Business stamp Trodat 1117D, red/white plastic housing

The Trodat 1117D business stamp features a compact red and white plastic housing and an integrated self-inking mechanism, designed for frequent repetitive marking in office and administrative environments. The device produces crisp, legible impressions of short status texts such as "ANSWERED", "BACKORDERED", "CANCELLED", "BILLED", "RECEIVED", "CHARGED", "CHECKED", "DELIVERED", "ENTERED", "PAID", "SHIPPED", and "FAXED". Its small footprint makes it convenient to keep on a desk or in a supply drawer for quick access during daily document processing.

Advantages

The self-inking mechanism provides consistently clear impressions without the need for a separate ink pad, reducing maintenance and downtime. The durable plastic housing is lightweight yet sturdy for repeated use, and the compact design saves workspace. Predefined status texts save time compared with handwriting, while the contrasting color scheme improves visibility in a busy office setting.

• General office document processing and filing

How to use

Place the stamp on a flat surface and position the document beneath the impression area. Press the top of the housing firmly and evenly to make an imprint.

If the impression fades over time, re-ink or replace the integrated pad following the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use on standard paper and cardboard surfaces; avoid textured or highly glossy media to ensure legible impressions. Store the stamp horizontally in a cool, dry place when not in use and keep the impression area clean from dust and debris to maintain consistent print quality.
