The vulcanized custom rubber stamps are those traditional stamps that are manufactured through the vulcanization process that up to present is still one of the most effective means of producing stamps.  This involves making of the mould design before casting the rubber into these moulds with the use of a master plate that would cause the impression on the mould. The rubber is just placed on the mould and then the mould is placed in the stamp press. Then a hydraulic pressure is placed that causes the rubber to melt and when melted and afterwards hardened and then it is pulled out.  Another kind is the laser engraved custom rubber stamps which requires a specific curing of the rubber first to give it an even thickness and smooth surface appropriate for making the impression.  The engraving depth would have to depend on the speed of the laser and the density of the rubber.  The computer system controls the laser and with the use of software such as CorelDraw, the laser starts to make the images.
