In an old song called 16 Tons, Tennessee Ernie Ford sings, “I was born one morning when the sun didn’t shine, I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine, I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal, and the foreman said, ‘Well bless my soul!'”

Today, if you’re working, chances are, in some way shape or form, you’re using rubber stamps.

Whether you are a stock boy, a banker, a lawyer, a notary, a steamfitter, a doctor, a nurse, an aerospace engineer, an investment advisor, a chef, or someone who just started a business of their own, no matter what you do, rubber stamps may well come into play as part of your job.

Mechanics who have to certify airplane maintenance records, office workers who have to stamp checks for deposit, accounting departments who mark invoices paid, young entrepreneurs who own a business and want to personalize their promotions with a stamped impression of their logo on a bag or tag, folks about to get married who will make the occasion more memorable with rubber stamped napkins and invitations, nightclub owners who want security to stamp the hands of incoming guests with ultraviolet ink, sales people who use frequent buyer card stamps, architects, photographers and people from all walks of life are rubber stamp users, as the products we make for that purpose are ubiquitous…which means they are everywhere in our culture and the working world.

In fact, apart from actual rubber stamps, the word itself is embedded in the vernacular and means literally to endorse or sanction, as in congress rubber stamped the President’s plan.

We are the Rubber Stamp Champ..and we salute all those, who ‘pick up their shovel and walk to the mine’…everyday!
