Ex Libris: Paper Boat

Ex Libris ‘Paper Boat’ stamp.

A paper boat It is a toy boat made entirely of paper. It is, perhaps, the most common form of aerogami, a branch of origami (the Japanese art of paper folding). Its popularity is mainly due to the fact that it is one of the easiest origami models to make, whether for a beginner or an expert. The most basic paper boat requires just six steps to be completed «correctly». The term «paper boat» now also refers to those made from corrugated cardboard. The paper boat has sails that propel it forward.

Ex libris It is a Latin phrase which literally means ‘from the books of’, that is to say, a book taken from the collection of a public or private library. The ‘Ex Libris’ paper boat is a mark of ownership that is usually placed on the inside front or back cover of a book. It bears the name of the owner of the copy or of the library to which it belongs.

The design is laser-engraved onto high-quality rubber, which ensures high-definition detail on our stamp. The relief of approximately 1 mm guarantees clean and clear impressions. We do not use the transparent polymer resins commonly employed by other manufacturers for this purpose.
