Like for every country, the stamps were printed in sheets. Unfortunately I have no complete sheets, but based on the incomplete sheets, it can be concluded that the stamps were issued in sheets of 6 or 4 per row, with rows of 4 most common. The stamps were printed in sequence horizontally, but some strange combinations exist of 2 provinces in one sheet. I have no information how many rows per sheet were printed. | |||

===Information on coffee, Koffie Hag and heraldry=== | |||
These pages appeared on different parts of the albums, either on the back of an empty page, or as separate pages. | |||
The latter can be placed anywhere in the albums and are often absent. All pages are combined in the file below: | |||

== | ==Collecting== | ||
People could collect the stamps by collecting from the packages of coffee or by acquiring first coupons for the stamps and sending their order to a special department of the company in Amsterdam. Or by exchanging stamps with other collectors. | |||
== | ===Coupons=== | ||
To get the stamps for the albums the company issued coupons, similar as in the other countries. These coupons were added to the different products of the company, but were also printed on for example advertising material. Coupons could be exchanged for stamps or albums. See below for a number of examples of coupons issued. | To get the stamps for the albums the company issued coupons, similar as in the other countries.

Besides the coupons issued by Koffie Hag, some other (daughter) companies participated in the system, such as Ka-Aba and Makota. Below an example of a coupon issued by Makota Coffee and Tea and a booklet from Ka-Aba. <br> | |||

===Ordering=== | |||
People received their coupons (or sometimes stamps) when buying the coffee from Koffie Hag or Koffie Sanka. To complete the albums it was possible to exchange duplicate stamps or to buy or order by additional stamps. For this special forms were printed and provided with the albums. The form could also be used to order the album sheets, the books published by the company or other material. | |||
An example of a brochure with information how to order, can be seen [https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/cds/hag/nl/folder.pdf here]. | |||
Special lists for ordering or exchanging stamps: | |||

The lists were either published separately, or were part of larger brochures on the albums. See below for the brochures. | |||
Stamps were also sought after and exchanged by collectors for stamps of other companies, as shown in the advertisements below: | |||

===Organisation=== | |||
The stamps were issued by a separate department of the company, the Afdeeling Wapenzegels. They used their own stationery, but the arms were also used on the more generic stationery of the company. | |||

===International orders=== | |||
It was possible to obtain not only Dutch, but also stamps from other countries through the Dutch company. Instead of coupons, the stamps and albums were also sold normally after paying by bank transfer. The company thus issued price lists of the available material. | |||
Below an example of a price list from 1932. Not all countries had been issued at the time, or were not yet completed. | |||

Below an interesting price list of September 1940, just after the start of the Second World War. As the albums were ordered in other countries, is is mentioned at the end of the letter that delivery times are longer than usual and that the French and UK albums are not available at all (they are listed though). The Polish and Czechoslovak albums are not listed at all. | |||
