The full color gloss stickers measure 6.5cm x 4.5cm. They were issued singularly in an almost see-through white packet as a free promotional give-away, with food products produced by Panrico.
At least 4 stickers featuring the Phantom or characters in the Phantom storyline where produced. Below we see 2 stickers featuring the Phantom, plus one each of Diana and Rex.
The rear of the stickers are void of information or branding, as the backing of the sticker is designed to be removed and discarded, with the sticker to be placed on a designated surface by the owner. A sample can be seen below.
