Does anyone know where I can get stamping tools made of my own designs?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! 

I am new here. I am browsing and it looks like a wonderful community. I was wondering if anyone knows a company I can go to and get stamps made of my artwork?

I  know of one place that does makers marks and technically, they should be able to make what I am looking for, but would like to see a few places that might do this.

Steel stamps, Sergey Noskrimny, Clay Miller, Robert Beard, Barry King can all make custom stamps.  If you're looking for More makers mark style stamps, Greg Turner, Jeff Mosby and a few others can make them out of Delrin.

I have never used any Delrin stamps, so I cannot comment on the comparison with brass, steel or diecast, but my 1st option would be Sergey, also known as arbelet12 on this site. I have several of his tools, including a maker's mark and I am almost ready to place another order. His gear is exceptionally good IMHO.

Thank you all for the information. I am working on designs and will be looking at these.

I've had my own stamps made via 3D printing. I had my doubts that the hard plastics (PLA or ABS) would stand up to hammering or leave a clean impression, but I decided it was worth a shot. 

Obviously this requires some existing knowledge of 3D modeling, some time spent learning, or paying a 3D modeler for some freelance work. I made my design in Google Sketchup, a free and simple program, exported it as an .stl file, and sent it to http://shapeways.com

I got the design printed in ABS plastic for around $4 a stamp head, put them on my hefty hand from Springfield Leather Company, and I've had no troubles with them at all. They leave a clean impression, and work well.
