Ukrainian resistance to Russian aggression through Philately - Welcome to join !
Postmark: an official mark stamped on a letter or other postal package, giving the place, date, and time of posting, and serving to cancel the postage stamp.
Modern postmarks are often applied to mark that the postage stamp has been used in order to prevent reuse.
Postmarks may be applied by hand or by machines, using methods such as rollers or inkjets, while digital postmarks are a recent innovation.
Commemorative postmarks are usually larger than regular Circular Date Stamp (CDS) and contain an extra image and/or some special text to sign some event of anniversary.
Usually commemorative postmarks are round or rectangular, but can be also free form.
Sometimes it is split in two parts: regular date postmark and commemorative image or text attached to it. [R1]
