Fragile & Care Instructions Stamp – 18 Designs

A fragile and care instructions stamp for packaging, with 18 ready-made designs and permanent ink that works on plastic as well as paper. It is 4cm x 4cm, costs ₹595, and carries no name — so there is no proof stage and no waiting. Pick your design number from the chart images above, choose your ink colour, and we make it.

Fragile, handle with care, this side up, keep dry. The instructions that decide whether your parcel arrives intact — stamped clearly instead of scrawled in marker on the third box of the evening.

Why the permanent ink matters

This one matters more here than anywhere else in the range. A lot of fragile items ship in poly mailers or glossy boxes, and matte ink smudges on both — a smeared FRAGILE is worse than none. The permanent pre-inked version holds on:

• Poly mailers and courier bags
• Laminated and glossy printed boxes
• Plastic containers, jars and lids
• Kraft mailers, corrugated cartons and paper bags
• Bubble wrap sleeves and shipping labels

Anyone shipping glass, ceramics, candles, pottery, resin, framed prints or anything that arrives broken more often than it should. Also skincare and food brands who need a storage line on the outer box.

How to use it

Press straight down on a flat surface with even pressure, then lift straight up without rocking. Stamp it where a courier will actually see it — the top face and one side, not the underside. On plastic and glossy surfaces, let the impression dry before stacking.

Frequently asked questions

Does a fragile stamp actually make couriers handle the parcel carefully?

Not reliably, and we would rather say so. It helps, and it tells your customer you thought about it, but pack for a drop regardless. Treat the stamp as a signal, not as protection.

Which ink colour should I choose for a fragile stamp?

Red. This is the one product in our range where red beats black, because it reads as a warning at a glance on brown kraft and on a busy courier belt.

Will it work on poly mailers and glossy boxes?

Yes, and this is the main reason to choose this version. The permanent ink bonds to non-porous surfaces where matte ink would smudge.

Can I add my business name?

No. This range is ready-made designs with no name. For your name or logo, see our personalised and custom logo stamp listings.

Do I get a design proof before it is made?

No. Nothing is customised, so it ships faster than a custom order.

How do I choose which of the 18 designs I want?

Note the design number from the chart images above and type it into the box at checkout. If you leave it blank we will message you before making anything.

What size is the stamp?

The impression is 4cm x 4cm. Large enough to read at a glance on a moving parcel, small enough for a mailer.

Which design should I buy if I can only buy one?

Fragile, in red. It is the instruction that does the most work. Handle with care is the usual second.

What is the care instructions design with the blank lines for?

It stamps a heading and three empty ruled lines onto a card or box so you can handwrite care details per product, instead of printing a separate insert for every item.

Do I need an ink pad?

No. The ink is held inside the body and gives thousands of impressions before re-inking.

Can I order more than one design?

Yes. Add each to your cart separately and type the design number for each. Fragile plus this side up is the common pair.

Can I return it if I pick the wrong design number?

Each stamp is made to your chosen design number, so no returns for a change of mind. If the wrong design arrives or the stamp is faulty, we replace it.

How long will delivery take?

Dispatch is usually within 4 working days, with delivery across India after that.
