Laser Engraving Rubber Stamps

Where can I go to get craft art rubber stamps of my designs made and mass produced?

I am an artist and want to start getting my designs printed onto crafting stamps.
I found a few online sites that are run by small home businesses that offer these services, however they don't do mass producing.
Also it cost me about £40 for just the one design to be made, which isn't very cost efficient since I want to start up my own business.
I've seen a few places around that can sell you the machinery to make these stamps yourself, but yet again this is very expensive!
Is there anywhere online that can produce these?

I've found plenty of mass producing sites for laser engraving, sticker making, plasticc charm making and so on!
So there surely must be one for crafting stamps somewhere or other?

I use RubberStamps.net, but they're in the USA which means shipping will be an issue to the UK. For one-offs you're looking at US$10 or less (£6.50). Just ask for mail to the UK and even shipping won't be an issue.

Rubber Stamp Making

How to Choose a Stamp?

History of ‘Stamping’

The stamp (and its usage) has a history that can be traced as far back as 3000BC. This was the time when stamps and seals came into use. During those days, verbal or written communication was not easy. This gave rise to the extensive use of stamps, and more common in those days, seals. These seals would usually come from a hand stamp or a ring to mark vital documents.

Some ancient civilizations, and later, some of the aboriginal cultures from the recent past, practiced a primitive form of rubber stamping to “mark and tattoo” images on their bodies.

The first modern usage of rubber stamps was seen as early as 1866, used to stamp information on bath tubs.

Types of Stamps

The ancient civilizations had stamps and seals made from an array of materials - stone, wood, bone and metals. Today such stamps and seals are most often made from rubber.

• Rubber Stamp - Here, information (seal of approval, receipt, address, art, logo, etc.) is carved onto a flat piece of rubber, and that is mounted onto a stable object like wood, acrylic, or metal make for efficient and easier usage. They need a separate ink pad.

• Self inking Stamps – Self inking stamps are an ‘evolved’ version of the original rubber stamp. These stamps don’t need a separate ink pad, and can be used, and re-used, giving you the same consistency every time.

While choosing a stamp, one must keep in mind the use of the stamp. For example, if you are looking for a stamp which would have to remain the same – a company seal, or a “NO EXCHANGE, NO REFUND” stamp, then you can prefer a relatively cheaper static rubber stamp.

If your work demands that you use the stamp repeatedly and want the impressions to be consistent, you would like to try the self inking stamps.

On the other hand, if you are looking for stamps which may need to change in content - to date incoming mails, memos, etc. then you should go for business stamps with movable parts, to adjust the dates, etc. whenever needed.
