A basic dater stamp with all necessary features, die plate daters are practical tools included in the 'toolkits' of many offices. The Trodat 4000-D Die Plate Dater includes three bands that show the month, day and year, with the year band reaching forward 12 years. Most often, die plate daters are used for keeping track of bank deposit slips, cheques or copies of cheques, invoices and other similar monetary records. Above and below the date are small text areas where it's possible to add a customized message. This message could be anything from a company name and address, to indication phrases such as PAYMENT RECEIVED, PAYMENT COMPLETED, or PAYMENT SENT.

Besides the function of this stamp, but the design of the stamp body is also practical. With a round, soft cap handle, sturdy metal frame, doubled locked for ideal alignment, the Trodat 3350 Die Plate Dater is a basic yet sleek tool for dating all types of paperwork.
