Choosing the right rubber stamp depends on what you need it for. Small stamps are ideal for names and inspection marks, medium stamps work well for addresses and business information, while larger stamps are recommended for logos and detailed artwork. If you're unsure, our Stamp Finder Tool will recommend the most suitable option.

A small stamp suits one or two lines of text. Medium stamps are ideal for addresses and business details, while larger stamps provide enough space for logos and branding.

For most businesses, a medium self-inking stamp such as the Trodat 4913, Colop C40 or Stamp Design 4U Imprint 12 provides the perfect balance of size, durability and print quality.

Self-inking stamps contain their own ink pad, making them faster and cleaner to use. Traditional rubber stamps require a separate ink pad and are often chosen for specialist inks or occasional stamping.

Premium brands such as Trodat, Colop and Shiny are designed to produce thousands of impressions before requiring a replacement ink pad. With normal care, the stamp body itself can last for many years.
