Traveler's Factory Order Name Stamp

In the last blog post, I talked about the Traveler's Factory. Whilst I was there, I picked up a kit for the 'Traveler's Factory Order Name Stamp' 

The kit comes in an kraft envelope, like the ones the TN notebook covers come in. Inside, you'll find an instruction sheet, a FAQ sheet, an order sheet and a prepaid return envelope.

There are 5 different designs you can choose from, names can only be written using the english alphabet (numbers and certain symbols included), both lower and uppercase letters can be used and character limits vary from design to design. 

Also, the stamps need a month to be made before they are sent and therefore, can only be mailed to a Japanese address. 

I sent the form off after a couple of days of mulling over what design to get and a month (and a bit) later, it arrived. The self inking stamp came in a small plastic sleeve and its small rectangular size made it very compact and portable. 

I chose the pen design, just because I thought I would feel fancy signing off letters and mail with this stamp. I use it to personalise stationery from time to time and it feels really great. 

My only complaint with it is that there's a sweet spot when pressing down on the stamp and thatt takes a few tries to get it, so definitely test it before you stamp the real thing.
