The postcard-collecting community has something truly special to celebrate this year: the launch of the World Postcard Day – Maps of the World series! 🎉

Created by Suaithai in Switzerland, the talented designer behind the already famous MOTW – Maps of the World series, this brand-new collection brings together 55 unique postcard designs, each shining a spotlight on countries and territories with the most active members on our favorite online postcard-exchange platform.

✨ What makes this series unique?

Each postcard is not just a pretty design - it’s a mini lesson in postal history and geography. Here’s what you’ll discover on every card:

Universal Postal Union facts – including the year each country joined the worldwide organization.
Stamp history – when the very first postage stamp was issued in that country.
Postal operator details – the name of the national postal service, along with how many post offices or postal counters operate today.
World map view – with a pink flag pin showing exactly where the country is located.
Community connection – approximate numbers of how many postcard enthusiasts from that country are registered on the online platform.

It’s like holding a slice of global postal heritage right in your hand!

🎨 Designed with passion, not machines

In a world flooded with computer-generated images, this series proudly stands apart. Each design is thoughtfully created by a real artist, ensuring authenticity and warmth—just like the postcards themselves.

📮 Why it matters

The World Postcard Day has been celebrated every year on October 1st since 2020 (as declared by worldpostcardday.com )

and this series is the perfect way to join the fun. By combining philately, postal history, and geography, it reminds us why postcards are so magical: they connect people, cultures, and stories across the globe.

🎉 Let’s celebrate together!

Whether you’re a passionate collector, a Postcrosser, or simply someone who loves learning about the world, this series is made for you. Swap them, send them, or treasure them—they’re more than postcards, they’re windows into global history.

So this year, let’s celebrate World Postcard Day not just with stamps and greetings, but with a colorful journey across 55 postcards that honor the heart of our community.
