kontorsstämpel

A kontorsstämpel, or office stamp, is a rubber stamp commonly used in offices for various administrative purposes. These stamps typically contain pre-set text or symbols that are frequently needed for document processing. Common examples include stamps indicating "Paid," "Received," "Approved," "Urgent," or "For Filing." They can also be used for company logos, addresses, or internal routing information.

The primary function of a kontorsstämpel is to save time and ensure consistency in repetitive tasks. Instead of handwriting or typing the same information repeatedly, a quick press of the stamp achieves the desired result efficiently. This standardization is particularly useful in environments where large volumes of documents are handled daily, such as in accounting departments, mailrooms, or legal offices.

Kontorsstämplar are typically made of rubber mounted on a wooden or plastic handle. The rubber die is inked using a separate ink pad, and then pressed onto the document. Modern variations include self-inking stamps, which have a built-in ink pad and automatically re-ink the die after each impression, further increasing efficiency. They are a simple yet effective tool that has remained a staple in office environments for decades due to their practicality and cost-effectiveness.
