Rubber stamps have become big business since the mid 1980s, when the stamp industry made a big jump from the business world into a big time hobby.
Stamping has become a huge pastime for many North American women, and on reflection of this growth is the popularity of custom rubber stamps.
Custom rubber stamps, like other forms of stamps, had their start in business. Individual businesses could order their own custom rubber stamps depicting their unique emblem. Custom rubber stamps could also include vital information such as packing dates, addresses, and of course warnings such as ?This End Up?.
With the huge market available for the stamping hobby, custom rubber stamps are also seeing a massive growth in their niches. At first, custom rubber stamps for stamping hobbyists were used in the same manner as for business- women who took up stamping as a hobby often saw an opportunity to branch out with their stamping skills, and began to order custom rubber stamps to place their names and contact information on the back of cards or pictures they had designed for their business.
The growth of scrap booking as a hobby has continued the rise of rubber stamps in popularity in general and custom rubber stamps in particular. The idea behind a scrap book is a personal record of an individual?s life, and custom rubber stamps are the perfect way to add personal information to a scrap book.
Custom rubber stamps can still include the name of the individual, but they can be ordered with many other purposes in mind as well. Depending on the focus of the individual for their scrap book, custom rubber stamps can be ordered with dates, words, or names. An excellent idea is to order a custom rubber stamp with a date that can be used interchangeably- for example, a stamp with 200-, where the dash can be whatever particular year it is. Thus, only one set of custom rubber stamps needs to be ordered.
Of course, custom rubber stamps can be purchased in numerous fonts, sizes, and styles. The skies the limit, so why not try a custom rubber stamp to add that little bit of extra individuality to your collection?
