History of the Rubber Stamp

history of stamps

The History of Early Stamps

The history of the rubber stamp is long and colorful. Did you know that some of the first stamps were actually made of mud? In ancient India, mud was used to make molds that were used as stamps. Colored juice from fruit, flowers, bark, and other natural materials were used as ink. Some cultures cut impressions into thick animal hides to use as stamps. Talk about a stamp that is hard to refill! Although, it’s safe to say these types of stamps were long-lasting and resilient.

Brass stamps were used for hundreds of years to seal private documents with wax, imprinting the hot wax with the crest of the owner. The theory was that no one could spy on a sealed document without breaking the seal. Now we just use envelopes. You can generally tell when those are tampered with as well, but are much less messy and less likely to burn your fingers when sealing them.

The History of the First Rubber Stamp

Rubber stamps, on the other hand, are more of a recent invention. Rubber was discovered in the Amazon River Basin in 1736 by the French explorer Charles Marie de la Condamine. Cubes were made of the raw rubber and used as pencil erasers, but the raw rubber was unstable. When the temperature rose, the cubes turned to jelly — not very effective as an eraser.

The exact history of the very first rubber stamp is a matter of much debate, but a common belief is that Charles Goodyear was the first to discover the process of creating vulcanized rubber — far more stable than natural rubber — when he accidentally dropped some rubber and sulphur on the stove somewhere between 1839 and 1844 — the exact date differs depending on the source. This lead to Goodyear patenting the process in 1844 and the eventual development of the rubber stamp. Fun fact: Goodyear named the process vulcanization after the Roman god of fire, Vulcan.

The original rubber stamp is rumored to have been created around 1866 by James Woodruff when he took the molding techniques used by dentists and applied them to letter molds. Some time later, mechanical date and letter stamps gained worldwide popularity. By the end of the nineteenth century they became common place in post offices and business workplaces.

3 Easy and Creative Ways to Store Your Rubber Stamps

Rubber stamp collectors understand how essential it is to keep their stamps appropriately stored. Proper storage will prolong the life of the stamp and ensure it is easy to find when you need it. There are many things to consider when storing your stamps. They should always be stored in a cool and shady area of your home or office. Storage in darker areas ensures that the stamps don’t get too dry, which reduces the quality. Are you tired of storing your rubber stamp collection in a drawer or shoebox? Here are three easy and creative ways to store your rubber stamps that will preserve their quality.

  1. Store in a hanging shoe holder in your closet.  Keeping your rubber stamps in a hanging shoe holder in your closet it a great way to save space. Since most closets are dark and window-free, this option also helps to ensure the long-lasting quality of the stamps. Just make sure that your heavier stamps are placed at the bottom of a pile, so they don’t put too much weight on smaller stamps. You can use the extra pockets for storing additional craft or office supplies.
  2. Install shelving behind a door. If you have an extensive stamp collection, this is another convenient and creative storage option. Shelves should be smaller than the length and width of the door for full coverage when open. The shelves should also be no wider than the what is needed to hold your largest stamp so that the door can open fully without damaging any of the stamps. 
  3. Keep your stamps sealed in a three-ring binder. For expert organization and preservation, consider storing your stamps in sealed pockets within a large binder. One advantage of binder storage is the ease of location. Keep your binder on the desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet. Make sure that it has a label for easy access to your stamp collection. Keep the stamps sealed in heavyweight sheet protectors than can easily be reopened and closed with each use.

Each of these creative storage options will keep your stamps in excellent condition for years to come. To learn more about the best rubber stamps on the internet, call our customer service hotline at 1-850-7STAMPS or visit our website today!

Traditional vs. Pre-Inked vs. Self-Inking: What’s the Difference?

High-Quality Rubber Stamps

With all of the different types of high-quality rubber stamps we sell, it can be difficult to figure out what sets them apart and which variety is best for your purposes. To help clear things up, here’s what you need to know about the three most common types of rubber stamps – traditional, pre-inked and self-inking – in order to choose the right one for your needs:

