DuraFire™ Stamp Pads

The DuraFireTM Stamp Pads are designed specifically for the DuraFire™ Marking Inks. Most stamp pads are design for standard stamp pad inks which moves freely through the pad. DuraFire™ inks are heaver and do not move as freely in a standard pad. As a result the standard pad design partially blocks the ink from reaching the top. This process causes lighter or incomplete imprints and premature dry pads. The DuraFire™ Stamp Pad construction is designed to provide continues ink flow from pad bottom to the top.

Pads are clearly labeled with the DuraFire™ Marking Ink product number which meets OSHA label requirements and multiple ink processes. There four sizes to meet your marking requirements:
Model# Size Price ($)
#0 2.25" x 3.5" 4.04
#1 2.5" x 4.25" 4.44
#2 3.25" x 6.125" 6.02
