A custom hand stamp is available in all sorts of sizes to suit your needs. These stamps are priced by their size, width x height. Enter your ideal size and we can give you a price. They can be made to the millimetre size as you need them. A traditional hand stamp is excellent for marking paper bags. Their large size and lower cost at large sizes is ideal to get your brand on shopping bags.
This is the ideal paper bag stamp. But it doesn’t stop there with large stamps. These custom hand stamps can be used for really small items like loyalty card stamps, coffee cup stamps, AML stamps for lawyers and accountants and financial institutions. A hand stamp has been used for a very long time for Common Seal stamps as well.
The hand stamp is ideal for placing and curving around the perimeter of curved items like coffee cups and jars. It is important to identify the surface and correct ink type requirements for these varied surfaces. We have developed a technique for making soap stamps and clay stamps. These can have a deep tapered image up to 3-4mm deep to press into a firm surface like a clay or a soap.
Any shape is possible, we cut the base plate to your requirement. Use your image or text or have both image and text. Only your imagination is the limit here. For a circle shape stamp the height of the ink pad will limit the size. Think 63mm maximum diameter on the small ink pad, 83mm round maximum on the medium pad and 120mm maximum on the really large ink pad.
Send us your image as a vector file or pdf vector image file preferably as these work better generally in our engraving machine.
Priced by their size Width x Height mm of the final stamp size.

Up to $202.00 at 153 x 83mm maximum size in a 160 x 90mm stamp ink pad.
Or for the hugely expensive 230 x 130mm massive ink pad the stamp at maximum size to fit is $334.00.
Our hand stamps are very basic. Function is their purpose rather than beauty. Generally these were introduced to the product range to compliment the self-inking stamps in larger or unusual sizes or for those people who like the tradition of a hand stamp.
Created the same size round handle which is very comfortable in the hand. With a 20, 30 or 40mm round base to the wooden handle in a variety of timbers (generally Rimu, Macrocarpa, Pine, Kauri, Walnut, Mahogany and Oak) as these are recycled from offcuts and reworked or from fallen trees. This timber type varies on each small batch made and supplied. Our supplier craftsman who hand makes each individual handle polishes them and they look and feel fantastic.
Then a 6mm thick casted acrylic base plate laser cut to the shape of the stamp image is glued and screwed to the handle.
Onto the base plate is fixed the laser engraved rubber die.
The rubber sheets we engrave with the laser engraver are A4 sheet size 210 x 297mm however we do not advise this size of stamp.
The larger the stamp the harder it is to get a quality stamp from. Larger stamps are better on a rocker or curved base plate which you can select here.
The size of a hand stamp is governed by the size of ink pad you have. If you can’t ink it up it has no value as a stamp.
The stamp needs to be around 7mm in size less than the size of your ink pad to allow the base plate plus moving the stamp to ink up. The more space you have the easier to get a few places to dab the stamp around in the ink.
The most common pad size is 110 x 70mm. This would mean a 103 x 63mm maximum size of stamp.
Next up is the 160 x 90mm stamp pad which you can a maximum of 153 x 83mm for the stamp.
If you are feeling rich then the really large one is the 230 x 130mm which you can fit a 223 x 123mm one in theory. Be careful with these as the larger the stamp is the harder it is to get a quality print from.
The first stage is to finalize a proof of the stamp. If you supply a image file in vector or pdf form and it needs no changes the proof is completed within 24 hours.
Once you approve the proof for manufacture the stamp components are made within 24 hours.
Once you pay for the order it is assembled and dispatched.
Then the completed stamp is put on the next courier pick up which is generally 3:00pm weekdays.
So all up 3 working days from inquiry to stamping. This is regularly beaten, we regularly have ones that the proof is perfect from submission overnight or early morning, approved before 11:00am, made and on the courier at 3:00pm. Every day is different however.
The standard ink is water based and works well with the stamps on matt paper or cardboard.
You can also use the alcohol based ink for fast drying situations on glossy paper, plastic etc. See the Noris 007 inks. The ink colour range is reduced for these special purpose inks.
The most common ink pads that are used are the 110 x 70mm Trodat 9052 or the 160 x 90mm Trodat 9053
