A hand-held tool attached with a personalised rubber or polymer plate is used for imprinting specific information, such as names, dates, symbols, or other personalised details, onto surfaces. 

There are two commonly used rubber stamp which are: Ordinary Stamps and Self Inking stamps.

The type of stamp that requires the user to press the rubber plate onto an ink pad before transferring the imprint onto the desired surface, such as paper or cardboard.

A stamp that features an integrated ink pad, eliminating the need for a separate ink pad to imprint the image on the surface.

Self-inking stamps offer convenience and efficiency as they come with built-in ink pads that automatically re-ink after each impression, eliminating the need for separate ink pads.

This type of stamp features an integrated adjustable date at the centre to imprint the exact date.

To indicate that the document has been officially processed or approved to maintain organisation efficiency and document integrity.

Rubber stamp prices vary from Kshs 300 for ordinary wooden stamps; and from kshs 1000 for a self inking stamp. The price is determined by the type, size and complexity of the stamp.

Self inking stamps (Round or rectangular Shape) with a place to manually write a date and sign, are the commonly used stamps by advocates and commissioners for Oaths.

Oval Self inking stamps with an adjustable date are the commonly used stamps by Churches and schools.

To set the date, turn the stamp upside down and ensure the stamp name faces you, depress it fully until the date face up, adjust the date bands from the left year, Month and date.
