When we were kids there was a saying, or a cosmic question perhaps, which went like this; “How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck wouldn’t chuck wood?”

If you get the answer to that just precisely right you may qualify for admission into the School of Buddhist Monks..they’ll let you know, I’m sure.

The truth is, wood grows on trees, and it is thereby a very strong and useful substance for making things from houses to hand stamps.

At Rubber Stamp Champ, we live in houses but we make rubber stamps for a living. So our interest in wood is in the making of wood mounted rubber stamps, and we do make a large truckload of them daily.

While rubber stamp making technology evolved into self-ikning and pre-inked stamps, wood hand stamps were never left behind because they have always offered, and still do, sizes and shapes that cannot be made as self-inking or pre-inked stamps…including over 200 sizes and shapes, small, medium, large and extra large, round, vertical and more!

Most of the time when people think of using rubber stamps, they have in mind things like date stamps, address stamps and other types of rubber stamps used to officiate documents, or stamp invoices and envelopes with messages like DO NOT BEND, or FRAGILE.

There are however an intense number of other rubber stamps uses where craft rubber stamping plays a large role in either their business or hobbies.

For example rubber stamps can be used to stamp on glass, fabric, wood, leather, chrome, plastic and even skin, where rubber stamps are often used with UV light set ups to mark the backs of people’s hands as they pay and make their way into water-parks, concerts, nightclubs and other types of events where control over entry and re-entry is mandatory.

Subsequently visiting Rubber Stamp Champ on our website that features over 3000 items is a real good idea whether you are just trying to get the mail out in an organized way, or you’re into the art of rubber stamping and would benefit from our surface selector tool which allows you to enter the surface you want to stamp on, and then returns solid suggestions for the type of stamping ink, stamp pads, and type of rubber stamp you may need, from self inking to pre-inked rubber stamps, and wood stamps, so you get exactly what you need for your project

For example many like our Ink for Cosco HD Multi-Surface Stamps The Cosco 25ml (0.9 ounces) multi-surface bottles of ink are solvent-based inks that are quick drying, so you can stamp and repeat without worry of smudges or loss of legibility. Re-inking with the these inks lasts for thousands of impressions. Works great on glossy surfaces and is available in 3 colors: black, blue and red.

And here are just a few examples of the type of rave reviews these multi-surfaces inks get, consistent with the words of praise we get on over 14,000 five star reviews:

So whether you want to stamp your company logo on fine glassware, have a wedding stamp project, want to mark clothing for camp and sports, or seek to create something really beautiful, the best place to start your project, and keep it going in the right direction, is Rubber Stamp Champ!

Rubber stamps have been around for a long long time, and so has the logging industry, and in a way that might not easily come to mind without some clues, the two are intimately related.

The reason is this; Way back when rubber stamps first began there were no self inking or pre inked stamps like there are today, in fact there were only wood mounted rubber stamps made with a handle for use with a seperate ink pad.

That first clue is a pretty good one because wood mounted indicates logs might well be involved.

So let’s take a look at logs and logging and the trees that grow and eventually wind up, in part, as rubber stamps, and then we’ll get back to more of what you can expect if you do indeed want a wood mounted rubber hand stamp and you decide to come to Rubber Stamp Champ.

Logging arose when settlers first started arriving in Jamestown in 1607 and since then has formed a booming economic structure. Logging became incredibly important when the need for ship building became more frequent. In fact, in the 1790s, New England was exporting 36 million feet of pine boards and at least 300 ship masts per year.

The logging industry was so busy and in demand that the New England area regularly shipped lumber and products elsewhere and with the start of the Industrial Revolution the demand for lumber in general spiked. During the 1830s, Bangor, Maine, became the world’s biggest lumber shipping port in the United States.

Life for loggers was certainly not the easiest and some described it as simply rugged. These men worked in harsh and dangerous conditions with little to no access to water, warm meals, and clean clothes. Not to mention that they were away from their families and living in damp, dirty camps close to their work sites.

