Company Stamps: Tips to Consider When Buying Embossed Stamps

Company stamps are small devices used by companies, in which documents are placed to be stamped. The word “stamp” also refers to the impression made with an individual design on a material such as paper, which shows or certifies that it comes from a person / company that claims to have issued it. In other words, the document is certified by the company / issuer. This print can include features such as the company name, logo, official address, and other texts, where required.

Company stamps are also commonly known as raised stamps, corporate stamps, embossed stamps, embossed stamps, and much more. What they all do is create a visible footprint. You can even feel the imprint when you run your hands over the material you’ve recorded. That’s how different they are from regular ink stamps.

Are company stamps necessary?

In some countries like Uganda, company stamps are required. But in other countries, they are optional. However, most companies choose to use them in legal documents for authentication purposes.

Companies use company stamps on documents such as agreements, minutes of board of directors meetings, employment contracts, loan documents, bank account opening, membership certificates, and other legal documents or company commitments.

Corporations adopt company seals and change them according to their need and with the approval of company directors. These stamps are kept in safe places to prevent them from falling into the hands of the wrong people, which can have legal repercussions and loss of money.

Who uses the company stamps?

Corporations use them to engrave documents with their name and logo. Professionals such as lawyers and notaries use them to seal documents that have been signed with your name. Anyone can use a company stamp.

Recently, in Uganda, there are a growing number of schools that record student test reports. They do this primarily to prevent forgeries by students.

What should you consider important when buying company stamps?

♦ Shape

Company stamps vary in design. The most common design that people use for stamps is round. But there are square and rectangular designs. It all depends on what you prefer according to your taste.

♦ Font type

It is important to select a font style that prints clearly on paper. It should be a style that does not cut the paper due to the sharpness of the characters.

♦ The price

Company stamps are expensive. But prices vary depending on the brand of the device and the size. Prices also vary depending on where you buy it. Bail! You have to be careful not to make mistakes just because the price is low.

♦ The size

There are small and large company stamps. For example, under the Shiny brand, there are pocket stamps, desk stamps, and heavy duty stamps.

When using pocket stamps, hold the paper in one hand and the stamp in the other to make an impression on the paper. They are practical and portable. They usually come with a plastic box that makes them convenient to store and compact to transport. They are good for companies without a lot of stamping work.

Desktop stamps are relatively larger than pocket stamps. To record a document, place it on the desktop. They are good for companies with a lot of stamping work.

Heavy duty seals are the largest. These, like stationery stamps, you place on a desk to engrave a document. They are more durable than all other sizes and are good for too much stamping work.

♦ Security

Since people typically use company stamps on legal documents, agreements, and contracts, you should take precautionary measures to avoid falling into legal issues that can lead to loss of money. This is very important.

What should you do then?

Make your stamp with a recognized stamp maker. This is an established business that cares about its reputation. It is a business that will never reproduce your seal without your approval. It’s a business that will design you with features that are difficult for others to replicate.

But most people make this big mistake. In Uganda, there are street kids who grab customers and say they are cutting stamps. They get jobs from you, they run to the stamp maker who cuts it off. They come back to you with a finished product. When you pay them, they receive a commission. Where will you find such a person again? In case of something, it is not responsible.

♦ Quality

Good company stamps are those that produce clear impressions. It depends on several factors. First, it depends on the quality of the cut, which depends on the equipment used for cutting. Good cutting machines are computerized laser engravers.

Second, the quality depends on the material used to cut the die. I have seen stamps with dies cut from acrylic. This material is for other purposes, such as cutting labels. The best material for making sealing dies is Delrin. But one can easily give him acrylic cut dies. You will use these dies for one year. Thereafter, they stop producing good impressions.

Third, the quality depends on the design. It is the professionals who produce good designs. It is not just cutting. You are cutting to make a stamp that will remain the same from time to time.

Also, quality depends on durability and stiffness. Steel reinforced seals in construction are durable.

Conclution

If you are planning to make a stamp for your business, get a stamp maker that will give you your money’s worth. Generally, company stamps are expensive all over the world. You should spend money on quality products. Also, safety is essential!
