Saint Patrick, the patron Saint of Ireland, established as such in 1647 by the Catholic Church, never personally stood for, nor did the church intend the day to stand for, raw beef and onions, bagpipe parades, taking the day off to party, dyeing rivers, and rivers of beer, green and so on.

As it turns out, it took centuries for the holiday to accrue the elements that now seem crucial to its celebrations.

It wasn’t until the early 18th century that many of today’s traditions were kicked into high gear.

Since the holiday falls during Lent, it provides Christians a day off from the prescriptions of abstinence leading up to Easter, and around the 1720s, the church found it “got kind of out of control.”

Truth is, this is often a tough world that tends to break people down sometimes, all the work, responsibilities, family obligations and much else can pile up and make folks feel a little overwhelmed and pointless at times.

Billy Joel said it in a song, Piano Man, in one line about a guy who played piano in a bar, and what the bar owner thought of him, “He knows it’s me they’ve been coming to see to forget about life for a while.”

And so we do need things, diversions, recreations, playing golf or tennis, watching spectator sports, going fishing, and finding cause for celebration on days like St Patrick’s Day. And whether it makes sense or not to get wild and crazy, have a few, go out dancing and all, it doesn’t matter, what matters is that every once in awhile it’s good to let it all hang out, and even the Bible encourages it when it says, in Psalm 100, “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”

And while it might not be as euphoric as a night on the town, we can give you a reason to celebrate a little with our huge selection and great prices on custom rubber stamps with our special St Patrick’s Day discounts.

Our wide selection of custom rubber stamps includes address, monogram, signature, skin safe, heavy duty and even pocket stamps. With so many options, you are certain to find a model that perfectly matches your intended purpose. Display a name, title, date, phone number or any other message you might need with a stamp that will give clear and legible printing use after use.

So let the good times roll, and visit us soon, like maybe for a shamrock stamp!

They say it all comes out in the wash, but one thing you don’t want to have come out in the wash is any impression you wish to make and that’s why we offer our custom laundry stamps. Doing the laundry, of course, has evolved significantly over the centuries during which people have constantly sought, and still do today, to make things easier and easier.

Early civilizations used various materials like sand, ashes, and animal fats to clean clothes by hand. Fabrics were beaten against rocks or submerged in running water to remove dirt and stains. It was hard work and of course it made the people who did that hard work strong. It’s interesting to note that the human body is made to work, walk, lift, throw and so on, in order to survive, but since all that tough survival stuff has been mitigated by advances in technology…oddly enough, while we made hard things easier and easier, we factored useful exercise out of our equation and now anyone who wants to be in good shape has to go to the gym.

If you walk 20 miles a day in search of some berries or a scrap of meat and have to fend off saber toothed tigers with a makeshift spear, you hardly need to do laps or push ups to get strong or lose weight, and in fact losing weight back then was a bad thing because it meant you were going to starve.

Obviously, I guess we’d all rather order from Doordash than wind up in a fight to the death with a wooly mammoth, but who knows maybe that was preferrable in some ways to having to work out all the time.

Things are what they are though and certainly the push to make things easier will never end, and along those lines we’ve made things easier in the laundry department for those who wish to identify clothing with logos, instructions, names, numbers or any other useful markings.

We offer reliable, high-quality clothing stamps and accessories. You can choose options allowing for permanent impressions capable of lasting up to 40 washes without removal and lasting up to 90-degree temperatures. We can customize up to three lines of print on each stamp to include name and address for a convenient labeling system. Choose from leading names in the industry, such as Trodat and Artline for quality and performance you can count on for many years. The ink used for this type of application is non-toxic and acid-free for an option that is safe for skin contact. It is also smudge proof and water resistant, so it will not rub off on skin or other clothing.

Probably doing the laundry with modern machines isn’t much more fun than beating your clothes on rocks down by the river, but if you want to add an identifying touch to fabric, we’ve come up with a way that is, of course, much easier now than having to sew on some label. As for getting some exercise, we’ll leave that up to you!

