#POSTBOX STOCKHOLM POSTEN SERIES#

Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö are designated the two-digit series, one for mailbox- and business addresses, and the second series for street addresses. Sven Nilsson (First, and last name) Roslagsgatan 10 (Street, and number) 113 51 Stockholm (Postcode, and geographic location) Two-digit positioning A single space is now the norm and capital letters are not required any more. Earlier recommendations said that a double space should be placed between the postcode and the geographic location and that the geographic location should be written in capital letters. The two-position group has larger varieties, whereas the smallest belongs to the five-digit positioning group.Īccording to the system, a space shall be inserted between the third and fourth digit. Mail delivery centers are divided into two-, three-, and five-digit positioning groups depending on the size of the geographical place. Excluded from the principle are postcodes beginning with number 1, which represent the capital city, Stockholm. The principle of numbering is that the lower the postcode, the further south the place is located. The Swedish postcode system is based on a five-digit number combination, divided into two groups of three and two digits. In 2008, Sweden was divided into more than 16,100 postcode areas. Since then, the postcode system has been essentially the same, but a slight reform was carried out during the mid-1990s as all remaining mail terminals were equipped with automatic mail sorting machines. In 1967, it was decided that postcodes would be introduced in Sweden as of May 12, 1968. Until 1968, mail in Sweden was sorted only according to geographic location, which meant that postal workers had to learn all mail centers in Sweden, and what particular mail trains served those places.
