Addprint Rubber Stamps

Stamps are mainly used to print on office stationery. Sizes range from an inch or so to about three inches in the normal traditional wooden handled stamp. There are practical considerations for limiting size. However, there are times when larger stamps are needed to print on cartons, for example, and in this case, you would need to get large custom stamps made in sizes that can up to 12 inches x 8 inches.

Practical considerations in the flat design
Flat designs of rubber stamps are size limited. There are practical considerations for limiting the size. Rubber stamps usually mimic the way printing presses ink the platen carrying the lettering and design block, which, once inked is brought forward and pressed on the substrate with a certain amount of force. Impressions are made using the flat rubber stamp by pressing with the hand so only a certain amount of force can be applied. Then, there may be imperfections and unevenness in the rubber. If the size were larger then it is likely that certain portions may not print or may print light. You would have to exert more force and still be unsuccessful in getting a clear impression in a large custom stamp, which negates the purpose. The alternative is to use a curved surface.

Rocker type large custom stamp
There are times when you may wish to print a larger size from 6 inches to 12 inches or so. The flat type stamp simply cannot deliver results. The solution is to fit such large custom stamp to a curved surface. The technique can be compared to offset printing in which ink is transferred to the printing plate mounted on a circular roller. It requires much less force to operate and you get crystal clear and sharp impression across the length and width. Large custom stamps are best made in the rocker type for ease of use and to guarantee clear impressions. You do need a large size inking pad that you use to ink the stamp. Then, instead of stamping down on the paper, the rocker stamp is pressed across its circular arc and, with minimum effort you transfer the impression to paper or board.

Large custom stamp ideal for cartons and other applications
Rocker mounted large custom stamp is ideal if you wish to print on large cartons. You save the cost of using stickers that, anyway, can be torn off whereas the print cannot be so easily removed. Restaurants offering takeaway service may use plain white boxes and use the rocker large custom stamp to create a visual identity. If you are organizing an event and wish to hand out flyers or create small danglers then the large custom stamps may be the way to go, especially if such events happen on a regular basis but you do not wish to print large numbers. Order custom large stamps from Addprint Rubber Stamps and marvel at the crystal clear impressions.