A while back there was a young blond, or so the story goes, who came upon a cottage wherein a Mamma, Papa and Baby bear lived…only when she arrived the bears were momentarily out, while they left three bowls of porridge cooling on the kitchen table.

Being hungry, and a bit bold, she tasted some from each of the three bowls and found Papa’s to be too hot, Mamma’s to be too cold, but baby bear’s was just right.

She also finds the baby bear’s bed to her liking and after devouring the little one’s breakfast she passes out there until the Grizzlys’ return home and then runs from the place never to be seen again, until this Rubber Stamp Champ blog post.

Not sure if you’d call that a happy ending, but we will provide one in a moment, and we also have a JustRite story that ends well if you happen to be in the market for alphanumeric stamps, self-inking and non-self inking, in an easy to order format with hundreds of customizing choices, so you can get the JustRite stamp that’s just right for you!

If that sounds right, you’ll also appreciate the fact that we offer great pricing on JustRite stock daters, price marker stamps, refill ink and much more!

And the business woman at the top of this story, that’s Goldilocks…all grown up now, running a company, and still very much into things being JustRite!

In recent times with the government’s intentional collapse of the economy in March of 2020, surviving as a small, medium size and in some cases even a large business, has gone from being a challenge to instead being a fight, an all out war.

We’ve all gone many rounds in the last 5 years with higher shipping costs, higher salaries, higher cost of goods and more, in an environment not of slow growth, or no growth, but of actual shrinkage. Those who are still standing find themselves not so much proud of the fact that they are growing sales, but proud of the fact that they are still standing. Many wonder aloud, and convincingly, “What will they do to us next?”

‘Ask not what your country can do for you’, right, ask what it will do to you. And if you want to know how all that worked, just read this book about the dirtiest war of all time.

The good news is, the survivors of this debacle are very determined now to keep free enterprise alive, and indeed to bring it back with a vengeance, and if you’ve taken such a stance, here’s a ray of hope from the supply side of economics where we fight it out daily on the streets of a manmade disaster.

People search for large rubber stamps for a variety of reasons, and mostly those include making large impressions on out-going packages, and other practical stamp applications.

As for the largest of the large in this category, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen created the Free Stamp in Cleveland’s Willard Park. Inarguably the world’s largest office stamp, the aluminum and steel structure is 49 feet long, 28 feet high and weighs 70,000 pounds.

At Rubber Stamp Champ we may well have created the world’s second largest rubber stamp when we produced a giant for a copywriter friend who worked in a New York ad agency and commissioned us to produce this beauty for their lobby.

For stamps actually used to make extra large custom rubber stamp impressions we can provide functional stamps on rocker mounts with a dual handle set-up all the way up to 8″ x 10″ in size.

Some decades ago when this country’s identity was being born, Emerson wrote a book called Self Reliance that had a strong influence on our independant spirit. A quote from that book follows here, “Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life’s cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession. That which each can do best, none but his Maker can teach him.”

Some today adhere still to that principal, while many never knew it, never understood it and never acted accordingly, and yet that’s okay with the folks who do take their own talents seriously and pursue them with pride and joy.

It doesn’t matter what you make that’s your own, what matters is that you own what you make, and with that in mind for every free spirited individual that makes their own chilli, does their own projects with crocheting, knitting, embroidery, card making, drawing, painting, pottery, wood burning, model airplane making, or the hundreds of other pursuits that many do, we offer customizable Made By rubber stamps so you can show the world that you made something yourself, and made something out of yourself.

We have 29 excellent Made By rubber stamp designs that you can customize with your own special identity.

What is happiness, anyway?

According to our Research Department, happiness is a feeling of contentment or joy associated with positive experiences. It can also be described as a state of mind characterized by a sense of purpose, positive emotions, and fulfillment. 

Happiness is closely linked to well-being and overall life satisfaction. People who experience higher levels of happiness tend to have: better physical and mental health, stronger social relationships, and greater resilience in the face of adversity.

