A Simple Way to Stamp Your Soap Consistently
If you are stamping multiple soap bars, getting the same position and pressure each time can make a big difference to the finished product. Our Soap Stamp & Jig is designed to make the stamping process easier, more consistent and repeatable.
The Jig holds your custom 3D printed soap stamp in position, helping you achieve consistent placement across your soap bars without having to measure and position the stamp by hand each time.
It is particularly useful for soap makers who sell their products and want their branding to look consistent from one bar to the next.
One Jig, Multiple Custom Stamps
The Jig is designed to work with our custom 3D printed stamps, which are mounted on handmade wooden handles.
If your custom stamps are made in the same standard size, one Jig can be used with multiple stamp designs as your range grows. This means you can start with one custom stamp and add additional designs over time without needing to replace the Jig.
The stamps are suitable for cold process soap, hot process soap and ceramic work.
Custom Soap Stamps Made to Order
Each stamp is made to order from your artwork.
For the best results, please provide:
Vector artwork
Illustrator or PDF files
High-resolution PNG or JPEG images where vector artwork is not available
Very small or low-quality images may need to be redrawn or adjusted before a stamp can be produced. Design work is available for an additional fee.
Text-only stamps also require artwork creation for the printing process.
Please email your font name, artwork or image to craftedsurprise@gmail.com.
Graphic design work is charged at $50 per hour, if required.
Important: Printed Artwork vs 3D Stamp Artwork
A design that looks great when printed on paper or displayed on a screen does not always translate directly into a 3D stamp.
A printed design is flat. Ink can reproduce very fine lines, shading, gradients and tiny details because they are simply printed onto the surface.
A 3D stamp is different. Your artwork has to become a physical, raised 3D design that can be manufactured and then pressed into your soap. Each part of the design needs enough definition, space and strength to create a clean impression.
Because of this, some details may need to be simplified or adjusted.
Designs that may need adjustment include:
Very fine or thin lines, such as delicate flower petals or leaves
Small lettering or closely spaced text
Shading, gradients or areas of different tones
Intricate illustrations with many small details
Tiny gaps between parts of a design
Fine details within objects, such as taps, handles, feet or decorative features
This does not mean we cannot make your stamp.
In many cases, we can adjust or simplify the artwork while keeping the overall look and character of your original design.
Our aim is to preserve as much of your artwork as possible while making sure the finished 3D stamp will produce a clear and usable impression in soap.
If we feel your artwork needs adjustment, we will explain what needs to change before we proceed with production.
Not sure whether your design will work? Send it to us first. We're happy to take a look and let you know what may be possible.
Stamp Sizes
Our custom soap stamps are available in three size ranges:
Small: 1 cm × 5 cm up to 4 cm × 5 cm
Medium: 5 cm × 5 cm up to 5 cm × 9 cm
Large: 6 cm × 5 cm up to 7 cm × 9 cm
If you are planning to use more than one stamp design with the Jig, keeping your stamp sizes consistent can allow the same Jig to be used across your range.
The level of detail that can be reproduced can also depend on the size of the stamp. A design with fine details may need to be larger to produce a clear impression.
3D Printed Stamp Face and Handmade Wooden Handle
Each custom soap stamp is made to order from your artwork.
The 3D printed stamp face is mounted to a handmade wooden handle, giving you a practical tool made with the care you would expect from a small Australian maker.
Tips for the Best Stamp Results
For the best results, place a sheet of cling wrap (food wrap) over the top of your soap before stamping.
The cling wrap helps keep the stamp clean while also producing a sharper, crisper impression in the soap.
Built for Repeated Use
The Jig is designed to become part of your regular soap-making setup.
Once you have established your preferred stamp position, you can use the Jig repeatedly to help maintain consistency across your products.
Replacement screws are included, and additional screw sets are available if required.
Cleaning Your Custom Soap Stamp
3D Printed stamp face:
Lightly spray with water and wipe with a cloth.
Wooden handle:
Clean with rubbing alcohol only. Keep the wooden handle dry and do not submerge it in water.
Made to Order
Custom stamps are made to order and require artwork review before production.
If your artwork needs adjustment or simplification, we will discuss this with you before production begins.
If you have a deadline, please let us know when you first contact us so we can advise whether your required timeframe can be accommodated.
For soap makers who are building a recognisable brand, the Soap Stamp & Jig gives you a practical way to make consistent stamping part of your finishing process.
