Benefits to using Self-Inking Address Stamps

Why use self-inking address stamps instead of stamps and pads?

A self inking stamp makes a cleaner impression without smudges more easily and more quickly. To make a similar impression with a stamp and pad, you’ll probably want to paint the ink onto the stamp or wipe excess ink away between uses.

If you don't, you can end up with smudges and spots. This adds time to the process. Also, if you're using specialty stationery, labels, or boxes, you'll want to minimize mistakes to save expense.

If you want to get the most use out of your stamp, you'll want it to be easy to make a clean, sharp, aligned impression without taking too much time or effort. For these purposes, self inking address stamps are a great solution.

There are lots of benefits to using a self inking address stamp:

* You can choose from different styles, designs, amount of lines for personalization.

* Operation is as simple as visually aligning and pressing down.

* The ink lasts for a long time – approximately 10,000 to 14,000 impressions.

* These personal address stamps and rubber stamps are cheap enough that you can get more than one if you want to mix things up a bit.

It’s easy to experiment – simply try it on a given surface. If you like it, good. If you don’t, you’ve only lost the amount of time it takes to push the button down.
