Rubber stamp
A hand stamp with a moulded rubber die, inked from a pad and pressed onto paper.
The die is cut once from the artwork supplied, which is why changing the wording means ordering a new stamp.
It is unbeatable on paper you are already holding, and useless on a document that only ever exists as a file.
