What is the Stamp Marche Number Stamp Set Classic?
It is a set of ten digit stamps for dating a planner by hand. Stamp Marche is a Japanese shop of original planner stamps run by Sanseido Co., Ltd. in Kochi. Its Classic set (code b-500) has one stamp for each digit 0 to 9, in a flowing script the maker compares to the numbers in an antique Western book. The maker says it adds a slightly special feel to a planner or notebook. We read its Japanese product page and translated it on November 5, 2026.
What are the specs?
Each block is about 10 × 10 × 18 mm and prints a 5 × 3 mm number.
| Spec | Detail (maker) |
|---|---|
| Stamps | 10 (digits 0 to 9) |
| Block size | about 10 × 10 mm, 18 mm tall |
| Imprint | about 5 mm tall × 3 mm wide |
| Style | Classic, flowing script |
| Price | 2,200 yen incl. tax |
The maker says the stamp-face color can vary with the production period and that this does not affect quality. It does not state the block or rubber material, so our drawing shows blocks in the wood tone of the maker’s photo and leaves the digits out.
What can the small size do?
It fits where a larger stamp cannot. The maker says the 5 × 3 mm imprint is small enough to stamp on labeler seals and handy for writing dates in undated planners and refills. Our guide to Stamp Marche’s five-star rating labeler seals shows a 12 × 21.6 mm label that a number imprint fits within with room to spare. For more stamps, see our best stamps for journals and planners roundup.
How many stamps do you need for a date?
One block per digit, used again where a digit repeats. A date up to 31 takes two digits, so the 2 and the 7 stamp 27, and 11 means pressing the 1 block twice. Because the set has one stamp of each digit, you ink the block each time. Dates in a month grid are two presses; a full year such as 2027 needs four.
The shop also sells weekday sets of 7 stamps at 2,200 yen and month sets of 12 stamps at 3,300 yen in three designs each, so a date stamped from numbers, weekdays and months can match one maker’s style.
How do the maker’s sets compare on price per stamp?
Of three kinds, number sets cost least per stamp. The shop sells numbers at 2,200 yen for ten stamps, months at 3,300 yen for twelve and weekdays at 2,200 yen for seven.
Who is the Number Stamp Set Classic for?
It suits people who date an undated planner by hand, because the 5 × 3 mm imprint is small enough for a narrow column.
- Journaling and planning: the maker names undated planners, refills and labeler seals.
Skip it if you want a bold date for a large planner: the imprint is only 5 mm tall, and thicker number sets are sold separately.
What does it cost, and where is it made?
It sits in our $$ band ($5 to $20). On November 5, 2026 the maker listed the set at 2,200 yen (about US$13.90), tax included. Domestic mail shipping is a flat 250 yen. From abroad the shop uses WorldShopping, which adds a 10% fee on the product price plus Japanese shipping and then bills international shipping separately. The stamps are made by hand to order in Kochi, Japan, and ship in 7 to 10 business days. The set has no ink pad.
