To order or exchange the stamps, forms were printed, where one could fill in th emissing stamps. Two examples of these are:
People received their stamps in small packages when buying the coffee from Koffie Hag or Koffie Sanka. To complete the albums it was possible to exchange duplicate pictures or to buy or order by coupon additional stamps. For this special forms were printed and provided with the albums. The form could also be used to order the stamp sheets or the books published by the company.
