logostempels

Logostempels, or logo stamps, refer to devices that transfer a logo or emblem onto a surface using ink or pressure. They come in several formats, including rubber stamps with a separate ink pad, self-inking stamps with an integrated ink unit, pre-inked stamps, and embossing seals that create a raised impression without ink. Related tools include branding irons and hot stamps used to apply an image by heat on leather, wood, or synthetic materials.

Design and production typically involve creating a relief image of the logo that can be transferred in reverse. For rubber or acrylic stamps, the image is carved or laser-engraved onto a block so the final impression reads correctly. Self-inking and pre-inked stamps contain built-in ink reservoirs, allowing quick, repeated impressions. Important factors when selecting a logostempel include impression size, line weight, level of detail, ink compatibility with the substrate, and durability of the stamp.

Applications cover a range of business and creative contexts. In offices and packaging, logostempels are used to brand documents, envelopes, invoices, labels, and product packaging. They are also employed in retail and hospitality for receipts and loyalty materials, and by craftspeople for scrapbooking or handmade goods. The choice of stamp type affects speed, cleanliness of the impression, and the ability to reproduce a consistent logo across batches.

Intellectual property considerations are relevant: reproducing a logo with a stamp requires proper authorization from the logo owner. Maintenance includes cleaning ink residues, replacing worn rubber or plates, and storing stamps away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve clarity of the impression.
