Trodat 4612 12mm Diameter Loyalty Stamp
The Trodat 4612 is a small, self-inking rubber stamp. It is small enough to fit in your pocket, like a lipgloss tube.
To use the stamp, you simply pick it up, pull off the cap, place it over the area you want to stamp, and press down firmly. The stamp has a viewing area so you can accurately locate the spot to mark. Once you have pressed down, release the pressure and the stamp will pop back up. Finally, replace the cap and put the stamp back in your pocket.
The maximum image area for the stamp is 11.5mm in diameter. This is a small area, so it is best used for simple text or logos. Complex logos or large amounts of text will not fit in the space.
The Trodat 4612 stamp has a replaceable ink pad that can last for hundreds to a few thousand stampings. The ink pad can also be topped up with a drop or two of Trodat 7011 ink if needed.
This stamp is commonly used for loyalty cards, teacher's marking, and quality assurance work. It is important to note that the standard water-based ink will smudge or smear off of glossy surfaces. This stamp is also not suitable for non-porous surfaces.
If you have a glossy surface it is recommend you order a dry pad and a bottle of Noris 191 Ink that is suitable for this type of surface (you will need to allow 20-40 seconds for it to dry)
Square models of the 12mm loyalty stamps are also available - Trodat 4921
Note – this stamp is smaller than your thumb nail. Complex logos will not work. Keep it super simple.
