ink pads
Rubber stamp partners
Ink pads are flat cushions saturated with ink, used for inking rubber stamps.
The pad holds ink evenly across its surface so a stamp pressed against it picks up a uniform coating: She pressed the date stamp onto the ink pad, then onto the document.
Ink pads come in various colors and ink types—some for paper, others for fabric or other surfaces.
