A method for manufacturing a plate support for a self-inking stamp and plate support with a print side for attaching a text plate to the plate support, with two journals defining a swiveling axis of the plate support about which swiveling axis the plate support is mounted to swivel when used in a self-inking stamp, and with a reinforcing axle at least partially penetrating the two journals, integrally forms the journals with the plate support.

An indexing image for craft stamps that is opaque to the eye but transparent to UV light is produced by printing a wavelength-specific solvent-based ink on the stamp substrate. This eliminates the step of printing a separate adhesive-backed indexing image sheet and applying it to the substrate.

A spin art stamp creating device includes a tray, a spinner platform, and a stamper. The tray includes a raised shelf therein, wherein the raised shelf includes a centrally-located hole. The spinner platform is configured to be received within the tray. The spinner platform has a central opening, wherein the central opening is configured to receive a ball bearing. The ball bearing defines a central hole which overlies and aligns with the centrally-located hole of the tray. The stamper includes a post configured to be received by both the central hole of the ball bearing and the centrally-located hole of the tray, such that the stamper and the spinner platform are configured to simultaneously rotate within the tray about the ball bearing of the spinner platform.

Provides is a seal surface carving apparatus capable of carving a seal surface using only a single attachment irrespective of a size of a stamp. A porous impression die having a seal surface to be carved is set on a dedicated attachment, and is loaded in a seal surface carving apparatus. A fitting projection fit to a bottom portion of the impression die is formed on the attachment, and impression dice having various sizes may be set. In addition, a slit hole extending in a conveyance direction is formed in an impression die setting portion of the attachment. Impression die size determination means of the seal surface carving apparatus determines a size of the impression die by detecting a position at which the impression die blocks the slit hole.
