Warranty and Reputation Count

In addition to inspecting for quality, check the stamp supplier's tool warranties, replacement policies, and reputation before you give them your business. When cared for properly, a top-quality stamping tool should provide many reuses and years of performance in the field. Some companies stand behind the durability of their products by offering lifetime warranties. Others will replace at no cost tools that tear or have obvious defects.

"Most companies offer a limited warranty, but a good company will replace a defective tool at any time, no questions asked. To me, that makes all the difference," says Branum.
