Custom rubber stamp production for the Trodat 5212 self-inking stamp always starts with 3 items:

  1. A Trotec Laser specially designed and constructed by Trodat to make AWESOME custom rubber stamps.
  2. Rubber material directly from Trodat, the world’s largest rubber stamp manufacturer.
  3. A stamping mechanism, this time a Trodat 5212 self-inking rubber stamp no less!

Using this perfect trifecta, CNCROi.com then ups the resolution to a thousand DPI to produce flawlessly perfect custom rubber for the Trodat 5212 that our customers across North America (and the Bahamas in this case) have come to enjoy from us.

Our customers love our custom stamps!
