The Relevance of Rubber Stamps in a Digital World


Do rubber stamps still have a place in this world of cell phone apps, tablets, computers and laser printers? The answer is a resounding YES!

The classic address stamp remains one of our top sellers, and is a cost-effective alternative to address labels, which run out and then need to be re-ordered. Address stamps are perfect for use on sales receipts. Repetitive hand-writing can be tiresome, and legibility may go downhill as your day progresses. A stamp allows you to serve your customers more efficiently. One big advantage of a stamp over a label is transparency. If you are using a stamp with red or green ink on your invoices and you accidentally stamp over something printed in black ink, you will still be able to read the black printing through the stamp impression.

Both logo and address stamps can be used by businesses to personalize paper bags that are given to customers after a sale.  This allows a business to order plain bags in bulk or to alternate designs as needed for holiday sales or special events.
Another top-selling product is the dater stamp. Even though a good deal of business correspondence is now electronic, a lot of paper still circulates through offices. A dater stamp can help you keep track of when an invoice arrived or was forwarded to another department and by whom. The simple act of stamping documents with this type of identifying information can save hours of time if you ever have to follow a paper trail.


With identity theft ever on the rise, security stamps are rapidly becoming one of our most popular products and are a quick and inexpensive way to remove personally identifying information from documents before sending them out to customers and vendors, or as an alternative to shredding prior to recycling.

Rubber stamps have long been used in scrap booking and printmaking. Some of our creative customers also use them for making impressions in clay. Perhaps you want to impress your signature or logo on a piece of pottery prior to firing? Then a plain rubber stamp may be a very affordable option for you.

These are just some of the contemporary uses our customers have for their rubber stamps. If you have a use for yours that is not mentioned here, please feel free to comment! We’d love to hear about it and may post your story on our Facebook page.
