Self Inking Stamps Key Terms


Offering the convenience of crisp, cleanly stamped images without the added bother of a messy ink pad, self inking stamps are ideal for everything from business correspondence to educational uses and craft projects. Keep up with industry trends and manufacturer offerings by learning terminology like “dual stamp pad,” “pocket stamps” and “impression area” that cover the features and accessories available on the rubber stamps. Knowing which features you or your customers need will allow you to order the proper stamping units from manufacturers or wholesalers.

Dual stamp pad

Get extra use out of your self inking stamps by purchasing dual stamp pads that have a back up ink pad built into the unit. A simple change out will keep the stamp making crisp, clean impressions without buying an ink refill.

Impression area

Consider the stamp's impression area before ordering to ensure you can fit all of the information you need onto the stamp in a font size that's easy to read.

Pocket stamps

Those who need to stamp on the go or transport self inking stamps in a briefcase or tote will appreciate pocket stamps. Featuring a fold-away design, the stamp is ready for use, but conceals the inked portion to prevent messy accidents.

Ergonomic handle

Employees using self inking stamps on stacks of paperwork or envelopes will appreciate models with ergonomic handles to reduce hand and muscle fatigue. Look for versions with handles that sit in the palm of the hand and feature a fluid stamping mechanism for easy punching.

Deep molded bands

When considering product features for self inking stamps, look for versions with deep molded bands. Because the letters, numbers or graphics stand out farther than regular bands, the images you generate with the stamps will be less smudged and easier to read.

Signature stamp

Save time if your signature is required on multiple documents by creating a self inking signature stamp that can add your name in seconds. Most companies allow you to send a scan of your signature to create an accurate stamped image.
