How to Choose the Right Custom Stamp

Maybe you’re thinking about using a regular wood stamp. Or maybe a self-inking one. Could also be a pre-inked stamp. Even a thing called an embosser. What stamp you pick matters. We want to help you find one that fits what you need.

Many kinds of stamps out there. Different types for rubber stamps. There are wood ones with handles. Also, ones that ink themselves. Plus, stamps with ink already inside. All types have their own good sides. Depends on what you want to do. There’s also another kind, called a stamp embosser. It’s a bit different.

Self-Inking Stamps

Self-inking stamps save space. You don’t need another ink pad. The ink part is inside already. When you press it, it inks by itself. You don’t do anything extra. The ink part comes out easy.

Pre-Inked Stamps

Pre-inked stamps stand out for a few things. Like how sharp the marks look. How many times it stamps. Also, how big the stamp mark gets. These use ink that’s oil-based. It moves through the back. That part is made of a special soft rubber. Because of that, the stamp gives very clear marks. Even tiny details or small writing come out nice. Bigger than self-inking stamps too. The space it can stamp is larger.
