What size rubber stamp should I choose?
We offer rubber stamps in the following standard sizes:
Tiny: 15 x 15mm
Extra Small: 30 x 30mm
Small: 30 x 50mm
Medium: 50 x 50mm
Large: 80 x 40mm
Extra Large: 100 x 60mm
When selecting your rubber stamp size, consider:
What size stamp can be produced with your image?
There are some limitations to the level of detail and font size that a rubber stamp can reproduce. Avoid going too small with your stamp if your design includes intricate detail or lots of text. We recommend any text in your design be no less than the equivalent of Arial pt size 8 when scaled to your chosen stamp size.
What's your desired print size relative to the material/s you'll be stamping?
Looking at the size of the material/s you intend to stamp [e.g. a cotton drawstring bag, cardboard mailer, envelope, etc] and consider how large or small you'd like your logo to be on that item. To get an idea of how your design will be scaled inside of the size you choose, we've created a template with each size rubber stamp: Custom Rubber Stamp Size Guide.
For every custom stamp order, we provide an artwork proof showing your design scaled to your chosen stamp size, so you can be certain before we produce your rubber stamp.
What size looks best?
This comes down to personal preference. You might like the logo large and bold, or maybe you're going for a more subtle look. While we can give our opinion, it's going to be just one opinion - the choice is yours!

Rubber Stamp Size Guide
These sizes refer the printable area of the stamp, and the measurements indicate the maximum height or width that your design will be for the stamp size you’ve chosen. Your design doesn’t need exactly to match both dimensions – it will be scaled to be as large as it can be within stamp size you choose [unless you require a specific size, e.g. you may choose a Medium size stamp, but request the design to be 45mm].
Our Small, Large and Extra Large stamps are best suited to rectangular shape designs, while our Tiny, Extra Small and Medium are best for circular or square shaped designs. To get the best value, consider the proportions of your design when selecting your stamp size.
Below is how the same design would be scaled within each rubber stamp size.
After something custom outside the standard sizes? We can do that too, get in touch to discuss your needs.