  • Traditional Rubber Hand Stamps – When most people think of a rubber stamp, this is what comes to mind. Unlike self-inking and pre-inked stamps, traditional rubber hand stamps are a bit old-school, as they require you to use a separate ink pad each time you want to create an impression. While this may seem inconvenient, it’s actually a good thing in many instances because it allows you to alternate ink colors with the same stamp. So if you’re going to be using your stamp for crafts or some other purpose that requires a variety of ink colors, the classic rubber hand stamp is probably your best bet, as it will save you from having to buy a stamp for every ink color you’d like to use.
  • Pre-Inked Rubber Stamps – Not a fan of the separate ink pad? Pre-inked rubber stamps allow you to go without it, as they have oil-based ink molded right into the stamp. Simply press down and the ink will flow through the die plate inside of the stamp and create a clean, flawless impression. Best of all, pre-inked stamps are typically good for 50,000+ impressions, meaning you’ll hardly ever have to interrupt your stamping to re-ink them.
  • Self-Inking Rubber Stamps – Much like their pre-inked relatives, self-inking rubber stamps don’t require a separate ink pad. This is because the stamps are mechanically inked each time you press down on them. Another benefit of self-inking rubber stamps is that they use water-based ink, meaning they’ll never bleed or go through your papers. While they run out of ink much faster than pre-inked rubber stamps (usually they need to be re-inked after about 7,000 impressions), it’s easy to add more ink. Furthermore, self-inking stamps are a great choice for those seeking quick and simple stamping.

Now that you’re clear on the differences between the various types of high-quality rubber stamps we sell, it’s time to head over to our website and do some shopping! We offer a huge selection of classic, pre-inked and self-inking rubber stamps as well as replacement ink for all of these varieties.

4 Steps to a More Organized Office

Rubber Stamps For The Office

Is one of your resolutions for 2017 to become more organized? You’re in luck! Rubber Stamp Station has some great tips and tricks for making your office at home or work a less cluttered, more productive space in the new year:

  1. Get rid of unnecessary items – The start of the new year is the perfect opportunity to purge your office of unneeded things that are just taking up space and collecting dust. Look around your office and try to think of the last time you used each item. If it was more than a few months ago and you don’t foresee yourself needing the item in the near future, toss it. And as for office décor, get rid of anything that interferes with your productivity.
  2. Invest in desktop organizers – Once you’ve limited your office supplies to what you really need, it’s time to organize them in trays and containers on your desktop. To maintain the organizational system you create throughout the year, label each organizer to remind yourself what goes where.
  3. Pare down your filing cabinet – If it’s been a while since you last went through your filing cabinet, now is the time to do so! Sort out what things you can shred or throw away, what you can store digitally and what you need to keep a paper copy of.
  4. Purchase rubber stamps for the office – Another super easy way to keep your space organized is to use rubber stamps for the office. For instance, with our dater stamps, you can mark the date you received a document or the date when it can be discarded. Plus, using Trodat message stamps, you can indicate that a file has been copied, an invoice has been paid, data has been entered and much more. Finally, our text stamps are ideal for adding your company’s address or logo to a document without having to pick up a pen.

By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to create a workspace in which you can concentrate and get things accomplished.

How to Emboss Using Rubber Stamps

High-Quality Rubber Stamps

A few months ago, we gave you the scoop on the process of embossing and how you can use it for both creative and functional purposes. However, we didn’t tell you about the fact that our high-quality rubber stamps can be used for embossing. In order to emboss with rubber stamps, you’ll only need a few supplies:

  • High-quality rubber stamps, which you can design and order from our website
  • Card stock
  • A heat source, such as an embossing gun or a hair dryer
  • Embossing pigment or ink
  • Embossing powder

Once you’ve gathered these items, follow these seven easy steps to begin embossing with rubber stamps:

    1. Select the high-quality rubber stamp you would like to use and firmly press it into your embossing pigment or ink, making sure that the face of the stamp is coated evenly and fully.
    2. Choose the piece of card stock you’d like to emboss. Lay it on a flat surface and place your stamp on the card stock, applying a fair amount of pressure so that the ink/pigment will be transferred.
    3. Once you’ve done so, lift the high-quality rubber stamp straight up so that the impression isn’t smeared and set the stamp aside.
    4. Now, quickly sprinkle some embossing powder onto the stamp impression before the ink/pigment starts to dry. The powder will add a sparkly, metallic finish to the impression.
    5. Lift up the card stock and tilt it so that any excess powder falls back into the container. You may need to gently shake or tap the card stock to get it all off.
    6. To ensure that the embossing powder stays on your card stock, you’ll need to hold a heat source above the impression until the powder has been fully melted.
    7. Once the powder is melted and dry to the touch, you’re finished! Now, all that’s left to do is repeat the process with other high-quality rubber stamps if desired.

As you can see, it’s simple and quick to create gorgeous, impressive embossing impressions using high-quality rubber stamps and a few other inexpensive supplies!
