How to Care for and Maintain Your Self-inking StampsUpdated an hour ago
Self-inking stamps are designed for convenient, repeated use, but they still benefit from proper storage and protection. Keep your stamp in its normal upright position and store it away from excessive heat and moisture.
To help prevent dust and debris from accumulating on the stamping surface—and to help protect the ink from drying out—use a dust cover when the stamp is not being used.
Tips for All Stamp Types
- Keep stamps covered when not in use to protect them from dust and debris.
- Store stamps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, which can damage the rubber or other stamp components.
- Clean traditional rubber and clear stamps regularly, especially when switching between ink colors.
- Allow washable stamp surfaces to dry completely before storing.
- Protect pre-inked and self-inking stamps with their cap or dust cover when not in use.
With a little routine care, your stamps can stay clean, crisp, and ready to make professional impressions for years to come.
