CUSTOM BUSINESS STAMP: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE?

A delivery note to approve, an invoice to sign off: a stamp is still faster than a signature written out by hand. Companies, property holding companies (SCI), tradespeople, shopkeepers, the liberal professions, they all have one. Before ordering yours, five points are worth checking.

1. Choose between a self-inking and a wooden stamp

A self-inking stamp holds its own ink supply, with no separate ink pad. At the office or at the counter, it is the most practical. A wooden stamp is used with a separate ink pad: it suits occasional use and large formats.

2. List the details to include

A company stamp usually shows the company name, legal form, address and SIRET number. Depending on your needs, add your intra-community VAT number, phone number or e-mail address. To avoid mistakes, copy these details from your Kbis extract or your SIRENE registration notice rather than from memory.

3. Match the size to the amount of text

Three or four lines fit in a small pocket format. Add the SIRET and VAT numbers and you need a larger size, otherwise the digits become unreadable. Bring your text to one of our shops: we will advise you on the right size before production.

4. Choose the ink colour

Blue or black, most of the time. Blue has a practical advantage: on a photocopy it comes out black, so the original stands out at a glance. Red is mostly used for status stamps such as « paid » or « copy ».

5. Plan for refills

The imprint fades over time. On a self-inking stamp there is no need to buy a new one: the ink cartridge can be replaced. Keep the model reference, you will need it to order the right refill.
