About Character Height
When you look at the face of a stamp, you'll notice the character is raised. The distance between the upper and lower raised ridges is known as the character height. This height is used to measure stamp size. If a stamp does not have a size marking on the shank, measure the character height to order the correct size.
The actual impression a stamp makes is larger than its character height and varies depending upon how hard you strike the stamp, the hardness of the material, and wear.
Gentle-Mark Metal Stamps
The rounded faces on these stamps put less stress on surfaces and minimize fractures that can weaken or damage metal. Make marks on surfaces with a Rockwell hardness up to C30, including leather, wood, and most metals.
Choose from 0-9, A-Z, and &.

Extra-Gentle-Mark Metal Stamps for Hard Materials
Make marks on surfaces with a Rockwell hardness up to C50, including stainless steel and heat-treated steel. The dotted, rounded faces on these stamps put the least amount of stress on surfaces when compared to other steel stamps, minimizing fractures that can weaken or damage metal.
Choose from 0-9, A-Z, and &.
