Many people believe that rubber stamps are obsolete. But in actuality they aren't, rubber stamps are still widely used by business people and artists alike. They have many different applications with a set of amazing benefits.

Rubber stamps come in a wide assortment of designs and functionalities. The oldest form of the rubber stamp is the hand held rubber stamp. These are usually made with a wood, metal, or plastic handle with the stamp at the end of it. These stamps usually come with an ink pad. Once the ink dries up or runs out you'll have to purchase another ink pad. The two most current introductions to the stamp market are pre inked and self inking stamps. The pre inked stamps are made with a more absorbent rubber than other kinds of stamps. The ink is only applied once and the stamp holds on to the ink for further future use. Self inking stamps work quite differently. Self inking stamps contain ink deposits inside the mechanism. When you press the stamp the apparatus inside applies ink to the stamp. In one simple press you apply the ink and make your mark.

An address stamp will come in handy if you need to mail many items during the holiday seasons. Rubber address stamps can make mailing out cards, gifts, packages, letters, invitations etc easier than ever.
