The origins of banking can be traced back to ancient Mesopotamia, around 2000 BCE, where the first known form of lending took place. Temples, often considered the earliest banks, served as repositories for valuable items and grain, and priests would lend these resources to local farmers and merchants. The temples were also responsible for keeping records of these transactions.

In ancient Greece, the concept of banking further evolved with the establishment of moneylenders and private depositories. Around 600 BCE, the Greek city-state of Athens introduced the first standardized coinage system, which facilitated trade and contributed to the growth of banking activities. The Romans, too, played a significant role in the development of banking. They established a network of banks throughout their empire and introduced financial innovations such as bills of exchange, which allowed for the transfer of funds between different locations.

In today’s world, customized rubber stamps for making bank deposits have become an essential part of how the financial system operates in it’s currently highly complex and sophisticated form.

When it comes to signing or authorizing elements such as deposits, payments and other checks, the use of reliable bank stamps can save you time and energy. Imagine the ease of simply pressing down your stamp with your information ready to go with a customized stamp!

We offer a large inventory of bank stamps from leading names in the industry, such as MaxLight, Ideal, Trodat and more. Our inventory features high-quality stamps in a variety of sizes to meet your needs. Choose from line counts ranging from 2 lines to 10 lines. These stamps allow you to put important information, including your business name, account information, bank name, instructions such as deposit only and other relevant information.

As members of a designated STEM profession, landscape architects create healthy, safe, and beautiful outdoor places for everyone.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security STEM designation recognizes the high degree of science, technology, engineering and mathematics course work required in landscape architecture collegiate programs as they bring science and design together to make our communities better places to live, work, and play.

Being a landscape architect requires years of education and experience and passing a national exam. They are licensed—just like doctors and engineers—to keep people safe and secure.

Certainly honored professions such as landscape architecture come with a certain degree of difficulty in getting the education and experience necessary, not to mention passing exams and so on. But if it was easy to be a professional, everyone would be one, and as the old adage goes, if mountains were smooth we couldn’t climb them.

And while degrees of difficulty are often high in worthwhile pursuits, often the required tools can make the whole process easier. And one tool no landscape architect can do without is the correct certification stamps and embossing seals with the proper requirements for every single state preset, and having the necessary customization easily made.

That is exactly what we’ve configured at Rubber Stamp Champ with our professional rubber stamp and seal products for landscape architects.

Our inventory of professional landscape architect stamps and seals feature the best brands in the business for quality and performance you can count on for years to come. Choose from such industry staples as Shiny, MaxLight and more. All of the professional stamps and embossing seals we offer are made of high-quality elements while offering thousands of vivid, crisp impressions to put your professional mind at ease. Choose from pre-inked, self-inking and traditional hand stamp options, depending on your preference.

Visit us soon and all the best to you in your pursuit to make the great outdoors even greater!

I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, “Well, a-bless my soul”

Lyrics from a while back by Tennessee Ernie Ford from a tune that was mostly about work. Of course there are a vast number of songs about work, like Working On The Chain Gang, Taking Care Of Business, Bang On The Drum All Day, John Henry, 9-5…and the list goes on and on, because, after all, work is a very big part of our lives.

First Woody Guthrie and then Bruce Springsteen said it like this:

I mined in your mines and I gathered your corn
I been workin’, mister, since the day that I was born

Ever since time began, people had to work. Early humans belonged to hunter-gatherer societies that relied on people filling in for different tasks in order to promote the survival of the larger community. Thus began the history of working for survival. Some early jobs were pretty dangerous!

Things got a little less hairy on the work front as society began to pivot to a form of currency. Barter and trade systems supported people who did specific tasks like blacksmiths, farmers, and hunters who would then trade the excesses of the fruits of their labor with other people. With the advent of currency, it soon became possible to exchange your labor for perceived value.

Today’s working world largely takes place in the relative comfort of office spaces where tools such as spears, slings, rocks and knives have been replaced by more civilized elements such as custom self-inking rubber stamps, paper clips, post-it notes, price markers, automatic number machines and so on.

We offer a range of Lion office products including binder clips, grip clips, jumbo paper-clips, a heavy duty hand-held tally counter and environmentally friendly reusable correction tape.

