The Profitability of Producing Stamps
Thinking about adding stamps to your offerings? The potential profit margin may be enough to convince you.
The profit margin provided by sales of hand stamps or self-inking stamps should cause any awards and engraving retailer to consider the addition of the product. Regardless of the method used to make the stamp, the material cost of a hand stamp is seldom more than $1. The retail price for a three-line name and address stamp ranges from $8 to $12 depending on the local market. Self-inking stamps cost $5 to $7 in materials and retail from $16 to $25. Offering wholesale stamp services with a 35 or 40% discount to area printers and office supply dealers can quickly increase the volume of stamps sold. While the margin per stamp sold is smaller, overall profitability will be higher.
