The unit delivers a clear circular date impression using adjustable rubber date bands and an integrated replaceable ink pad. Its durable plastic housing and compact form factor make it suitable for repetitive stamping on documents such as incoming mail, invoices, delivery notes and archive records.

Advantages

The self-inking mechanism ensures consistent prints without the need for a separate ink pad, reducing downtime between impressions.

The robust casing is intended for regular use and the replaceable ink pad simplifies maintenance and extends service life.

How to use
