What is the difference between a flex (or floppy) and a rigid?
The rigid mat is double the thickness and has handles. You use the rigid mat to imprint the majority of the stamping job. The floppy has no handles and is about half the thickness of a rigid which allows you to bend the mat at a 90 degree angle. The floppy mat can be used to stamp around the edges of the stamping area, walls, stairs and hard to get at areas.
