Optional bilingual designs for Royal Mail 24™ Signed For
and Royal Mail 48™ Signed For.You can find the new bilingual Welsh/English PPI designs below for Royal Mail 24™ Signed For and Royal Mail 48™ Signed For.
Royal Mail 24™ Signed For and Royal Mail 48™ Signed For bilingual PPI designs now contain three elements. The service graphic box, the 'Delivered by Royal Mail' mark and the delivery speed indicator.
