Private Cards.
-
Private cards, including pictorial cards, bearing adhesive stamps may also be used as post-cards. They must be composed of ordinary cardboard not thicker than that used for post-cards of the post-card pattern, and sufficiently stout not to hinder manipulation. The size must not be more than 5½in. by 3½in., and not less than 4½in. by 2½in. Single cards and reply-cards for places within New Zealand may be entirely plain, but reply-cards for places beyond New Zealand must bear the words “Post-card with Reply Paid,” and “Post-card Reply.” To other than English-speaking countries these words must appear in French, “Carte Postale avec Réponse Payée,” “Carte Postale—Réponse.” They are otherwise treated like officially issued post-cards.
-
Private cards will be received from the public, and impressed with the penny postage-stamp. The rates for such impressing are the same as for embossing envelopes, which see under “Postage and Revenue Stamps, &c.” (page 24).

For transmission by book-post as a “commercial paper” or “printed paper” an article must be posted either without a cover or in a cover entirely open at one or both ends, or in an open envelope with the flap turned inside.
