Algae Stamp Ink is an innovative, bio-based ink made from algae cells—offering a cleaner alternative to petroleum-based inks. It’s compatible with most felt stamp pads and rubber stamps, so you can use it with the tools you already have.

Algae stamp ink is recommended for uncoated paper products. We find this ink dries slowly on glassine, so we do not recommend using it on this material. (Stay tuned, because we're working on a new formulation that’s suitable for poly surfaces!)

    Great black ink but takes a while to dry

    As someone trying to be 100% eco-friendly with their packaging, this was an excellent option for a stamp with my company logo. Although I know there is the option to have items pre-printed with a logo in algae ink, I opted for a stamp and made my own as I figured out what would work best (before having it pre-printed). My only issue is that the ink can take slightly longer to dry on the cardboard boxes. Other than that, it is dark, opaque, and black -- all I was looking for but in an eco-friendly option. Easy to clean, too! The last thing is that the bottle, once empty and rinsed, can be returned for use again. (directions are in the packaging).

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Algae Stamp Ink

What makes algae stamp ink different from petroleum-based inks?

While traditional inks are made of petroleum, algae-based inks are derived from algae cells and formulated with water- or plant-based carriers. This makes them safer for people and the planet.

Algae Stamp Ink

  • Made with a carbon-negative pigment, which helps reduce overall emissions
  • Uses water- or plant-based carriers, emitting fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
  • Crafted from biorenewable materials, making it soil-safe

Traditional Ink

  • Derived from non-renewable fossil fuels, contributing to resource depletion
  • Contains VOCs that contribute to air pollution and are harmful to human health
  • Typically not compostable due to petroleum-based components and metals
  • Utilizes carbon black, which can be hazardous to human health

Is the ink pad housing recyclable?

Yes. When you choose the “Algae Stamp Ink (With Stamp Pad)” option, you'll receive an Avery Carter's Stamp Pad. It's a re-inkable stamp pad, which can help you reduce waste over time.

Can I use it with traditional wooden stamp handles?

Yes, our Algae Stamp Ink works well with traditional rubber stamps, including those with wooden handles.

Is the Algae Stamp Ink available in other colors?

Right now, Algae Stamp Ink is only available in black. We’ll be sure to share updates as soon as new colors become available.
