Like the history of stamps themselves, Shachihata has a rich and wonderful background. Shachihata is a third generation family-owned company which started in 1925 as ink chemists and stamp pad manufacturers. The Xstamper was born in 1964 while doing research and development on a more durable rubber, resulting in the development of cellular rubber for the first and most durable pre-inked stamps ever made. Later, we also pioneered and developed laser manufacturing for faster and better print quality.

What started out as a small stamp pad business more than 90 plus years ago has blossomed into a multi-million dollar a year operation that includes more than nine facilities and nearly 2,000 employees worldwide. We're proud that our quality products are available in several major languages and in over 80 countries.
