WHY TRODAT SELF-INKING STAMPS
The Trodat self inking stamps use a built-in ink pad with spring mechanism to automatically re-ink the stamp between impressions.
Trodat stamps have a heavy-duty metal frame for smooth, quiet stamping action with lasting durability.
Using a molded polymer die plate, the Trodat self-inking stamp makes thousands of crisp, clean impressions before needing to be re-inking.
Trodat stamps are an excellent choice for all your high-volume stamping needs.
