Dutch Postage stamps form the foundation of the postal issue system and play a central role within philately. They reflect official moments of issue and provide insight into design, tariff structure and postal usage, while also illustrating the ongoing development of graphic style and printing techniques over time.

Postage stamps directly reflect the postal policies of their time. Changes in tariffs, services and regulations result in new issues, adjustments in denominations and variations in format, paper type and printing techniques. As a result, stamps show not only what was sent, but also how postal services were organised and administered. Viewed in sequence, they reveal developments in tariff structures, patterns of use and technical production methods, making postage stamps primary sources within postal history and the evolution of postal systems.
Within a collection, postage stamps occupy a central and connecting position. They often serve as the reference point to which other issue formats, such as sheets, blocks or first day covers, are related. Chronological arrangement highlights changes in issue programmes and postal policy over time, while thematic grouping emphasises design concepts, motifs and visual language. This flexibility supports different collecting approaches and comparative perspectives without losing overall coherence and structural clarity.
Postage stamps lend themselves to a wide range of collecting strategies. Beginners use them as a clear and structured foundation for building a collection, while advanced collectors explore depth through varieties, postal usages, printing differences and specialised issues. Because postage stamps combine practical postal function with documentary value, they can grow alongside the collector and continue to form a stable basis within an evolving and increasingly detailed collection.
