What is an address stamp?

Some people like to use personalized return address labels on their mailing envelopes, some people prefer to use a self-inking rubber stamp for the same purposes, likely called address stamps


A address stamp is a self-inking rubber stamp that can make impression after impression. They come in styles with 4 lines of text up to 8 lines of text, variety of sizes and ink colors.

I know some soon to be brides that have used them at bridal shows over and over to simply stamp their name and address on filling out forms to save time, this also makes it easier for the person taking the form to have a neatly printed clearly readable name and address.

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.

The list of uses for self inking address stamps is only limited by your imagination and determination. We’ll get you started with a few ideas.

Favor boxes – Try stamping your wedding info on favor boxes.

Favor labels – Perfect for address stamps, add a bit more décor and carry your theme on favor labels (note: use paper based labels. Clear address labels generally require a laser printer for smudge free designs).

Card stock items – Anything made of cardstock or cardboard is fair game for using stamps.

Coasters – Make your own coasters by using your address stamp on blank coasters made from pulpboard or any other material that suits your eye.

Envelopes – Use a return address stamp on envelopes.

Save the date cards – Stamp your address or name on these for an easy and professional touch. If you are having a destination wedding, consider stamping luggage tags to send with your save the date cards.

Map/Direction Cards – Again, this is a great place for using a self inking address stamp, right next to the directions or map to your location.

Return addresses – Stamp your return address anywhere it’s needed.

Personal stationery – Check the designs to see options for stationery uses.

Gifts for bridesmaids - A self inking address stamp or monogram stamp is a great gift for your bridal party that they can use for long time to come.
