Making rubber stamps....

The saw, Max, and a bowl full of cherries......
This is the double sided cushion the rubber and.....Max.

After 11 minutes the rubber is vulcanized (cooked) and ready to be trimmed and cushioned (See photo above). The cushion is double sided.....sticky on both sides. Next stop the saw (See photo above). I cut out the rubber/cushion. Our stamps are wood mounted. We grab the wood...that we cut ourselves....index them....stick on a price code....We place the rubber on the wood then it is ready to be sent to you.


B line design stamps (out of Mustang, Oklahoma) have been such great friends. They were a lot of help when we were getting ready for Stampaway. (and always for that matter) xoxo


So I hope this has given you all a little look at how we make our stamps.
