Create Custom Rubber Stamps and Save Money
Introduction
Have you ever wanted a completely custom rubber stamp instead of settling for mass-produced options? This guide will show you how to create and send your own artwork to a stamp manufacturer, helping you save money and get exactly what you want.
Why Choose Custom Stamps?
Instead of paying around $12.00 for a generic, unmounted stamp in stores, you can get a custom-designed stamp directly from a manufacturer for about $9.00. With a little effort, you can ensure your stamp is unique and personal.
Design Guidelines
Line Thickness
The ideal line thickness for stamp-making is at least 0.2mm (0.008 inches or 0.57 points) to maintain strength and avoid distortion. If an image has thinner lines, you can convert it to a suitable format.
Image Types
Software like CorelDraw, which handles both vector and bitmap images, is highly recommended for stamp creation.
- Bitmap Images: These are like newspaper photos, and when scanned in black and white, can be sent as-is to the manufacturer.
- Vector Images: You can convert bitmap images to vector format by tracing and adjusting line thickness for better suitability in stamp making.
Complex Images
For intricate drawings or photograph-like images, adjust the brightness and convert them to black and white. Choose manufacturers experienced with these formats for the best results.
Optimal File Formats
Images have extensions that indicate their format. Common ones include:
- Vector Formats: .eps, .wmf (best for logos and line drawings)
- Bitmap Formats: .jpeg, .gif (great for detailed photos and illustrations)
Vectors like .eps and .wmf are preferred for simple images as they allow easy line thickness adjustments.
Using Online Clipart Services
Subscription-based services offer excellent clipart options. Clipart.com, with over 3 million suitable images, is a top choice. Knowing your manufacturer's clipart service can save costs, as accessing these libraries can be done through them at no extra charge.
Finding the Right Manufacturer
Most people still purchase mass-produced stamps without realizing the benefits of customization. If you're into card making or scrapbooking, consider finding a stamp manufacturer. They can be global, as unmounted stamps are light and easy to ship.
Several online networks, like stampsearch.com.au, connect you with manufacturers who can create unmounted stamps from clipart or your artwork and ship them worldwide.
Conclusion
Custom rubber stamps offer the perfect way to personalize your projects while saving money. By following these guidelines and leveraging available resources, you can easily create the perfect stamp tailored just for you.
