TYPES OF MOUNTS

If you choose a Handle Mount, your custom stamp will be mounted on a standard commercial mount with a black handle. The handle is rounded, with a flat area in the front for your thumb to rest on as you stamp. Proper holding of this flat area also ensures that your stamp is in the correct position and will not be accidentally stamped upside down. Handle Mounts are available in clear photo-polymer or rubber.

WOOD MOUNT

If you choose a Wood Mount, your custom stamp will be cushioned and mounted onto a hardwood maple block in the same way as we mount our art stamps. The design is indexed and placed on the top of the mount, for your convenience in placement of the image and also for ease of identification when stored.
