Custom Pottery Stamps

POTTERY STAMPS

Add a logo or custom design to your pottery for commissions, businesses, and special events.

Each stamp is laser engraved into durable cast acrylic for precise, crisp detail, then finished with a slick release coating that helps it lift cleanly from your clay. Use it to mark plates, cups, mugs, bowls, and more before firing or baking. The impression depth is about 3.5 mm (just over 1/8 inch) for a bold, clear mark.

The clear acrylic lets you see through the stamp to place the design exactly where you want it. A post handle and rubber grip band make the stamp easy to hold and control, even with wet hands.

Sizes and Shapes
Choose a round, square, or rectangle stamp up to 3 inches across. We can cut the acrylic to your chosen size or trim it to fit your design. We can also enlarge your design to fill the stamp, or keep it at the exact size you choose.

Design Tips for the Best Impression

• Use outlined letters and shapes instead of solid fills for large text and logos. Solid areas push aside a lot of clay and can leave a poor impression.

• Clay holds finer detail than soap, but very small text and thin lines can still melt during engraving or break off when stamping.

• Use single-line borders. Double borders can trap clay between them and pull out chunks.

• Avoid inverted designs, such as light text on a dark background. Clay has trouble filling them and can tear when the stamp lifts.

• Send black-and-white line art. Color, grayscale, and shading are converted to solid black and may not turn out the way you expect.

• No need to reverse your art. We take care of that.

Artwork Files
Upload your artwork right in the designer. Image files such as JPG, PNG, and WebP show a preview on your stamp. PDF, AI, and EPS files upload with your order but won’t appear in the preview, and we’ll still use them to make your stamp. If you upload one of these files, please convert all text to outlines first. Please don’t upload Word documents, since they can’t be used to make your stamp. For the best results, upload the clearest art you have.
