Ink Pad Pelikan 00331017 in Metal Casing — Blue Ink, Metal Housing

Pelikan ink pad in a metal casing with blue ink is a compact rectangular stamp pad designed for reliable, repeatable impressions on paper and card. The durable metal housing protects the inked surface and helps preserve moisture, while the blue ink delivers clear, professional marks for office, administrative, and craft tasks. The pad size corresponds to common plate sizes used for small-to-medium stamps, offering consistent coverage across repeated use.

Advantages

The metal casing offers enhanced durability compared with plastic housings and protects the ink pad from accidental damage and drying out when closed. Blue ink provides high contrast on white and light-coloured paper, ensuring legible impressions. The compact rectangular format is easy to store and handle, and the construction supports repeatable stamping performance for everyday administrative or craft needs.

Suitable for

• Office stamping and document marking
• Administrative use in schools, banks, and public offices
• Craft projects and home stamping on paper and card
• Small business use for date, approval, or address stamps

When it may not be suitable

This ink pad is formulated for use on paper and card and may not perform well on non-porous surfaces such as plastic, metal, or glossy film. For very large stamps or high-volume industrial marking, users may prefer a larger pad size or a dedicated automatic ink supply to maintain consistent saturation.

Key specifications

• Ink colour: Blue
• Housing material: Metal
• Typical pad footprint: approximately 110 × 70 mm (rectangular format compatible with small-to-medium stamp plates)
• Intended substrates: paper, card
• Available in inked and uninked variants; other ink colours commonly available include black, red, and green

How to use

Open the metal casing and press the rubber stamp plate evenly onto the inked surface to transfer ink. For best results, apply steady, even pressure and lift the stamp straight up to avoid smudging. Close the metal lid after use to reduce evaporation and prolong the life of the pad. If impressions become faint, re-ink with compatible stamp ink or replace the pad when saturation is no longer adequate.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the pad footprint matches your stamp plate size (examples: small 5 × 7 cm, medium 7 × 11 cm, large 9 × 16 cm)
• Ensure blue ink is appropriate for your documents and provides the required contrast
• Check whether you need an already inked pad or an uninked housing to ink yourself
• Consider storage conditions—store closed in a cool, dry place to prevent drying

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible rubber or polymer stamp plates sized to the pad footprint and keep the metal lid closed between uses. For consistent impressions, re-ink with manufacturer-recommended stamp ink when needed and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
