Rubber stamps for Government departments pricing reviews
Having had a change of government recently with a policy of reducing in-house spending this is an opportune time to review stamps purchasing. Read about rubber stamps for Government departments here below.
While many Government departments are operating under more computerised systems and lower paper use the humble stamp still has its place.
Rubber stamps for Government departments are generalised under Stationery supplies. Often there are agreements that to obtain volume discounts all stationery spending should go through a particular rubber stamps supplier.
However, most of these Rubber stamps for Government departments suppliers are not rubber stamp makers. They rely on rubber stamp makers to advise just the right model of stamp from the huge range to suit your situation, design, manufacture and ship the stamps to you. No business can do this work for you for free. They must make a margin on that service, and you pay for that.
This is the point that in the current environment must be investigated.
Ensure your stationery supplier is providing you with the following:
- All stamp supplies available in New Zealand, plus offer opportunities to special import models not stocked normally within New Zealand.
- Offer alternative solutions to compare.
- Fast turnaround of design proof.
- Quote for the stamp required that may include different brands for that purpose or budget point.
- Quick manufacture of the stamp.
- Fast shipping to your desk.
- Above all, compare your stationery suppliers’ price to you with independent stamp makers.
At Self-Inking Stamps we stock and supply the three largest and most well-known rubber stamp manufacturers in the world.
These three rubber stamp product manufacturers are Trodat, Colop and Shiny, all three brands are ideal for rubber stamps for Government departments.
Trodat – Austria
Colop – Austria
Shiny – Taiwan
New Zealand being a small country with huge distances from our stamp suppliers means that the range available is restricted generally.
One wholesale only supplier per brand imports these stamps and stores them for when they are required by the New Zealand based custom stamp makers. To limit the opportunity cost of a large inventory only a portion of the range of each manufacturer is available on demand in New Zealand. When you need a very special purpose model custom stamp makers will know about them and given lead time can get them to you.
Each manufacturer has a great range of stamps and there is a lot of crossovers of identical sizes. Each brand with its own advantages. One is better with broad areas of ink than the others. Others finer details can be obtained. For bulk orders another brand has stock available most of the time.
The design of a stamp is important. What do you need to mark on paper?
Clarity of the image. Is it to be under high use and require a robust body? Surface being applied to and the appropriate inks. Is the font going to be readable? Just the right model for a long row of text. Or sufficient space to include the signature and details of the person marking the paper.
These are all part of the skill of a good stamp maker. Here we design the stamps and when made they are stamped on our printed-out proof to ensure the mark is the same. That experience means we can advise when something might not work for you before a purchase is made. Then discuss some alternatives to get you a much better mark made by a stamp every time.
Each stamp generally has an ink pad within it. It is important when these run out of ink to quickly get just the right pad for that model of stamp to you to get that stamp making a great mark again. Stamp makers generally stock all these items like replacement ink pads and bottles of ink.
Another cost saver is when there is staff churn. Larger organisations have this all the time. People leave, retire or get promoted.

DO NOT THROW AWAY A GOOD STAMP!
We can refurbish it with a new rubber die for the next person in that role with a custom-made rubber die at a fraction of the price of a new stamp.
Fast turnaround is important for anyone. Once you know what you need the anticipation builds. That repetitive writing hogging your time eats away at your psyche. I want it now. How fast can I get it?
The Self-Inking Stamps team, has a general turnaround of 3 days. Bulk orders will take longer.
- One working day to provide a proof of design (or reproof).
- One working day to custom manufacture, assemble, test and pack for the next courier pick up.
- One working day to courier via NZ Post to any New Zealand address including Post Office boxes.
When procuring for larger organisations constant volume purchases can achieve bulk discounts. Your stationery supplier may be offering that now.
However, that discount might be off their retail price. Remember they are making a margin off a custom stamp maker like us.
Check those prices. Apples for Apples. Get some competitive quotes. It’s easy – simply email sales@self-inkingstamps.co.nz and describe what you need, and we can get you an answer the next working day.
Often many rubber stamp suppliers cannot offer what we can for a fast buying process.
- Be sure you will get a custom-made rubber stamp design.
- Get a quote from several rubber stamp makers.
- Accept the best overall service from all the quotes.
Normally at this point in the rubber stamp making journey, payment will need to be received before we ship to you.
Government departments have three payment options:
- Credit card payment – ships without delay.
- Internet money transfer to our bank account – ships when funds are received in the account.
- Purchase order from your organisation – ships once this purchase approval has been received.
Remember we are here to help you. If you have a query just email or phone us and we can usually find a fast solution and we offer bulk purchase discounts.
