A stamp pad holder for use in a self-inking hand stamp. The stamp pad holder
has
a stamp die box that holds a stamp forming material, ink cartridge and plastic
within the die box. The stamp forming material is placed at the bottom of the die
box. A pre-inked ink cartridge is placed above the stamp forming material but separated
by an impermeable film. The film prohibits ink from flowing from the ink cartridge
to the stamp forming material until the film is pulled from the die box prior to
use. This permits the ink from the ink cartridge to impregnate the stamp forming
material. The die box is then inserted into the hand stamp. A method of manufacturing
the die box is also disclosed.
