Exploring Rubber Stamps
Summary
Rubber stamps can be produced through various methods, with vulcanizing being the most cost-effective. This process involves creating a rubber mold and forming stamps by pressing raw rubber gum into the mold. This method allows for rapid production using a single mold. The major expense is the initial mold creation, but raw materials remain affordable. However, for one-off custom designs, this method isn't as economical.
When high-quality stamps are necessary, laser engraving is preferred. This technique ensures uniform thickness and flawless surfaces, ideal for printed images. Nowadays, rubber stamping has evolved from a business tool into a popular craft hobby. Enthusiasts often use liquid polymers to create stamps, attaching them to wooden handles. Although the process may be daunting for beginners, it offers the potential for crafting excellent custom stamps at a low cost. Numerous resources and books are available to guide hobbyists in making creative and decorative art stamps.
The advancement in modern techniques and materials has significantly boosted the popularity of rubber stamp making.
