A date stamp

A date stamp is often called a dater. It is a seal for making an impression with a date (for example, date, month, year, and other display formats).  

Daters are used in accounting, food industry, warehouses, offices, banks, cash desks, and a post office. They allow you to put important information on many documents, letters, receipts, warranty cards, prescriptions, packages, insurance policies and so on. 

There are different types of daters, for example:

1. Models with a free field. In addition to the place for a month, a day and a year, such an embosser has a free space in which a customer can enter any additional information, for instance, an industrial company full name or a monogram and shipping details.  
2. Specialized ones. For example, round postal stamps with an address and a zip code.  

Why do we need custom date stamps?

These seals are useful in quick printing dates or on various surfaces of any color, may it be paper, fabric, etc.

Here are some applications of daters:

1. Working with documentation. Such seals help you date price tags, reports, and documents.  
2. Product labeling. Date stamps are used to indicate the time of release, the end date of sale, and the product numbers.  
3. A marking of mail. Daters allow you to mark when important letters or any other papers are received.

Rules of selecting a stamp with a date 

The following information may be useful in selecting them. 

There are two most popular ways to mark a date on stamps.

Arabic numerals separated by a dot or a slash, for example: 06/05/2016. 

With words and digits, for instance: June 5, 2016.

The font is also an integral element of stamp design. It affects the readability and overall perception of a print. It is recommended to choose the one that will be readable even with a small size of letters.

Also you should remember that large empty spaces in the layout should be avoided, as ink rubber stamps always make paint stains in such places.
