Our Hippo Blue Clothing Name Stamp is a marvel of design, created with your convenience in mind. However, like all superheroes, it too has its kryptonite. The stamp thrives on smooth, flat surfaces and may struggle a bit with knitted, woven, fluffy, or highly textured materials.
Why is this so, you may wonder? Well, these types of fabrics have inherent irregularities - little hills and valleys if you will. When you stamp, the ink wants to spread out evenly, but on a textured surface, it doesn't quite know where to go. This can result in an imprint that isn't as clean or sharp as we'd like it to be.
That's why we recommend using our name stamp on the flattest and smoothest part of your child's clothing. Think areas like the collar tag or the inside seam. This way, you're giving the ink the best chance to show off its superhero abilities and deliver a crisp, clear imprint that'll stand the test of time (and numerous laundry cycles!).
And here's a little pro tip: before you start stamping away, do a test run on an unseen area first. This will give you a good idea of how the stamp performs on different materials and help you find the 'sweet spot' for the best results.
So ready to make your mark? Go ahead, let those characters shine! And remember, we're always here to lend a helping hand should you need it. Happy stamping!
