inkpads

Dye-soaked stamp surfaces

An inkpad is a small flat pad saturated with ink, used for applying ink to rubber stamps or for taking fingerprints.

The pad typically consists of absorbent fabric or foam housed in a shallow container, keeping the ink moist and evenly distributed.

Office workers, crafters, and law enforcement all rely on inkpads for their respective stamping needs.
