27th January 1943 Vorbindezettel (Pre-tie slips)

Collective envelopes, pre-binding slips, pouch flags and sealing strips.

When letters were sorted, smaller quantities going to the same receiving post office (this also applied to payment cards, etc.) were placed in collection envelopes of various sizes. For larger quantities, bundles were made and a 'pre-binding slip' indicating the sending and receiving post office was pre-bound. The finished bundles of letters were packed in a letter bag (sack) and a slip - again indicating the sending and receiving post office - was attached, the 'pouch flag' pouch flags were used in letter and parcel services. Sealing labels were used when sealing damaged items.
