BUYING GUIDE
How to Choose an Address Stamp
Start with the wording, then compare the available impression sizes. A clear layout is more useful than squeezing too much into a smaller stamp.
STEP 1
Count the lines
Include the name, street, town or city and postcode. A compact return address may need fewer lines than a full business address.
STEP 2
Allow room for clarity
Long business names and wide address lines need more width. Move up a model when text would otherwise become too small.
STEP 3
Choose a practical format
Self-inking stamps are convenient for regular paperwork because the ink pad is built into the stamp body.
