Which production techniques do you use?

• Laser Engraving: A Stamp is engraved with a laser engraving machine. A slice of rubber, with the same thickness everywhere, is placed in the engraving machine, where the stamp is cut. The process is digitally controlled. As soon as the plunger plate comes out of the laser, it is washed and then it goes into the assembly process. All rubber plates are mounted on the right models of stamps and shipped.
