What makes the noissue Embosser eco-friendly?  

noissue Embossers are made from metal to ensure durability and reusability - they're designed to last, and a longer lifespan means less waste. Long live the noissue Embosser!

What model, size, and orientation is the noissue Embosser?

We always want to give you the best of the best, which is why we use the famously ergonomic and effortless Trodat Ideal Seal Press model for noissue Embossers.

With compact body dimensions of 118mm x 71mm x 25mm (4.6" x 2.8" x 1") and an impression size of 41mm x 41mm (1.6" x 1.6"), our embossers pack a punch without cramping your workspace.

Embossing is effortless and easy with a bottom insert orientation and 67mm mouth length, as shown here:

Can I use my noissue Stamp design for my noissue Embosser?

noissue Stamps and noissue Embossers are definitely in the same family of packaging embellishment, but they aren't twins, and both have their own requirements and restrictions when it comes to design. For example, noissue Embosser designs can't be inverted like stamp designs can, so be sure to cater your design to each product accordingly. Don't worry, our Pre-Press Team will also help you make sure everything's perfect before your embosser goes into production!

Can you help with my noissue Embosser design?

We're always here to lend a hand in making your perfect noissue Embosser - be sure to check out the Print Perfect Checklist for our print requirements and dielines! Here are some starting design tips to get the best printing results:

- Text height should be at least 1mm (6pt).

- Solid lines should be at least 0.8mm thick, and hollowed lines should be at least 2mm thick.

- Spaces between each design element (i.e. letters) should be at least 0.6mm wide.

- Text or lines after embossing will appear thicker than the original design, so keep your design simple for a cleaner impression.

Don't forget that our incredible Pre-Press Team is always here to help you out, too, and we'll ensure you're happy with your final design before we seal the deal.

What order quantities are available for the noissue Embosser?

The maximum order quantity for noissue Embossers is 5, but if you want more, just add another set to your cart! Same thing goes for embossers with different designs - just add in a separate order of embossers for each design until you're all stocked up and ready to checkout.

What materials can I use the noissue Embosser on?

For the best results, use your noissue Embossers to spruce up your paper packaging with a recommended thickness/paper weight of at least 80gsm. Try giving it a whirl on your noissue Cards, Kraft Mailers, Hang Tags, or any other paper-based material of your dreams.

You can definitely use it on thinner or thicker material, but just keep in mind that the impression may tear the material or be very subtle if the material is too thin or too thick, respectively. 80gsm thickness is the sweet spot!

How do I use the noissue Embosser? 

Setting up and using your noissue Embosser is a breeze! All you have to do is:

1. Lift up the embosser lever and take out your custom designed embosser plates.

2. Insert your embosser plates into the mouth of the embosser.

3. Place your material between the plates, and press down on the embosser lever. Make sure to apply enough pressure on both sides for the best results (you may hear a small click sound to let you know it's imprinted) - handle your embosser similar to how you would handle a stapler!

What makes the noissue Stamp eco-friendly?  

noissue Stamps are made from quality materials that have a longer lifespan. The manual stamp is made with wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC), and the self-inking version is made from over 65% post-consumer plastics, which gives a second life to plastic materials already in circulation. Both stamps come with soy-based ink, so your imprint won't interfere with the compostability or recyclability of the materials you're stamping on! 

What types and sizes are available for the noissue Stamp?

We have 2 types of noissue Stamps, each with their own range of sizes.

The manual version is a classic wooden stamp that comes with a soy-based ink pad of your color choice, and it's available in the following sizes:

- 30mm x 30mm (1" x 1")

- 50mm x 50mm (2" x 2")

- 80mm x 80mm (3" x 3")

The self-inking version has a ready-to-go ink cartridge of your color choice so you can stamp with one press, available in these sizes:

- 9mm x 26mm (0.5" x 1")

- 22mm x 58mm (1" x 2")

- 50mm x 50mm (2" x 2")

What ink colors are available for the noissue Stamp?

For your noissue Stamp, you can choose between 4 classic ink colors:

- Black
- Blue (closest to PMS 300 C)
- Red (closest to PMS 032 C)
- Green (closest to PMS 354 C)

Can you help with my noissue Stamp design?

We're always here to lend a hand in making your perfect noissue Stamp. Here are some design tips to get the best printing results:

- Text height should be at least 1.5mm.

- Line thickness should be at least 0.2mm.

- Keep the design 1.5mm away from the cut line edges.

- Avoid very intricate details, as simpler design stamp cleaner and clearer!

- Don't want to design your stamp from scratch? No worries - you can choose from our wide range of design templates, thoughtfully crafted by the noissue Creative Community.

Don't forget that our incredible Pre-Press Team is always here to help you out, too, and we'll ensure you're happy with your final design before we get printing.

What materials can I use the noissue Stamp on?

We've seen  the noissue Stamp make beautiful imprints on cards, boxes, paper bags, hang tags, wood pieces, coffee cups, and more (of course, we recommend pairing them with your favorite noissue products)!

Have a look at some examples here, gather some inspiration, and show us how you personally use your noissue Stamp by using the hashtag #noissuestamps.

How should I care for my noissue Stamp?

The noissue Stamp doesn't require much maintenance, but here are a few handy tips to keep yours in optimum condition:

- Store your stamp in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoiding heat and light prevents the rubber on your stamp from melting, distorting, or cracking.

- Don't use "bad" inks (AKA alcohol and solvent inks). Using soy-based or water-based inks better preserves the rubber on your stamp. Our Water Based Ink Refills are a great option!

- Give it a gentle clean every now and again using a damp cloth or non-chemical based wipe.

What is the shelf life of the noissue Stamp?

The manual version of your noissue Stamp will last you for well over 10,000 impressions with proper care, while the self-inking version can last 10 times longer that!

The ink pad should last you at least 6 months - just make sure to keep the lid completely closed when not in use to avoid drying out the ink. For the self-inking stamp, each separate ink cartridge will last for well over 500 impressions before you need to reload.

Be sure to stock up on our Water Based Ink Refills so you're ready to refresh your stamp when the time comes!

How do I refill the ink for my noissue Stamp?

If it's time to juice up your noissue Stamp again, replenishing your ink is super easy! First, make sure you have an ink refill on hand - we recommend our Water Based Ink Refills.

The refill process is different depending on what type of stamp you have: for the manual version, you can add your ink directly to the ink pad that came with your noissue Stamp; for the self-inking version, you'll just need to push out the ink pad first, and then add your ink! Make sure to give the fresh ink some time to soak in for the best results.

Be sure to watch this helpful video from @hopelesscindy on TikTok for a how-to on refilling both versions of our noissue Stamp with our Water Based Ink Refills!

What makes the Water Based Ink Refills eco-friendly?  

These Water Based Ink Refills are acid-free, non-toxic, and biodegradable. This means they won't harm the environment or interfere with the end-of-life cycle for the materials you use them on. Use them with your noissue Stamp to make your guilt-free mark on our noissue Kraft Boxes, noissue Kraft Mailers, and more!

What colors and sizes are available for the Water Based Ink Refills?

Like the original soy-based inks that come with your noissue Stamp order, these Water Based Ink Refills come in 4 classic colors: black, blue, green, and red.

Mix and match the colors with 2-3 different sizes, depending on your location:

- UK available sizes (2): 30ml. / 500ml.
