From a small garage business to a major worldwide distributor
Clearsnap loves colour! It all began in a garage in 1986 where Clearsnap developed the Rollagraph roller stamp system, beginning a legacy of innovation that continues today. With the ColorBox line of inkpads, Clearsnap introduced many features common on today’s inkpads, such as the raised inking surface which allows the use of any size inkpad with any size stamp. They created Cat’s Eye inkpads that brought high quality inks to the market at an affordable price & Petal Point and Paintbox inkpads offering removable plates or petals in a multi-color palette.
Clearsnap uses only the finest quality materials in their products, developing a new inkpad, applicator or embellishment, is a process filled with endless testing & refinement before it is introduced to the world. Clearsnap invite some of the best, most experienced and demanding artists to test and only products that survive make it into our catalogue and onto our web site.
