We don't have priority labels in my country (Like the ones in the picture). We do have self-adhesive customs declaration labels, would those be okay to use in this swap?

@OverMoon -- I'd say as long as they're of reasonable size (not like...address label sized) and they've got an adhesive back, they should work wonders for this swap. Plus it'd be cool to see the different types of labels.

I'm from the UK and I must say I've no idea as to what these are... in my Post Office you ask for what you need from behind a counter with a glass screen so I wouldn't even know what to ask for - and if I did, don't know if they'd give it to me without it being used immediately for a package! Any UKers who could help? Because this sounds awesome!

@theanswerisseven - Mailing labels like the ones in the picture are pretty much a US only thing. I think. You could use customs declaration labels, I think those are self-adhesive in the UK too?

Hmm.. not sure - as I say I'm not sure how to get hold of anything from behind the counter without 'needing it' - also, I think I've only ever had a custom's form filled in for me by the mail person. Is there anything else I could use?

USPS Priority Mail labels are ideal for street art/tag posts because they're disgustingly adhesive and almost impossible to tear off once they've been applied. I would say any form of adhesive mailing label is acceptable, as long as it has a decent sized dimension (no smaller than 4" x 3" ideally) and is fully adhesive.

It never occured to me that other countries may not have as generous a post office.

@theanswerisseven -- do you think you would be able to find labels larger than 4"x3" (I think this is roughly 11 cm x 8 cm) that are completely adhesive? if so, I would say those would be acceptable, even if they are not post office labels, as long as they meet the "decorated" criteria. :]

Hi, well, I've just ordered some large blank labels from ebay.. don't know how stick they'll be but hoping for the best! If that's okay I'll use those, and will try to incorporate a faux postage element into them, too. I'm just about to try my hand at artistamps, so perhaps I'll make the label look like a 2D envelope or package and 'cancel' my own stamps or something.

that sounds pretty awesome actually. I Personally, I'd love to see something with that much thought in it stuck up around my city! I'm going to update the swap description to include sized labels. :]

Ok cool! Also, is it okay for the artwork to be politically themed? [Hopefully nothing that would be super controversial in a group such as this, mind you] I was thinking feminist/anti-consumption/recycling?

yes please! politically themed street art is the best kind. rouse some passion in people!! most of mine are politically themed as well, but i'd love to recieve some of yours! (i'm secretly keeping my fingers crossed that i get you as a partner haha)
