Our high-quality deeply etched unmounted rubber stamps do not come with cushion or with a wooden mount. There are many ways to mount unmounted rubber dies for use. Some stampers use an acrylic block mounting system like EZ Mount System™ - others wood mount their stamps themselves, or use another mounting system.

Mounted stamps:

Our mounted stamps are mounted on good white maple hardwood and indexed with a glossy finish black soy-based ink. The sides of the wood mount have an hourglass shape to better fit your hand (see below).

The rubber side of the stamp is deeply etched and closely trimmed, to give you the best stamped impression possible.

Are your stamps deeply etched?

Yes, our deeply etched, red rubber stamps are made from 11 pt (.153) engravings. You can see how deeply etched our stamps are if you look at the height of the raised rubber image compared to the background rubber below.

However, if you are looking for rubber stamps to make a good impression in clay, you need to consider other factors as well.

If you look at the rubber sheet on the left, you will notice that even though they are all on the same deeply etched sheet of rubber, some images are wide open and others are much more dense. Image 1 is a very detailed racoon. The image has very little white space and so the rubber has very few open spaces. Since the lines in the artwork are very close together, the spaces in between the raised rubber will not be at full depth. This stamp could end up making a fuzzy impression in clay. Image 2 is a silhouette. It is completely filled and has no detail at all. Keep this in mind if you plan to use a solid image to press into clay. Image 3 is an outline of a cat napping. It has a strong outline and lots of interior space. This would make an excellent impression in clay. Image 4 has a combination of elements - some of the surface is very solidly raised and some is etched very deeply.

Can I order over the phone, or by email?

Our online shopping cart employs Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and is completely secure; however, if you would prefer to give your credit card information over the phone, we are happy to oblige you.

However, it is important to use the online shopping cart to process your order first, whenever possible.

Simply use the shopping cart as usual (add items to cart, then go to checkout), but choose "Order by Credit Card through Postal Mail" during the checkout process. You will not need to fill out your credit card number online. You can leave it blank, or fill with zeros. You can mention that you will be phoning us in the "special instructions/comments" box during checkout.

Once you submit your order using our secure shopping cart, you will have an order # (at the top of the confirmation page) that we can use to match your phoned in information with the items you placed in your shopping cart online. This will save time on the phone and ensure that your order is filled accurately and shipped promptly. Our phone # is (419) 823-7677.

Your order will not be completed until we get your phone call.

It is generally not considered safe to email secure information without encryption - so we prefer not to process retail orders through email.

What is in a "grab bag"?

A grab bag is a discounted mix of stamps (usually unmounted) chosen by our staff for one low price. We try to get a variety of sizes in each "grab bag" to offer you the best possible value for your money. Grab bags are good buys for people who like to collect stamps along a particular theme without spending a lot of money and they help us to clear out overstocked inventory to make room for new stamp designs.

Do you sell wholesale?

Yes, if you own and operate a rubber stamp or craft store, please email us and ask for our wholesale terms. We will email you back the information you will need to open a wholesale account. We do not sell wholesale to individuals or to stamping clubs or organizations.