It wasn’t uncommon for these men to catch diseases and other things such as lice due to their work conditions. But one thing is for sure, they were extremely hard workers, paving a way for future men to earn money and take care of their families as well.

Today, with better equipment and probably a tad less suffering on the part of loggers and their families, trees are felled, trucked, cut up and put to use in everything from chairs and tables, to new home construction to the printed materials that so annoyingly come to your mailbox daily even though all you ever do is throw them right in the trash.

Fortunately, rubber hand stamps mounted on wood are way more toward the table and chair end of the usefulness spectrum as it relates to products made from trees, than is junk mail.

In an interesting way, even though rubber stamp technology has evolved far beyond the traditional wood mounted variety, we still make thousands of them, because in some ways they can’t be replaced by technology, since custom sizes and shapes can be made of wood in an almost unlimited way, where the newer self inkers are convenient but limited by a set number of sizes.

At Rubber Stamp Champ we make more custom rubber stamps online daily than anyone else in America, and while you won’t hear the sounds of large trees coming down anywhere near our place, if you did happen to walk in, for sure, back in the shop, you would hear the chop saw running as our stamp makers are custom cutting wood blocks for stamp orders as we speak.

Some things are faster than others, and while in old children’s books the tortoise outdid the hare, and everyone knew that slow and steady won the race, there are times when you need things in a hurry, and when there is no substitute for speed.

Frequently, when someone from our roster of hundreds of thousands of happy customers, orders a custom rubber stamp, or two or five hundred, they need said stamps in a real hurry. Either they waited to the last minute to order their custom pre inked stamps, special wood mounted stamps for use with a pad, or any of our other choices from our huge selection of personalized customized rubber stamps, or for whatever reason, they need them and they need them now.

You’ve probably also heard the old adage that if you need something done fast, give it to someone who is super busy. That applies very well to the Rubber Stamp Champ, since we get hundreds of stamp orders for thousands of stamps every single day, we are busy, and we not only get a lot of stamps done right, we get them done fast.

You can even order from us with overnight shipping and get your stamps the very next day anywhere in the country. Custom rubber stamps of all shapes, styles, types and sizes, made to order, the day you order them from RubberStampChamp.com! That’s fast!

If you know and love wolves, you may want to upload your wolf art at Rubber Stamp Champ and create a wolf rubber stamp to commemorate this beautiful creature.

The wolf has been protected since 1974, and may be coming back to some extent, but if you know the shocking history of this beautiful animal, it may be appropriate indeed to mark your papers and otherwise create wolf impressions with a wolf rubber stamp you can make yourself at Rubber Stamp Champ.

At Rubber Stamp Champ you can upload your art free and make a wolf wood hand stamp in a huge variety of sizes all the way up to 8×10.

Here’s a little history if you love wolves.

Few wild animals have captivated the human imagination like the wolf (Canis lupus), considered to be North America’s dominant carnivore. Other than the great apes, there are few animals that are as similar to humans in terms of their social organization and family structure. The indigenous peoples of the Americas understood this, frequently depicting the wolf in their art and oral histories. Their paintings and stories often displayed wolf and human joined as one powerful creature. In some legends, the wolf is given healing powers, and in others, the wolf saves people from a great flood. Most Native Americans believed in a strong kinship with the wolf and depicted it in a positive light.

For thousands of years, humans and wolves coexisted in this manner. There was a time when, excluding our own species, the wolf was the most widely distributed land mammal in the world. Although we cannot say with certainty, there were at least 250,000, and as many as two million, wolves inhabiting what would become the continental United States. This relationship drastically changed as European colonization began.

Through the systematic, vehement extermination of every wolf to be found, the U.S. won its war against wild nature. Over the course of a few centuries, the wolf population was reduced from the millions to the hundreds, with the last few survivors in the lower 48 states retreating deep into the woods of present-day Michigan and Minnesota for safety.

