Storing rubber stamps in a hot climate

Jul 22, 2005 2 Replies

We're moving some rubber stamps (mostly Stampin' Up, a few other brands) out of a house that's being sold, and the relative who has inherited the stamps is concerned about where we plan to store them.



The weather here is currently around 110-115F (43-46C) and the house is cooled by an evaporative cooler. The next couple of weeks the humidity will be fairly high (the "monsoon season"), so the cooler will have little effect and it will probably be about that temperature inside the house.



This relative thinks the stamps will be as good as garbage if stored in this heat. Surely they use much higher temperatures to manufacture the stamps?



What do people who live in similar climates -- say, Phoenix -- do to protect their stamps from the heat?



Thanks, Lee


Lee: Since many of the stamps are Stampin' Up, I would contact the company and ask! I aked my upline (I'm a demonstrator) and she has no answer for you. The company website is

There is phone number and e-mail contact info there for the company. Good luck. Kate Hass

While I wouldn't store them in direct sunlight, your stamps should be fine in the heat. Not so sure about the humidity though. I live in CA, so it doesn't get as hot or humid here, so I don't know how they would fare there.
