Date Stamps
Self-inking stamps carry their own pad and suit anything used daily — mail rooms, receipting, goods inward. Pre-inked gives a sharper impression and lasts thousands of strikes but cannot be re-inked as easily. Traditional rubber stamps with a separate pad are cheapest and fine for occasional use. Check the band range: most cover about twelve years, so a stamp bought now will need replacing rather than resetting. See desk accessories for pads and holders.
