Aloha! Introducing, direct to you from Hawaii: Rubber Stamp Plantation! Although you may be noticing this Honolulu Company for the first time, Rubber Stamp Plantation has been delighting Hawaii residents and visitors alike with their dynamic stamp designs for over 13 years.

This Hawaii manufacturer specializes in Hawaiian, Polynesian and Asian designs, but doesn’t stop there, by any means. Rubber Stamp Plantation’s collection of over 300 designs also includes everyday, Spanish language, Native American designs, and more. Deb Zeleznik, owner of Rubber Stamp Plantation, manages to combine her artistic abilities and sound design sense with her zany sense of humor when adding new designs to the stamp line. Rubber Stamp Plantation’s Design Team Challenge made each of us wish for an island escape. Since that wasn’t quite possible, we’ve decided to bring the islands to you and share the aloha spirit. Whether you prefer traditional Hawaii, the sea, beautiful tropical flowers, or days of lazing in the sun, be sure to see what our designers have come up with to tempt you into making your own island escape—even if it’s only a virtual escape. Enjoy the beautiful classic plumeria…just thinking of it reminds me of the wonderful scent. Try on an aloha shirt in any of six designs. Snorkel with a school of fish. Don’t forget your hula lesson, and then enjoy your well-deserved shaved ice to cool you down! With this great selection of stamp images, all you need to add is lots of bright tropical color!



The quilt designs offered here are reminiscent of traditional Hawaiian quilts. Many are based on Hawaii’s beautiful tropical flowers.



Tropical scenery is also a part of the line, and includes palm trees, mountain and coastal scenery, and Diamond Head.



You can also take a side trip to Asia with a few Asian designs. One of the best things about the Chinese characters in this assortment is that the English translation is included in the image.

Just when you think you’ve seen all that Rubber Stamp Plantation has to offer, I’ll warn you that there’s much more. They offer over 20 styles of acid-free stickers that coordinate with their stamp images. Their temporary tattoos are a great party activity for children and adults. Tattoo designs range from traditional Polynesian to contemporary designs. The decals are popular for autos, surfboards, boats, sliding glass doors…

The newest product line offered by Rubber Stamp Plantation is the Paradise Plate Lei, license plate frames with island themes. Being a rubber stamp company, they have license plate frames designed specifically for the rubber stamper and scrapbook enthusiast. Don’t you feel the need for a license plate frame that says, “I’d rather be stamping” or “I’d rather be scrappin”?
