Small Stamps

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.

Black and blue are versatile for general business use, while red is often used for attention or status marking. Make sure the colour remains readable when copied or scanned.

Store the stamp away from heat, replace worn pads promptly and use it on flat, suitable surfaces. Do not force the mechanism if it becomes obstructed.