Happiness is a also a personal thing, as different for most people as their individual faces. Janis Joplin saw happiness as a new car, in her song about “Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz,” although I’ve driven both and the BMW line is far more performance-oriented and thereby a car that would make this driver happier than the other.

Sometimes it isn’t always a super big thing that brings happiness, and we have over 17,000 5-Star reviews that show just how happy a little thing like a rubber stamp can make people!

As in the case above, it was the stamp and the customer service care we take on every rubber stamp order, that made this person happy.

Would a new custom address stamp that produced thousands of flawless impressions for under $20 make you happy? How about a notary stamp all set up with your state requirements? Or an 16-band alpha-numeric stamp that had just the right combination of letters and numbers you need to identify an item? Or how about a fabric ink kit that would allow you to make custom clothing designs?

No worries if none of the above choices appeal to you, we have over 4000 rubber stamp and related items carefully organized and categorized on our website, so we pretty much gaurantee if you are seeking any one of those many choices, you will find it with us.

And we predict, when you find what you want, and order it, working with us will make you happy! So give it a try today, and bring a little extra joy to your holidays, and your life!

On March 17th, 1845, the London industrialist Stephen Perry was granted the patent for the production of elastic bands from vulcanised natural rubber. Since then, he has been considered the inventor of the rubber band.

Quite some time later another Steve Perry became famous for his work with bands as lead singer for a rock group named Journey.

And since we make letter and number band stamps, with regard to bands that play music, you could say that a letter band is AC/DC and that Blink 182 would be a number band, or a combination of letters and numbers.

But the letter and number band stamps we provide are different than that. We offer letter bands, number bands and combinations thereof in so many different sizes, varieties, fonts and construction that we are sure to have the exact band stamp you need.

When choosing tools for your workplace, stamps offer convenience and affordability. With the right stamp, you can clearly communicate important information without the tediousness of repeatedly writing the same thing over and over again. Our collection of self-inking and non-self-inking number and letter stamps are useful for a variety of purposes. They are ideal for checking deliveries, verifying inspections, communicating due dates to customers, and more. Best of all, they are affordable and easy to use! We offer a wide selection of number and letter stamps to fit your needs.

All of our number and letter stamps offer smooth rotation and quiet mechanisms for a stamp that won’t disrupt the work day. The easy to adjust bands are perfect for communicating different information with a simple turn of the dial.

Every one of the number and letter stamps we proudly offer features the best of quality in terms of both construction and performance. You get thousands of clear and clean impressions of vivid definition before requiring replacement ink. Choose from an array of ink colors and ink types to find the option that is perfect for your desired application. Made in the heavy-duty style, these rubber stamps are built to last for many years of use. They feature a sturdy metal frame construction with a soft material grip for ultimate comfort. Once you have chosen the right size and band count for your needs, we would be happy to customize it at no extra cost!

So for the invention of rubber bands we thank the original Steve Perry, and we invite you to visit our website and see all the great things we’ve done with that invention, and how we can configure a band stamp perfect for your application!

Growing up I would always hear that Eskimos have many different words for snow, and of course, so do people who come from the upper midwest. In Milwaukee we had sleet, hail, freezing rain, heavy wet snow, light fluffy snow, good packing snow for making snowmen, forts and snowballs for snowball fights, blizzards, light dustings, and so on. Skiers have different words for the stuff too, like powder, groomed, mashed potatoes…and corn snow.

Not only that but you get people singing about the stuff, Dreaming of A White Christmas, Let It Snow and so on, and even Meat Loaf got into that act when he sang, “Baby you’ve been cold to me so long I’m crying icicles instead of tears.”

Two out of three ain’t bad, and no two snowflakes are exactly alike. And all rubber stamps are not created equal. In fact one brand is recognized as being far superior in reproductive quality and durability than all the others. And that brand is Xstamper.

When choosing stamps, a safe bet is to choose names you can trust. One of the most respected names in the industry, Xstamper products feature top-of-the-line quality construction and thoughtful designs meant to make stamping easier and more enjoyable.
