Date only stamps

DATE ONLY STAMPS

Date-only stamps, also called daters, print just the date. They come in sizes small enough for spaces less than half an inch tall. Use them to mark:

• Incoming and outgoing mail

• Sales receipts and invoices

• Bills and other important documents

• Homework and reports

• Egg cartons and food packaging that need a sell-by or use-by date

Dial-a-Phrase
Dial-a-phrase models include an extra rotating band of common office words, such as PAID, that prints next to the date.

Date Format
Most date stamps can be set to the format that fits your needs:

• JAN 01 2026 (month, day, year): US standard

• 01 JAN 2026 (day, month, year): European standard

• 2026 JAN 01 (year, month, day): ISO 8601 international standard

How It Works
Self-inking models have a built-in ink pad in your choice of 8 water-based ink colors. Just press down for a clean, crisp impression, and the stamp flips back up to re-ink itself after every use. When the color starts to fade, add a few drops of refill ink or swap in a replacement pad. Shiny line daters are traditional hand stamps used with a separate stamp pad.
