    Learn More About Stamps

    Stamps use intricate carved designs and ink pads to decorate crafts, gifts, and personal and business stationery. Both stamps and seals are used to decorate envelopes and other paper crafts. If you need to repeat a pattern or mark many envelopes, stamps make these tasks quicker and easier.

    You can work with a shop on Etsy to craft a custom stamps personalized with anything you want, from your business logo to your wedding date details. You can purchase stamps crafted by Etsy artisans that are based on your design, or have them pre-designed with your personal details.


    Custom rubber stamps are popular for invitations, business items like cards, shopping bags, or receipts, and for personalizing gift tags or gift wrap. They also make great gifts themselves. Give a personalized stamp as a gift for a bookworm to stamp their library of books or gift a custom stamp set to a friend with a scrapbooking hobby.

    Whether you want to address your postage or decorate a scrapbook, choose the type of stamp that suits your needs. There are many types of stunning ready-made and customizable stamps you can find from sellers on Etsy. Consider these popular options:


    • Address stamps: Often made from rubber, address stamps are custom stamps used to add return addresses to envelopes and mail packages.
    • Individual stamps: If you just need one or a few different types of rubber stamps, look for stamps that come solo in the form of your choosing. You can buy an individual stamp for specific projects or as a custom gift for a crafty friend.
    • Stamp sets: A stamp set is great for the avid stamper, providing you with all the essentials, including things like stamp holders and ink.
    • Stamp blocks: A stamp block is a chunky stamping tool, often carved from wood or made of clear acrylic for easy placement.
