Shiny DIY Stamp Kits

Measure the area where the impression will appear, then include only essential information. A slightly larger stamp usually produces a clearer result than forcing too much content into a small impression area.

Choose a self-inking stamp for routine office work, counters and repetitive paperwork. Choose a traditional hand stamp when you need a very large design, a specialist ink or the ability to change ink type between jobs.

Re-inking an existing pad with a different colour can create contamination. Check that the replacement pad is compatible with the exact stamp model.

Correct storage helps keep ink distributed within the pad and reduces the chance of leakage. Follow any model-specific storage guidance.
