Photopolymer Stamps

A SUPER-COOL STAMP OPTION: PHOTOPOLYMER

March 1, 2013
We're excited to let you know that we're introducing a new photopolymer stamp. What is this, you wonder? Well, it's a type of stamp where the actual stamp image is clear in addition to the block.
We're starting off with one stamp set and we plan to offer a new one each month on a trial basis. We now offer options for every stamper: wood-mount, clear-mount, and now photopolymer. Excited? Your customers will be too.
Read up on other cool features, sales tips, and all you need to know about our photopolymer stamps here.
