Stamps Direct was established in 1964. We are manufacturers of rubber stamps. Over the past 40 years and more we have built up enormous experience, knowledge and expertise in all things concerning design, manufacturer and delivery of rubber stamps. Because we are manufacturers we are able to deliver most orders within 24 hours or if you wish to collect, even quicker. We can even make a stamp for you while you wait.
George Gigg started making rubber stamps in his garden shed after he became frustrated over the amount of time it took to get a rubber stamp delivered from London. George was working in the printing industry in Norwich but word soon got around of his new hobby and he found himself making more and more rubber stamps for local businesses who had suffered similar frustrations as himself. George found he was devoting more and more time to his “hobby” and people were actually paying him for the service he was providing. George gave up his printing job and together with his son Roland went full steam ahead in to rubber stamp production.
“Norwich Rubber Stamps” as they were first known soon outgrew the garden shed and relocated to 111 Eade Road in Norwich were we still remain to this day. Sales increased, George took on more staff and the business began to grow. Around this time George’s eldest son Tony joined and later Christine, George’s daughter, could resist it no longer and joined in the fun, making it a real family business. George, Tony, Christine and Roland are now all enjoying their retirements but there are still three of George’s grandchildren involved in the business.
We currently operate from three sites; Norwich, Cambridge and Lincoln. Website orders are processed at Norwich and customers may if they wish collect their rubber stamps from any branch. The vast majority of our rubber stamps are sent same or next day via first class post. Recorded or special Delivery can also be arranged. We are the UK's main manufacturer of the Shiny brand of self-inking stamps. We also supply Colop, Trodat, Dormy, Alpo, Justrite and Maxum self-inking rubber stamps.
We believe most people want to order a rubber stamp with a minimum of fuss time and effort. When ordering a customized stamp you simply make three decisions; type of stamp, size of stamp and text content. We have been designing rubber stamps for years and we will transform your basic looking text into something appropriate for the type of stamp and the type of content you have requested. You can always add further instructions to tell us exactly want you want but we generally find people are more than happy to leave the finer points of the design up to us.
