Permanent Ink vs Standard Ink Stamps: Which Ink Colour & Type Should You Choose?
If you’ve ever said “My stamp didn’t come out properly”, chances are —
👉 the problem wasn’t the stamp
👉 it was the ink type
Before choosing stamp ink based on colour, you need to understand where you’re stamping. Ink behaviour changes completely depending on the surface.
Let’s break it down simply.

Why Stamp Ink Type Matters More Than Colour
Not all inks behave the same.
Some inks sit on top of the surface.
Some inks absorb into the surface.
If you use the wrong one, the result is:
Smudging
Faded impressions
Patchy or invisible stamps
That’s why we offer two different ink stamp categories, each designed for specific surfaces.
---
1️⃣ Permanent Ink Stamps (Glossy + Matte Surfaces)
Permanent Ink Stamps are designed to work on almost everything.
Best for:
Glossy paper
Coated cards
Plastic packaging
Stickers & labels
Matte surfaces as well
This ink dries quickly and sits cleanly on non-porous surfaces without spreading.
Available colours:
Black
White
> If your surface is shiny, coated, or smooth — this is the ink you need.
---
2️⃣ Standard Ink Stamps (For Matte & Porous Surfaces Only)
Our Standard Ink Stamps are meant for surfaces that can absorb ink.
Best for:
Paper
Fabric
Kraft sheets
Wood
Other porous or matte materials
These inks soak into the surface, giving a soft and clean impression — but they will not work on glossy materials.
Available colours:
Red
Blue
Green
Black
Purple
> If the surface absorbs ink, this category gives you more colour choices.

Common Mistake to Avoid While Ordering Stamp Ink
❌ Choosing ink only by colour
❌ Ignoring the surface material
✔ Always decide based on surface first
✔ Then choose the colour
If you stamp on glossy material with standard ink, the ink will spread or wipe off — no matter how good the stamp is.

Which Stamp Ink Should You Choose?
Ask yourself one question before ordering:
👉 Is my surface glossy or porous?
Glossy / coated / smooth? → Choose Permanent Ink Stamps
Paper / fabric / wood / kraft? → Choose Standard Ink Stamps
This one decision ensures clean, professional stamping every single time.
