BEYOND THE STAMPS
The rest of the bench
Molds, cutters, letter sets and the modular builders. Same brass, same bench.
Milled from solid brass bar with a stainless handle, hand-finished in the workshop in Novi Sad.
Each stamp is cut after you order it. Current production and transit times are on the FAQ.
Organised by theme, by use and by size, so you can actually find the one you want.
TECHNIQUE / MATERIAL / METHOD
Before you strike
What we have written down from the bench.
Stamping needs vegetable-tanned leather - chrome-tanned will not take an impression. Case it damp, not wet, back it with stone or steel, and strike once, hard.

Questions
How long until my stamp arrives?
Making it: 2-5 business days. Every stamp is cut to order in our workshop - nothing sits on a shelf waiting. You will get an email the moment yours goes on the machine.
Getting it to you: usually two to three weeks by tracked post to the US and most of Europe. Checkout shows a real delivery window in business days for whichever service you pick.
Express speeds up the journey, not the making. Working to a deadline? Write to us before you order and we will tell you straight whether we can make it.
Will these work on my leather?
Vegetable-tanned, lightly cased - damp to the touch, not wet.
Use 3 mm leather or thicker. On thinner leather you will need a backing scrap underneath, or the pattern will distort the back. Chrome-tanned leather will not hold an impression at all - it springs back.
Do I need a press, or is a mallet enough?
A mallet is enough for most of our stamps, and it is how most of our customers work. Use a heavy poly or rawhide mallet rather than a light one - weight does the work, so you do not have to swing hard.
A press gives more consistency across a long run and helps on the largest designs. It is not required. Work on something solid - a granite slab under the leather makes far more difference than most people expect.
What does shipping cost?
Free over $50 to the United States, over $75 to Europe, over $95 everywhere else. Below that it is a flat tracked rate - $11 to the US, $10-18 within Europe, $14-20 elsewhere.
Checkout shows the exact figure for your address before you pay anything. Two stamps usually clears free shipping in the US.
Can I return a stamp?
Yes - 30 days from the day your order is delivered, not from the day you ordered, so the time your parcel spends in transit does not count against you.
The stamp needs to be unused and in its original packaging. Email info@stampleather.co for a return authorisation number before sending anything back.
Who makes them?
We do - a small family workshop in Novi Sad, Serbia. The designs are drawn here, the brass is milled here on our own machines, and every tool is finished by hand before it goes in the box. We are not a reseller putting a name on someone else's tools.
