Our Latest COVID-19 Efforts

by xstamperusa

During the coronavirus pandemic, we at Shachihata / Xstamper wanted to find a way to contribute to society’s needs. We examined our facilities and determined that our ink manufacturing process could be re-purposed to produce hand sanitizer. We are excited about being able offer you a hospital-strength hand sanitizer, in a WHO-recommended formula that works on surfaces, as well as hands.

We have also introduced some brand new COVID-19 related stamps and signage. These products are designed to aid the healthcare industry, offices, restaurants, and those of us who have been staying indoors and maintaining social distancing. We are also listening to the needs of our customers and will consider adding products that the market demands.

We are always in search of finding new ways to help meet the needs of our customers and community, whether it is staying safe with hand sanitizer, celebrating a social distancing graduation or birthday with a sign for all to see, or stamps and informational signs for use in the health care field. We anticipate that these products will assist you during this unprecedented time and we hope that everyone remains safe and well.

To all those out there helping us get through these difficult times…

As we are all painfully aware, the COVID-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on all aspects of our lives and for how long remains uncertain.

Due to the recent restrictions imposed in California, some of our Torrance office employees are working remotely. Our New Jersey factory remains open and our manufacturing and shipping timetables are unchanged. We have had to reschedule some employee hours due to a curfew imposed by the state of New Jersey, but we are functioning at full capacity.

Many others do not have the luxury of being able to work from home or adjust their shifts. These are the front line people who go to work each and every day to provide the population with what is needed. From the police, firemen, EMTs, and National Guard, who come to our aid and ask nothing in return. These first responders are always deserving of our gratitude, and today even more so. To the thousands who work in the medical field, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, technicians, emergency room workers and so many others, thank you for caring for us in our time of need.

But let’s not forget the truck drivers and delivery people who get goods and supplies to where they are needed. The grocery store employees, who face uncertainty and risk to provide us with the necessities we must have. And the restaurants who have stayed open for take-out and delivery, so that we can have some sense of normalcy in our lives. These folks are working tirelessly for long hours, day after day, putting others before themselves.

These are the true heroes of today and we owe them our gratitude and deepest respect. The next time you have the opportunity, let them how much you appreciate what they are doing. It may not change much in the overall scheme of things, but to one tired person who is giving all they have it just might make a difference. They deserve something back from us, even if it’s just knowing that we acknowledge the sacrifices that they are making for us all.

so from all of us… Thank you!

2019 Holiday Party

by xstamperusa

On Friday, December 20th, we had our annual holiday party at Madre’s Restaurant in Torrance, California.

  • Bob & Rach
  • Rae & Debs
  • Henry & Kenny
  • Princess & Tia
  • Rose & Josh
  • All of us…
  • The Entire Shachihata CA Crew!
Great food. Great fun!

The food was amazing!

Tamal de Rajas: so good, one was not enough!

There was more fun to be had. We played a question and answer game about company history. Debs won first prize, Rae was second, and Rose was third. There was even a live mariachi band and some of us jumped on the dance floor.

It was a great evening. We’re all looking forward to an awesome 2020 year!

VersaDater® by Xstamper

by xstamperusa

The Xstamper® VersaDater is the most unique date stamp available. This two-in-1 stamp quickly transforms from message dater to line dater and back again.

The Impression Frame™ is available in custom and the most popular stock messages. And, the line dater is offered in standard and European style dates.

Why clutter your desk with two date stamps, when the VersaDater will do the job of both?

Summer BBQ

by xstamperusa

On Friday, July 27th, we revived a old tradition.  We brought back our annual summer barbecue!  We shut down for 2 hours at 12:30pm PST and everyone went out to the warehouse.  We opened the dock door and started the party.

But the preparation began earlier in the week.  Here’s Rachel cleaning the chairs.  Open your eyes!

Then we had an impromptu Cornhole contest.  Kenny was the champion, but we’re all certain he cheated!

And finally after all the fun, we had to end the festivities and begin cleanup.  Well sorta…

Kenny is still celebrating his victory. Rae’s not so interested.
Terry and Rachel. Are they cleaning or playing around?

A big thanks to everyone who made it happen and participated.

We all had so much fun that we’ve decided to have another BBQ next month.  See you soon…

St. Paul Stamp Works Visit

by xstamperusa

On June 20th, St. Paul Stamp Works came to visit our CA headquarters.  Marty picked up Jerry and Teresa at the airport, then we all went out to dinner at Restoration in Torrance.  We had a lovely dinner, drank some wine and sampled the local beers.  It was a great opportunity for our team to get to know their team.

Restoration

The following day, June 21st, we had a very productive meeting.  We discussed the issues facing our company and theirs, found common ground and committed to continue to work with each other going forward.

Rachel and Charles are working hard:

We discussed new products:

And even had a little fun:

Meeting 3

After the meeting, we all went out to dinner at Depot (also in Torrance).  We had a great meal.  Avoided seafood because Teresa is wildly allergic.  And otherwise had an amazing time.

Thanks to St. Paul for coming out.  We know how difficult it is to take time away, but we’re glad we had this opportunity.
