The rolls of King Edward VIII continued on from those of King George V photogravure rolls although only a limited set of 10 were issued from the full set of 20 due to the brief reign. The leaders were in the same colours as the stamps with text printed in black. All were continuously printed, except for the 2½d rolls, and were secured with pink ribbons and wax seals.
No 1½d (KLN) rolls were made as there was sufficient stock of King George V 1½d photogravure rolls in hand, no 2d (QRT) or 3d (CS) rolls were made as these value stamps were not printed, and no ½d and 1d (PO) sideways rolls were made.
All stamps issued in rolls of this reign were printed in photogravure by Harrison.