The fanaticism and scope of the crusade against wolves by the U.S. cannot be overstated. Naturalist writer Barry Lopez asserts that Americans persecuted wolves almost pathologically, and that, “wolf killing goes much beyond predator control…the history of killing wolves shows far less restraint and far more perversity.”

Keeping this dark history in perspective, it is truly miraculous that there are any wolves left in the U.S. at all. To be clear, the federal government incentivized the killing of wolves as late at 1965, and many hunters still combed the Great Lakes region for the elusive packs that had taken refuge there. Despite the hunters’ best efforts, the northern timber wolves held their ground and actually began to make a slight comeback. With the cover of a vast, dense forest, and the recolonization of dispersing wolves from Canada, Michigan and Wisconsin’s wolves persevered. By 1970, there were a few reports of wolf sightings farther from the Canadian border than there had been in over a decade. The last of America’s wild wolves were starting to win more public interest and concern, and talk of endangered species conservation and legislation had just begun in the environmentalist movement.

At Rubber Stamp Champ we know you sometimes need to made a very big impression! For that reason we have available extra large rubber stamps that can be ordered as large stock message rubber stamps, or custom wood mounted rubber stamps in large sizes.

You can easily upload your artwork on our site and we will produce for you a wood mounted or rocker mount rubber stamp up to 8″ x 10″ in size.

So for the people who say go big or go home, we say instead to go big at Rubber Stamp Champ.

And speaking of large, huge and extra large, our website offers a giant-sized selection of over 2500 rubber stamp and marking products! It’s almost scary!!

Rubber stamp makers mostly make rubber stamps, but at Rubber Stamp Champ we go way beyond stamp making and offer a huge selection of over 2500 different marking products.

For example, our rubber hand stamp selection alone is second to none.

Traditional rubber hand stamps for use with a pad continue to be a very popular item among businesses and consumers where stamping may require large or very small sizes not provided by self-inking stamps, and also as the most effective way to stamp permanent ink on glossy surfaces.

RubberStampChamp.com has always been the price and selection leader in hand stamps and now with this new expanded offering there is even more to choose from including round, square and rectangle shaped rubber stamps, from 1/4″ square stamps, to large rocker mounted stamps made as big as rubber stamps can be made.

Americans will never forget, nor should they, that on the morning of September 11, 2001, more than 3000 innocent people went to work like all of us did, but instead of working they got annihilated in a vicious and sick terrorist attack, in which many many people had only one decision to make, burn to death or jump to the pavement so far below.

That this fateful day became relevant to a tiny business thousands of miles away from the giants like Morgan-Stanley who were decimated by the attack, is a testament only to the far reaching aspects of the economic impact of that day.

Back then, only two people worked at Rubber Stamp Champ, not the 18 or more we have today, and one of them took a call shortly after 9/11 from Amtrak, where they were in need of 5000 custom self inking rubber stamps to mark passenger tickets with new information coming out of Homeland Security.

Time was of the essence, and the large stamp order would go to whichever company had both the best price and the fastest turnaround time.

We wanted the order for sure so came up with an excellent volume discount on the Ideal 100, and promised delivery of all 5000 in 3 weeks, thereby closing the deal.

How two people discovered a way to produce 5000 self inking stamps in 3 weeks is a pretty good story in itself, so stay tuned and we’ll get to that next.

For now, suffice it to say that great prices, volume discounts and fast turn around times–5000 stamps in less than a week now–are still how we roll at the Champ, all day…every day! Let’s Roll!…in part, to honor those who died from going to work on 9/11.

 

 

Throughout our 18 year history, RubberStampChamp.com has also been the recognized industry leader with astonishingly low prices on traditional wood mounted hand stamps.

For many reasons, the use of self inking and pre inked rubber stamps has never really completely replaced the use of traditional wooden stamps for use with a separate pad.

One reason is, these custom wood mounted hand rubber stamps from RubberStampChamp.com can be ordered in an almost unlimited range of sizes from tiny to huge, huge being a full 8 x 10 inches in size.