The variety of clips are made from durable, high quality materials. They are made to be easy to use and to last through many repeated uses. The jumbo binder clips are ideal for organizing and holding together a large stack of documents and files.

Our inventory features several choices for adding a high-quality automatic numbering stamp to your tools. Every option available offers superior quality for long-lasting performance capable of thousands of impressions.

Every impression is clean, clear and easy to read. These Lion and Xstamper automatic numbering machines feature six to 12 metal wheels/seven actions (repeat, consecutive duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, six times and twelve times), drop ciphers, precision movements and lustrous chrome finish.

So yes we all have to work, and yes it is easier than it used to be, and there are now hundreds of products including bank deposit stamps, corporate stamps, signature stamps, office supplies and more, all available on our website at discount prices, to make the job you do at work easier, less expensive and more productive!

It takes Earth approximately 365 days and 6 hours to orbit the Sun. It takes Earth approximately 24 hours — 1 day — to rotate on its axis. So, our year is not an exact number of days.

Because of that, most years, we round the days in a year down to 365. However, that leftover piece of a day doesn’t disappear. To make sure we count that extra part of a day, we add one day to the calendar approximately every four years.

Leap years are important so that our calendar year matches the solar year — the amount of time it takes for Earth to make a trip around the Sun. Subtracting 5 hours, 46 minutes and 48 seconds off of a year maybe doesn’t seem like a big deal. But, if you keep subtracting almost 6 hours every year for many years, things can really get messed up.

For example, say that July is a warm, summer month where you live. If we never had leap years, all those missing hours would add up into days, weeks and even months. Eventually, in a few hundred years, July would actually take place in the cold winter months!

So Leap Year adds an extra day once every four years and that’s all it takes to keep things straight and running smoothly and preventing Fourth of July celebrations that include making snowmen. Of course in July snowmen are often made on golf courses but that’s a different story, which involves scoring a lousy 8 on any given hole.

In any event, and In honor of this happy and essential adjustment, we are guaranteeing that on the extra day this year, we will be making rubber stamps and shipping them out to you!

One of our 15,000 Five Star reviews indicates that ordering rubber stamps on our site is quite easy, a piece of cake according to the reviewer.

You might think ‘well of course’ ordering a rubber stamp certainly isn’t brain surgery. Then again, it does have it’s complexities and we have worked diligently to make sure you can place an order and get the exact stamps you want, more easily than you can on many other stamp ordering websites.

A stamp can be ordered with art work or text only, it can come in a wide variety of sizes, font choices and ink color choices. You could choose a pre-inked stamp, a self-inking stamp or for sizes from tiny to huge, a wood mounted hand stamp.

The self-inkers transfer ink from an inner pad and pre-inked stamps have an ink cell and impression pad built into one. Self-inking stamps are the most economically priced and make a great impression 10,000 times before needing re-inking or a replacement pad. Pre-inked stamps create perfect impressions 50,000 times before needing to be re-inked.

If you are engaged in a project that requires you to stamp on a surface other than paper, such as plastic, metal, fabric, leather or skin, we offer many choices.

You may want a stamp for your notary business that requires it to be set up by the specific regulations in your state, or have an industrial use for your stamp such as small metal inspection stamp or very large frame custom alpha-numeric band stamp. We also offer stock date stamps and double-daters that you can configure with a customized die-plate message.

The point is, there are so many options and choices that ordering the stamp you need is not automatically a piece of cake, so we have worked hard to make it one in many ways.

We have our home pages clearly laid out in a helpful way to do just that. For example, our Surface Selector Tool allows you to click on a range of surfaces and by so doing receive suggestions about which stamping products would be best used on that surface.

If you shop by brand, you can easily do that as well on our home page, or also by stamp type.

Additionally, if you use our drop down menus in the top bar, you will see all the choices we offer within certain categories, and if you like to shop by our most popular items you can, and for your saving convenience our rotating panels are always presenting you with a new way top get a great discount!

Some people feel a single focus is best, and appreciate Mark Twain’s words of wisdom, “Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket!” Others believe that you aren’t very smart if you can’t do more than one thing simultaneously, and former president Lyndon Johnson made that point of view clear when he said about congressman Gerald Ford, “He’s so dumb he can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.”

