The Fox Glacier is set in Westland National Park. The park covers a vast territory - as spectacular as the glacier itself - sprawling from flat farmland near the coastline all the way up to the summit of the Main Divide of the Southern Alps (3498 metres) in the east. In addition to coastline and grassy flats, the park is also home to abundant rain forests, stunning lakes, deep gorges and of course, two of New Zealand's largest glaciers (Fox and The Fox Glacier,

Dear Stamp Enthusiast, At the time of writing, my company has been producing postage stamps for just one year. During that time we have produced almost 100 million stamps - each one a mini-masterpiece of design and printing quality. People ask me "why print stamps?". I suppose the answer is "challenge"! Stamp printing represents to us the ultimate test in quality, requiring twice as much detail as ordinary high quality colour printing. In addition, an enormous amount of accuracy in colour reproduction

and perforating is required and the printing environment must be strictly controlled at all times. By this I mean controlling temperature, humidity and any other factors which might affect the stability of the paper. If not controlled these could cause movement across the grain of the paper, giving a wavy look to the paper edge and causing registration problems. Using a water soluble gum means we need to be very careful about humidity levels during production. These areas are all carefully monitored in our factory. I hope you continue to enjoy the issues we produce -

we're proud of them ...

Yours sincerely
