Start here if you are not sure what you need and want to place your order quickly. Simply answer 4 quick questions and our Quick Order Wizard will suggest the most suitable Rubber Stamp(s) for you.
Select Category
If you have the time and want to browse our entire range of Rubber Stamps, then start by selecting one of the 6 categories on the home page. You will then be able to view all the products in this category and also filter the results further.
Select Template
Sometimes one doesn’t actually know what one wants or needs. We have curated a growing number of templates for almost every application and have grouped them per industry sector. Some of the templates you can use as is and others give you the option to customise and/or personalise with your details.
How long will my Ink Pad last?
It is difficult to give an exact number of impressions as different materials absorb greater/lesser amounts of ink and can therefore significantly reduce/increase the lifespan of the ink pad. Under normal circumstances however, you should get a couple of thousand impressions from your stamp and when the ink pad does run dry, you can simply order a new one. If you are going to be using your stamp regularly, we recommend purchasing an additional ink pad. The swop-pads are inexpensive and easy to replace.
Design & Upload Your Own Stamp
Vector File Types
We work with many agencies and companies who have in-house design teams. You are welcome to submit your own rubber stamp design(s). We can work with the following file types – CorelDRAW, Illustrator, EPS, PDF.
Fonts
We have a wide font library, but it is always best to attach the font file if you have a particular font(s) in mind. Alternatively, please convert all your artwork to curves (CorelDRAW) / Path (Illustrator), but this will limit our ability to make any changes on your behalf. We also recommend that you don’t use cursive fonts. While this effect looks good on digital devices, it does not always read well as a stamp.
Font Size and Line Thickness
We strongly recommend that you don’t go any lower than 6 points and that any lines are at least 0.75pt thick. It is also usually advisable to have a solid line rather than a broken line or dots, but this is dependent on the size.
Images & Logos
Images and Logos need to be uploaded as black & white vector files. If you aren’t able to create a the vector file and only have a high resolution full colour logo or image, please upload it – in most instances we are able to convert this to a suitable vector file for you.
Signatures
We are able to create a text plate for a Rubber Stamp from a scanned signature. The scan needs to be done in B&W and you should use a relatively thick pen. Please do a few signatures on the page, so we can select the one that is most suitable for your stamp. For security, we have internal checks and balance to help mitigate against the fraudulent use of a signature stamp.
Proofs
In all cases where you upload your own artwork, we will send you a proof and may suggest some changes if the artwork is not suitable or won’t give a crisp and clear impression.

Payment
Credit Card / Debit Card
The quickest and simplest is to pay for your order online with your credit or debit card. All card transactions on our site are processed securely by Paygate, the leading payment gateway in South Africa. We do not store any card details on our site. For your protection and ours we have 3D secure / Verified by Visa enabled on our site. If you card is registered for online shopping then you will be asked to enter the relevant 3D secure / Verified by Visa number after you have entered in your credit card details. This two-factor authentication minimises the risk of somebody fraudulently using your credit card. We are notified immediately when the transaction is successfully processed, which means we can send your order to production straight away
EFT Payments
This is one of the most common payment methods used. There may however be a slight delay with your order if we need to wait for the funds to clear into our account. To expedite your order, please use your Invoice Number as the reference number when doing the transfer. It will also help if you could email proof of payment to office@rubberstampsa.co.za
Cash or Cheque Deposit
This is our least favourite payment method, as it results in a delay in sending your order to production. For a cash deposit, especially with large orders, we need to wait until the funds have fully cleared into our account. Sometimes this can take one or two working days. A cheque deposit will take a minimum of 7 days to clear into our account and is therefore not recommended.

Returns
There is a mistake with my order
Our goal is to offer you a seamless, end-to-end service. Our online ordering system and internal processes, drastically reduce the chances of mistakes occurring, but we accept that things can occasionally go wrong. If you do find a mistake with your order (typo, layout or incorrect size/type of stamp), please let us know immediately per email. It is helpful in these instances, if you can give us a detailed description of what the error is and send us a picture (if relevant/possible). If the mistake was on our side, we will rectify it immediately. If the mistake was from your side, we will try and work with you to come up with a solution that is quick and financially fair to both of us.
My order got damaged in transit
We take great care in packaging all our orders, but occasionally an order is damaged in transit. Our first priority in this instance is to remake the damaged stamp(s) and or embosser(s) and get them to you as fast as possible. Please pop us an email as soon you receive your order if some/all of the contents of the parcel was damaged in transit. Please attach a picture of the damaged goods, as we will subsequently need to put in a claim with our in-transit insurers.
