Not all clear stamps are created equal. Close To My Heart (CTMH) stamp sets reflect the production expertise, the variety of design, and materials that guarantee a superior stamp set that will deliver consistently beautiful, lasting artwork. The clear, decorative stamps are easy to use and store, offering complete creative control and artistic precision on all your projects. The following three areas explain the technical aspects as to why our CTMH My Acrylix® stamps are simply the best choice for clear polymer stamps available in the marketplace.
Our Process: Close To My Heart began producing clear polymer stamps in 2003, one of the first to offer clear stamps on the market. We use state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment. Our team is expert in polymer work, and they know how to handle the materials through production, carefully controlling temperature, moisture, production speed, and the many other variables that affect quality. Our process also allows us to produce very finely detailed stamp designs that many manufacturer's cannot duplicate. Base-and-shape stamps, distressed designs, lace-style artwork, and even tiny script-fonts, to name a few, retain incredible clarity and details you won't find in most other clear stamps on the market. The depth and cut of the stamp grab the ink well, but minimize blurring and "fill-in." Such a labor-intensive process ensures our high quality standards.
Our Material: While clear polymer is available from a variety of sources, there are many levels of durability, flexibility, and quality that may be initially indistinguishable to the human eye. As the leader in clear stamps, CTMH has continued to refine our materials and improve their performance and aesthetics, using the top grade of polymer produced today. We have put the polymer through rigorous testing including aging and environmental tests to ensure that the stamps you buy, with proper care, will last for years to come. Our stamps can be easily stretched, arched, or angled for a variety of different "looks" in artwork, whereas many other companies' products are stiff and rigid, with strong smell, too sticky or not sticky enough, and yellow easily within a few weeks of purchase.
Our Design: With hundreds of "active" stamp sets at any time, CTMH has offered more then 4,000 individual designs in My Acrylix® clear stamps over the years. Many of these designs were created to complement each other, so customers can build a library of sets that coordinate in themes and sentiments. Our packaging is also unique to the market--not only does the flexible envelope protect the stamp inside, it allows for convenient storage, organization, and retrieval. Our unique carrier sheets include all designs already cut (many manufacturers require the purchaser to cut out the stamps), and make it easy to view the positive desig
