Shopping for a custom stamp and trying to decide between Pickled Stamps and Simply Stamps? You are not alone — it is one of the most common comparisons we see. We are going to give you an honest, straight breakdown of both so you can make the right choice for your needs.
Product Range
Pickled Stamps specializes in personalized stamps for individuals, book lovers, teachers, small businesses and notary professionals. Our range includes over 2,500 designs across self-inking stamps, wood handle stamps and embossers. We are particularly known for our book embossers and library book stamps.
Simply Stamps offers a broader commercial range including rubber stamps, date stamps and business stamps, with a focus on office and commercial applications.
Customization
Both services offer custom text personalization. Pickled Stamps has a wider range of pre-designed artistic templates — particularly for book stamps, embossers and decorative personal stamps. If you want a beautifully designed book embosser or a custom library stamp, Pickled Stamps has hundreds more design options.
Turnaround Time
Pickled Stamps dispatches orders within 1 to 2 business days from our US facility. We do not offer proofs as standard because our design process is accurate — but proofs are available on request (note this adds time to your order).
Quality
Pickled Stamps uses precision-cut rubber dies and high-quality self-inking mechanisms. Our stamps are rated for 10,000+ impressions per ink fill. With over 100,000 five-star reviews and more than 2 million stamps sold, quality is something we stake our reputation on.
Price
Pickled Stamps is competitively priced — most custom self-inking stamps start from around $19.95 and embossers from $29.95. We regularly run promotions and our prices include the personalization — there are no hidden customization fees.
Customer Service
We pride ourselves on responsive, human customer service. If there is an issue with your order, we fix it — no questions asked. With 100K+ five-star reviews on multiple platforms, our track record speaks for itself.
The Verdict
For personalized book stamps, library embossers, decorative address stamps and teacher stamps, Pickled Stamps is the clear choice — wider design range, faster turnaround and a specialist focus on exactly these products. For heavy commercial or industrial stamping applications, Simply Stamps may offer more in that specific space.
