I've had a google but I'd quite like to go somewhere with a personal reccomendation as I haven't a clue what the process is. I'm after sometihg to stamp my bags with. I use those chinese takeaway type bags made out of recyceld paper but I'd like my logo on there somewhere. I can't afford a dedicated print job so I thought a rubber stamp about 2 inches square (minimum) with the sheep logo and website address might work.

Any thoughts?

Try it out with a potato first, I think a nice design would look good.

Why would Stacey want to put her logo on potatoes?

My logo's a bit 'curly' to be faffing around with a craft knife and a spud I want someone else to do it. I could probably do it on a linocut as I make printing blocks for stuff every now and then but I want to buy a proper rubber stamp!

Not a personal recommendation, I'm afraid, but...

Bing!

Loks easy and costs bugger all, so...personally, I'd recommend it might be worth taking a punt.

I've tried them but it seems you can only upload logo or text and I can't work out how to save text as a jpeg from a Publisher file

One easy way is to create the image on your screen (use POwerpoint to make a full screen image), then hit print screen, which is to the right of F12. Then paste the clipboard into something like Irfanview, and save it as a .jpg.

I have just seen a free rubber stamp produced by www.vistaprint.co.uk It is totally self contained with an integral ink pad. It looks as though they will do all sorts of designs, but are happy to offer a free one as an introduction to their service. You only have to pay the postage for the freebie.
