How to put multiple stamps on mail
The art of stamping multiple pieces of mail! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to put multiple stamps on mail:
Method 1: Using a Stamp Applicator
- Gather your supplies: Stamps, a stamp applicator (also known as a stamp press or a stamp roller), and the mail you want to send.
- Position the stamp: Place the stamp on the stamp applicator, making sure it's centered and aligned properly.
- Apply the stamp: Press the stamp onto the mail, applying gentle to moderate pressure. Make sure the stamp is fully seated and not skewed.
- Repeat the process: Continue applying stamps to each piece of mail, repositioning the stamp applicator as needed.
- Check your work: Double-check that each stamp is properly applied and centered.
Method 2: Using a Stamp Roller
- Gather your supplies: Stamps, a stamp roller, and the mail you want to send.
- Position the stamp: Place the stamp on the stamp roller, making sure it's centered and aligned properly.
- Roll the stamp: Roll the stamp roller over the mail, applying gentle to moderate pressure. Make sure the stamp is fully seated and not skewed.
- Repeat the process: Continue rolling the stamp onto each piece of mail, repositioning the stamp roller as needed.
- Check your work: Double-check that each stamp is properly applied and centered.
Tips and Variations
- Use a stamp pad: If you're using a stamp roller, you can also use a stamp pad to apply the stamp. Simply dab the stamp pad onto the mail and then roll the stamp onto the mail.
- Use a stamp applicator with a built-in stamp pad: Some stamp applicators come with a built-in stamp pad, which can make the process even easier.
- Use a stamp with a built-in adhesive: Some stamps have a built-in adhesive that can be applied to the mail without the need for a stamp applicator or roller.
- Use a stamp with a reusable adhesive: Some stamps have a reusable adhesive that can be reapplied multiple times, making it easier to apply multiple stamps to a single piece of mail.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overlapping stamps: Make sure to apply each stamp separately and not overlap them, as this can cause the stamps to become distorted or damaged.
- Applying stamps too close together: Leave a small gap between each stamp to ensure they don't become stuck together.
- Not applying enough pressure: Make sure to apply gentle to moderate pressure when applying the stamp to ensure it adheres properly to the mail.
By following these steps and tips, you should be able to successfully apply multiple stamps to your mail. Happy stamping!
