Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do your prices include VAT?

A: Yes. If your delivery address is outside of the UK or in The Channel Islands, then VAT will be removed at the checkout.


Q: Can you email me a list of available fonts and ink colours?

A: Click here to download our font and ink colour sheet. We use Rubik font as standard, as this font gives the best results for the majority of stamps. Colours for our Pigmented ink pads can be found here.


Q: What's the difference between a rubber, pre-inked and self-inking stamp?

A: Rubber stamps are for use with an ink pad. With pre-inked stamps, the ink is contained within the die and will give you several thousand impressions and when the stamp starts to fade you can bring it back to life by applying a few drops of the re-inking fluid. Self-inking stamps have a rubber printing surface that rests on the built-in ink pad until required for stamping, then you simply push the stamp down to make an impression.


Q: Which products can you despatch the same day and what's the latest time for receipt of my order to ensure it's despatched the same day?

A: Every item on our website displays the despatch time on the actual item page. If you order items with different despatch times we'll despatch according to the item with the longest despatch time.


Q: I've placed an order, when will I receive the goods?

A: This will depend on the despatch date (see question above) and the delivery method you select.


Q: My rubber stamp is clogged-up with dry ink, how can I clean it?