And while everyone pretty much agrees that you can’t have your cake and eat it too, we are nevertheless falling on the side of multi-taking with our unique stamp pen.

Stamps are a great way to save time and energy while improving communication. While stamps are a reliable tool perfect for a range of purposes, stamp pens are even more practical. This versatile tool is great for doctors, nurses, notaries and more.

Best of all, easily customize stamp pens online and they’ll ship in 2 business days with free shipping.

The body and lid are designed to be durable and long-lasting with strong metal materials expertly manufactured to meet the highest standards.

So while it may not be useful, or practical, to try to do ten things at once, there is a way to do two things with one instrument, and you can find that tool on our website under stamp pens. Have a nice day!

With date stamps both stock and custom being a popular choice on our website, we can look back on January of 1924 and see what was occurring on that date 100 years ago. Notably, there was at that time, only one college bowl game and that was the Rose Bowl…contrasted with today’s world in which there are an astonishing 43 college bowl games and include such out of the way and arcane venues as The Gasparilla Bowl, The Pinstripe Bowl and the Famous Toastery Bowl.

There is, as yet, no Rubber Stamp Champ Bowl, but if there was we figure one of the teams always in it would be the Florida Daters, then again daters for customers in every state would also be welcomed, and in fact, rather than touchdown saving tackles, our bowl would feature money saving rubber stamp prices on daters and thousands of other stock and custom items!

To help you get started dating in the best way in the new year, we recommend The Trodat® Professional Line or Trodat® Printy line of daters as the best choices for self-inking stamps, whether you are working at a counter or in an office setting.

Ever wondered what the biggest concert in history was? Here’s a look at some of the record-breaking crowds that artists have played for.

The Rolling Stones’ 2006 performance on Copacabana beach in Rio certainly lived up to the name of the tour, ‘A Bigger Bang’. An audience of 1.5 million watched the rockers perform hits including Satisfaction and It’s Only Rock n Roll from a stage the height of a seven story building.

Germany’s Love Parade festival was famous for attracting huge crowds, and in 2008 it was bigger than ever, with around 1.6 million partygoers joining the festivities in Dortmund. The world’s top DJs helped transform the city into the biggest free party Germany had ever seen.

Music legend Rod Stewart holds the current world record for the biggest gig of all time — in 1994, he also performed on Copacabana Beach to to a staggering 3.5 million people celebrating New Year’s Eve. Although 99% of the crowd probably couldn’t see a thing, being part of the world’s biggest concert at New Year must have made for a pretty amazing atmosphere and a night the gig-goers will never forget.

Concerts, performances and live entertainment shows are often some of the most memorable moments of a person’s life, notwithstanding the old 70s adage, “If you remember it, you weren’t there.”

So how does the Rubber Stamp Champ figure in to the wild world of events? We play a gatekeeper role with a host of products that can help with security, the door, ticketing, admission and so on, with entry-re-entry hand stamping supplies that include Memories Tattoo ink pads, skin safe ink kits, ultra violet inks, black light supplies, small around hand stamps and other elements that can be used very effectively for crowd control at nightclubs, water parks, indoor and out door concerts, and any and all paid events to provide an easy way for event managers to determine who has paid, who has provided a ticket, or a cover charge, and who has not.

When it comes to planning an event or running a business, stamps are a helpful addition to your arsenal for many reasons. When running an attendance-based business, hand stamps let you show important information such as guests under the drinking age or proof of admittance in place of tickets. Whether at a nightclub, theme park or other themed event, invisible ink products can add an extra element of fun to the party. With this type of ink, also called UV ink, it will only show under a black light.

We offer a range of options when in search of a reliable hand stamp kit for a range of purposes. All of these products can be customized with text or artwork at no extra charge. Our inventory features an array of sizes made from lightweight materials. These small sized stamps are ideal for easy transport from one location to another and some models will easily fit in a pocket. Choose from both self-inking models and non-self-inking options, depending on your preference. Self-inking stamps come inked with a water-based ink and are safe for skin.

In any event, Rubber Stamp Champ has a large selection of stamps, pads, inks, supplies and more to help you make sure you have a good time showing others a good time!
