What does "officially licensed" mean?

All the stamps you see on this web have been "officially licensed" by the manufacturer, which means they have obtained permission from each institution.  As part of the licensing agreement, the institution receives a royalty fee based on the sale.  So each purchase you make will benefit the school or organization you choose!

55 characters including spaces.  If your text goes over this limit, the stamp will still be made; however, the manufacturer does not take responsibility for the outcome of the text on orders over the limit.  The more characters and spaces you have, the smaller and more squished the text will become. 

Black ink comes standard in the stamp and should last between 8,000 - 10,000 impressions.  Each color cartridge has a shelf life of about 6 months to a year.  Ink cartridges are very easy to use, child-safe and are completely contained (so no mess).

Only the institutions shown are available at this time.  However, the manufacturer accepts requests for new institutions.  While they do not guarantee your school will be licensed, you can check back periodically for updates.  Note that new licenses can take up to 6 months to process.  Please contact us at colleges@varsitystamps.com and we will forward your request.

Not necessarily.  Some people have a really great eye for this kind of stuff, others do not.  It certainly doesn't hurt to have one around, but if you're good at it, you won't need it.
