Stamps & Stamp Accessories

Which stamp should you choose?

That depends on what you need to mark. A date stamp is suitable when you want to show when a document was received or processed, while a text stamp can be used for recurring markings such as "Copy" or "Posted".

Date stamps and text stamps

A date stamp eliminates the need to write the date by hand on every document. It is practical for tasks such as invoice processing, mail handling, and archiving.

Text stamps are used when the same word or message needs to appear repeatedly on multiple documents. There are models with pre-set texts as well as stamps where you can choose your own wording. Some date stamps also combine the date with various administrative markings.

Accounting stamps and numbering stamps

An accounting stamp is used to mark financial documents with information required for accounting and bookkeeping purposes.

Numbering stamps, on the other hand, are used to number documents and records. They are useful when managing multiple pages, for example during archiving or when handling large volumes of documents.

Stamps with custom text or logo

If you need a stamp with your company's name, address, or logo, customised options are also available. These can be practical for recurring marking of documents, envelopes, and packaging.

Stamp pads and stamp ink

Some stamps feature a built-in ink pad, while others need to be used with a separate stamp pad.

At Tingstad, you will find stamp ink in colours such as black, blue, red, green, and violet, as well as accessories for different stamp models.

Keep in mind that not all inks are suitable for every type of stamp or surface, so always check compatibility before purchasing.

Things to consider when choosing a stamp

In addition to the type of stamp, it is worth considering how often it will be used and how large the imprint needs to be.

If you stamp many documents every day, a self-inking model can be a convenient choice since it eliminates the need for a separate stamp pad. For less frequent use, a traditional stamp may be sufficient.

Also check the text size, number of lines, and any available accessories before ordering, especially if you choose a custom text stamp that needs to accommodate several pieces of information.
