From Stampin’ Up!, August 19, 2025:
We have some updates about cling stamps and Stampin’ Write Markers, as well as some exciting news about new coordinating packaging for stamps and dies.
Cling Stamps (Red Rubber Stamps)
We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to challenges in sourcing the necessary raw materials. While we currently have access to enough raw materials to continue production for the time being, the supply has become increasingly inconsistent, and certain key raw materials are no longer being manufactured. We’re choosing to make this change now to ensure a smoother, more strategic transition—with minimal disruption to our customers. We will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.
Stampin’ Write Markers
We have also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, we’ve seen a steady decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is coloring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we transition away from cling.
New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
As part of our transition away from cling stamps, we’re excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, we’re able to offer sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to our current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork as well.
Packaging Details
- New packaging measures 5-5/8″ x 9″ (14.3 x 22.9 cm).
- Stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easy to store bundles and coordinating products together.
