What Are Date Stamps?
Date stamps use ink to mark important business documents with the appropriate status and date. They can indicate when a document or file was received, paid, billed, charged, cancelled, delivered, faxed, checked, entered or shipped as well as provide the exact time when it happened.
Date stamps are easy to transport in briefcases or messenger bags. Additionally they are very inexpensive, easy to work with and can provide long term use and versatility.
Where Can Date Stampers Be Used?
Use date stampers anywhere there’s a desk or other writing surface to stamp dates onto documentation needing to be tracked or marked.
For example, they’re commonly used in schools where teachers stamp homework and reports. Restaurants often use them for marking produce with sell-by dates. Warehouse employees find them useful for marking orders. Date stampers are also invaluable in home and workplace offices where users handle sales receipts, invoices, bills and other time-sensitive documents.
What Can Date Stamps Be Used for?
Date stamps often feature three adjustable wheels for users to actuate when changing the date. Each controls the month, day or year. Simply rotate the wheels until the date matches their needs. You can easily change the date by hand for quick and convenient use.
These customizable self-inking stamps allow you to streamline operations with one crisp impression after another. Various types of businesses use date stampers for document tracking, time validation, completing forms and marking incoming and outgoing mail. They also show when paperwork is processed and recorded.
What Are the Benefits of Date Stampers?
Date stampers are great for increasing efficiency and improving organization. Many of them include several years’ worth of dates and last for thousands of uses. One advantage is their convenient customizability for various business types. If users know they will be using a particular stamp message, like marking a pile of paperwork as “faxed” or “paid” for example, they can set their stamp settings to their needs and not worry about switching back and forth between messages. Due to their size they are usually kept inside of office desks or office cabinets.
