Carve your own rubber stamp: what works and what does not 3 September 2026: Hand carving is the oldest route to a stamp and the best one for a motif. It is also the worst one for text, and the reason is not skill.
Certified true copy stamps: the wording that has to be there 3 September 2026: A certified true copy stamp is not decoration. It is a statement somebody can be held to, and it needs four things on it to mean anything.
Church and charity seals: the mark on a certificate nobody reissues 3 September 2026: A church seal ends up on documents people keep for sixty years and come back for. That changes what belongs on it.

Company chops: what they are and who controls them 29 August 2026: A company chop is not a Chinese word for stamp. It is closer to the company signature: whoever holds it can commit the company, which is the part people new to it underestimate.
Company seals in Ireland, and what the Companies Act says 30 August 2026: Unlike the UK, Ireland kept the common seal mandatory under section 43 of the Companies Act 2014. It is the embossing press, not the rubber stamp, and confusing the two is the expensive mistake.
Company seal Mauritius 29 August 2026: A Mauritian company is not obliged to hold a common seal for ordinary dealings, yet almost everyone asks for a stamp. What it should carry, and what each sector uses.
Company stamp samples: five worked layouts you can copy 4 September 2026: Most people asking for a company stamp sample want to see one written out. Here are five, by entity type, with the line that each one gets wrong.
Company stamps by country 14 August 2026: The same round mark carries wildly different weight depending on which city you registered the company in. Here is the map.
Con dấu công ty online: khắc gì, cỡ bao nhiêu 5 September 2026: Từ năm 2021 doanh nghiệp tự quyết định con dấu của mình và không phải thông báo mẫu dấu nữa. Nhưng ngân hàng và đối tác vẫn hỏi, nên đây là nội dung cần khắc.
Confidential and draft stamps: marks that change how a document is treated 3 September 2026: A DRAFT mark that can be missed is worse than none, and a CONFIDENTIAL one that obscures the text gets removed by the first person who needs to read it.
Construction and site stamps: the marks on a drawing set 3 September 2026: Reviewed, approved, approved as noted and rejected are four different positions, and using the wrong word on a drawing is how liability moves.

Gift stamps for packaging, favours and small batches 29 August 2026: Bought packaging is expensive and printed packaging has a minimum order of a thousand. A stamp turns plain kraft boxes into yours, one press at a time.
Logo stamps: putting your mark inside the ring 29 August 2026: Most logos were drawn to work at the top of a website. At 38mm across, in one colour, half of what makes them work disappears.
Date stamps explained, and how to make one that is right 29 August 2026: A date stamp turns a mark into a record. It is also the only office stamp with a moving part, which is exactly why so many of them print the wrong day.
How to create a digital logo stamp online, step by step 4 September 2026: Most logo stamps fail before the design starts, in the file somebody uploaded. Get the file right and the rest takes three minutes.
Digital signature, electronic seal and a stamp: three different things 4 September 2026: People use these three words for one thing. They are three different things, only one of which we make, and knowing which you have been asked for saves a rejected filing.
Lawyer digital stamps 21 August 2026: A law practice does not need one stamp, it needs six or seven. Here is what each one is for, why numbering each impression to a matter closes a real billing leak, and how to apply one from a phone without going back to the office.

Estamplab is a design tool. These articles describe common commercial practice rather than giving legal, medical, tax or financial advice, and practice changes. What a notarial, professional or medical mark must carry is set by the authority that issued the commission, registration or licence, so check the requirement with them.
