Frequently Asked Questions
Quickly find answers to the most common questions about our products and services.
1Using the Stamp
Place the stamp on the surface to be printed with the inked pad facing downwards. Press with even pressure and lift vertically for a sharp result. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before application.
The pad is removed by gently levering it from the edge with a flat object. The new pad is inserted by pressing it evenly into position until it clicks fully into place. Replacement pads are available in our shop.
You can use water-based inks for paper and cardboard, oil-based inks for non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal, and specialist inks for fabrics. Each type of surface requires the appropriate ink for an optimal result.
For water-based inks, use a damp cloth immediately after use. For oil-based inks, use a mild solvent. Never submerge the entire stamp in water. Always clean the pad after each session to extend its lifespan.
2Design and Artwork
We accept vector files in .ai, .svg, .eps formats and raster files in .bmp, .jpg, .tif formats with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Vector files are always preferable to guarantee the highest print quality.
Yes, you can upload any custom image or logo. Please ensure you hold the usage rights for the graphic material. Our team will check the file quality and contact you if necessary to optimise the result.
The maximum achievable size is 100×100 cm. For larger dimensions, please contact us to discuss custom solutions. Minimum dimensions depend on the complexity of the design.
Very fine details (lines under 0.5 mm, text under 6pt) cannot be reproduced to the required quality and will be lost during production. We recommend simplifying the design for fine details and our team will help you optimise the result.
