Address stamps are a great investment. They are both simple to use, and cost-effective. Anyone who has ever tried printing multiple envelopes knows that they tend to jam in the machine. What is supposed to be an easy task often turns into a disaster and becomes a time-consuming project. Address stamps solve that problem–and they are versatile as well. Use them for postcards, letters or even business correspondence.

Printing out a bunch of mailing labels can be a solution to printer jams, but the address stamp is actually easier, and it requires less in the way of supplies as well. Printed labels can peel off of the envelope or smear easily, but stamping insures that the return address will stay put. The bottom line is, it’s a simple and efficient solution for all of your mailing needs.

You can select simple rubber stamps and use them with an ink pad, or invest in self inking stamps. Both are a good choice and will last for a long time, so it is really a matter of preference which kind you pick. Self-inking stamps come in red, blue and black, and they work well for personal or professional use. They are an ideal solution for the small business that wants to look professional but doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on customized labels.

There are some ways you can employ the address stamp that you may not think of initially. You can use it to keep track of property by doing things such as stamping the inside of books that you own. It is also a great way to keep track of children’s school supplies so that they know which notebooks and folders are theirs; both at school and at home.
