Oct 2026 to preserve six decades of postal heritage and over 500 stamp issues since 1966.
The portal offers stamp archives, designer interviews, educational articles and event listings, and features rare highlights like the 2008 Peranakan Heritage issue.
SingPost also released a new lenticular stamp set for World Post Day 2026, which collectors praised for its interactive design and nostalgic appeal.
SINGAPORE – Stamp collectors and those interested in Singapore’s postal heritage can now browse stamp issues spanning six decades on a website launched by SingPost on Oct 9.
Marking World Post Day 2026, the portal, philately.singpost.com , is the country’s first comprehensive national philately website, said SingPost.
It features over 500 national stamp issues released since 1966, a year after Singapore gained independence.
SingPost said that one of the most highly sought after stamps is the 2008 Peranakan Heritage issue, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship synonymous with the beaded shoes worn by the Nonyas.
The pouch-shaped miniature sheet made history as the world’s first beaded stamp, crafted with intricate caviar beads.
The bead sheets were pasted carefully onto each stamp with a hot iron press, according to the portal.
It also features other content like behind-the-scenes interviews with stamp designers, educational articles and a calendar of upcoming philatelic events.

Other initiatives to mark World Post Day include the digital stamp – a first in Asia – that users can buy on the SingPost app during a public trial and use it for domestic delivery including letters and postcards.
SingPost has also released a set of two stamps featuring images that change when tilted. One transforms the modern-day Fullerton Hotel into the former General Post Office in 1928, while the other shows a contemporary postal worker becoming a mid-century postman delivering mail on foot through kampungs.
Titled Then & Now, the collaboration between SingPost and The Straits Times is Singapore’s first stamp issue to feature lenticular effects.
Collectors who received their orders on Oct 9 appreciated the blend of nostalgia and innovation.

“I bought four sets of the lenticular stamps ,” retiree Tan Kan Buey, 95, said in Mandarin.
“Being a stamp collector since I was 10, I feel that this is the first stamp in Singapore that is especially unique, as it is interactive and changes at every angle.”
Eddie Yong, 67, a retiree who has been a stamp collector for decades, said: “I think the lenticular stamps are a refreshing approach. No one would have thought they would make these into stamps.”

新加坡邮政于 2026 年 10 月 9 日推出了新加坡第一个国家集邮网站，以保存六十年的邮政遗产和自 1966 年以来发行的 500 多枚邮票。
该门户网站提供邮票档案、设计师访谈、教育文章和活动列表，并重点介绍 2008 年土生华人文化遗产邮票等珍稀亮点。
新加坡邮政还为 2026 年世界邮政日发行了一套新的立体邮票，其互动设计和怀旧魅力受到了收藏家的称赞。
新加坡——集邮爱好者和对新加坡邮政历史感兴趣的人士现在可以在新加坡邮政于 10 月 9 日推出的网站上浏览跨越六十年的邮票发行情况。
为庆祝 2026 年世界邮政日，新加坡邮政表示，philately.singpost.com 门户网站是该国第一个综合性国家集邮网站。
该邮票集收录了自 1966 年（新加坡独立一年后）以来发行的 500 多枚国家邮票。
新加坡邮政表示，最受欢迎的邮票之一是 2008 年土生华人文化遗产邮票，展现了娘惹鞋的精湛工艺。
这款袋状小全张创造了历史，成为世界上第一枚珠饰邮票，采用精美的鱼子酱珠子制成。
据该网站称，珠片是用热熨斗小心地粘贴到每个印章上的。
它还包含其他内容，例如邮票设计师的幕后采访、教育文章和即将举行的集邮活动日历。

为庆祝世界邮政日，其他举措还包括推出数字邮票——亚洲首创——用户可以在新加坡邮政应用程序上进行公开试用，并将其用于国内邮件递送，包括信件和明信片。
新加坡邮政还发行了一套两枚邮票，邮票上的图案会随着倾斜角度而变化。一枚邮票将现代的富丽敦酒店变成了1928年的旧邮政总局，另一枚邮票则展现了一位现代邮政工作人员变成20世纪中期的邮递员，在乡村地区步行送信的场景。
新加坡邮政与《海峡时报》合作推出的这套名为《今昔对比》的邮票，是新加坡首套采用立体效果的邮票。
10 月 9 日收到订单的收藏家们对怀旧与创新的融合表示赞赏。

“我买了四套立体邮票，”95岁的退休老人陈干武用普通话说。
“我从10岁就开始集邮，我觉得这是新加坡第一枚特别独特的邮票，因为它具有互动性，而且从每个角度看都会有所不同。”
67岁的退休人士埃迪·杨（Eddie Yong）是一位集邮爱好者，他收藏邮票已有数十年之久。他说：“我认为立体邮票是一种令人耳目一新的设计。谁也没想到他们会把这些图案印成邮票。”
