Stamping course for bankers

I think bank employees are given courses on proper stamping. I believe banking schools and bank training centers provide a practical course on stamping.

Bank tellers and employees more often than not stamp documents in front of them -- checks, bank forms, vouchers, bills. They place receipt stamps, date stamps, notice stamps, and form stamps on backs or fronts of documents they process.

The course teaches the proper tension an employee must have in his/her muscles to correctly press a stamper on a piece of paper. It emphasizes the angle of the forearm in relation to the stamper and the paper that will be stamped on, the amount of energy used to press the stamp and have an even impression on the paper and the amount of ink place on the ink pad to avoid blotting.

It also discusses the number of dabs on the ink pad to have enough ink on the stamper for pressing on various numbers of papers.

There are several ways of stamping multiple papers. There is the one soft dab, one stamp per paper technique and then there is the two hard dabs, one hard stamp each on three to four papers technique.

There might be more we do not know of and will discover soon.

This is why while in a bank making an over-the-counter deposit or withdrawal or cashing a check, the sounds you hear of stampers hitting wooden tables as tellers and employees go about their work are similar. The sounds, intensity of stamping, and the impact of stampers on paper are almost always the same everywhere you go.
