The Ultimate Foodie Giveaway: A Team Collaboration with @PullupsandPeanutbutter
03 November 2025
At RubberstampSA, we absolutely love a good collaboration — especially when it’s with someone who’s as passionate about creativity (and food!) as we are. Recently, our team came together with Embossed Moments and Your Brand Solution — our sister companies — to create something truly special: The Ultimate Foodie Giveaway with the incredible Jo Hill (@pullupsandpeanutbutter).

23 September 2025
On 24 September each year, South Africans come together to celebrate Heritage Day—a public holiday with deep meaning. It’s a day that reminds us of the rich blend of cultures, traditions, and histories that make up our nation.
A Short History of Heritage Day
Heritage Day was first declared a public holiday in 1996, following South Africa’s transition to democracy. It replaced what had previously been known in KwaZulu-Natal as Shaka Day, commemorating King Shaka Zulu, a unifier and leader … Packaging That Speaks Volumes for Small Businesses
11 September 2025
For small businesses and start-ups, packaging is more than a practical necessity—it’s a silent storyteller. The moment a customer receives their order, the wrapping, textures, and finishing touches all whisper something about the care that went into it. A simple paper bag can become a canvas; a modest thank you note can turn into a keepsake.
As the designer Charles Eames once said: “The details are not the details. They make the design.” Nowhere is this truer than in packaging. Small to… Customer Spotlight: Sujay Sanan – Art, Nature, and a Stamped Impression

13 August 2025
If you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to add a personal touch to your packaging, custom wooden stamps are a great place to start. They’re practical, long-lasting, and bring a unique, handmade feel to each product that leaves your hands.
One of our favourite recent examples? Oh, Dough! Cookies—a fast-growing cookie brand run by Chrissy, a solo baker based in Randburg.
A Small Stamp, A Big Impact
Chrissy’s story started like many small businesses do—with an idea, a bit of late-n…
