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.
Metal Stamps

Build-Your-Own Metal Type Stamps
Choose only the characters you need to make your message from 0-9, A-Z, period, forward slash (/), dash, and blank spaces. To create your message, place characters in the holder and then tighten with the included hex key. The spring pin locks them in place for proper alignment. For holder to work properly, you must fill unused spaces with blanks. These stamps make marks on surfaces with a Rockwell hardness up to C28, including leather, wood, and most metals.
Characters (sold separately) come individually or as sets. If ordering replacement or additional characters, make sure the character height and notch-to-end length match that of characters you already have.
Rubber Stamps with Changeable Snap-Together Message
Snap characters together to create your message. Characters can be combined to read horizontally or vertically and on as many lines as you need.
