Two commemorative stamps were issued, complete with the names of the official Games mascots, Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics Games. There are 22 characters of "Beijing 2022" on the white background of the two stamps.

Moreover, the design for the inaugural  set of stamps is ingenious with 22 snowflakes inscribed on the edge of the stamps, further creating a dynamic atmosphere of ice and snow sports which designers interpreted as a symbol of the purity that of ice and snow.
