Free Recycled Packaging Rubber Stamp Art (Updated)

[10.25.07]

If you're a retailer who ships your products in reused or recycled packaging, then this one's for you. A fellow member of the Co-op America Business Network recently asked about rubber stamp art that they could use to inform their customers about their packaging materials.

I whipped up this template you can use to get your own custom rubber stamp made for this purpose.

The following artwork should be acceptable for most stamp makers (the line widths in this image should meet minimum requirements of 2 mm), but if your stamp maker feels the line thickness is not big enough, contact me and I'll see what I can do. Also, note which file format your printer requires and select the appropriate one (if neither will work for you, again let me know and I'll see what I can do).

Instructions for 300 dpi jpeg:
1. Click on the image below (it'll open in a new window).
2. Right-click (PC) or control-click (Mac) on the larger image and choose "Save Image As."
3. Send image to your local rubber stamp maker via ftp or email.
4. Stamp away!
Free reduce, reuse, recycle rubber stamp art for retailers and shippers

Instructions for 600 dpi tiff:
1. Click on the image below (it should start downloading to your default downloads folder immediately).
2. Send image to your local rubber stamp maker via ftp or email.
3. Stamp away!
Free reduce, reuse, recycle rubber stamp art for retailers and shippers

If you do end up using this to create a stamp, please consider emailing me a photo of the finished stamp in action!
