A pocket stamp, comprised of a container in which a stamp is provided and a lid mounted pivotably on the container. In the closed position the lid covers the stamp face and in the open position serves as a handle. The container comprises a shell shaped lower part (20) and the lid comprises a shell shaped upper part (10) of a flat container. The lower part (20) and upper part (10) are pivotably connected with each other via a hinge element (28, 18). This simple design makes possible the provision of a container with less than 3 mm thickness, so that a pocket stamp of this type can easily be mailed in a conventional envelope or be slipped by the user into his pocketbook or briefcase. Besides this, the upper and lower parts, in particular when they are connected to each other via a film hinge or living hinge, can be manufactured in one piece by injection molding, whereby the manufacturing costs can be substantially reduced.
