About Hero Arts
Hero Arts is a family-run stamp manufacturer and certified green business in Richmond, California that has made premium photopolymer stamps and dies at its solar-powered facility since 1974.
Richmond's Stamp-Making Family
Hero Arts was founded in 1974 and has been family-owned in Richmond, California for fifty years. The company built its reputation as a premium manufacturer of rubber stamps, clear photopolymer stamps, and coordinating dies for the cardmaking and papercrafting community. Richmond, on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, is home to Hero Arts' solar-powered manufacturing facility.
As a certified green business and GREENGUARD certified manufacturer, Hero Arts operates with environmental standards that go beyond compliance — the solar-powered facility reduces its carbon footprint while producing the photopolymer stamps that craft artists prize for their clarity and fine detail reproduction.
Handcrafted American Stamps
Hero Arts makes clear photopolymer stamps from genuine non-toxic photopolymer processed at the Richmond facility. The clear stamps mount on acrylic blocks for precise placement, and Hero Arts' die-cutting dies are designed to coordinate with their stamp images — the stamps and dies work as matched systems rather than independently sourced components.
Hero Arts' commitment to domestic manufacturing in the craft supplies category is unusual — most stamp manufacturers have moved production to Asia. The Richmond facility maintains the American craft tradition of quality hand-made stamps that perform reliably and reproduce fine details that cheaper alternatives cannot match.
