Company chop maker for China

In China the company chop is the primary mark of corporate authority and a contract bearing it can bind the company even without a signature, but a chop for official use must be carved by a licensed engraver and registered with the Public Security Bureau.

Open the stamp maker

China is the one jurisdiction where the seal outranks the signature. A document carrying the company chop binds the company, which makes custody of the chop a governance question rather than a stationery one: whoever holds it can commit the business. Companies typically hold several, each with a different job.

What a company stamp in China usually carries

The registered Chinese company name in full, curved around the ring.
A red five-pointed star in the centre, which is the conventional form.
The Unified Social Credit Code on chops that carry a number.
Companies usually run several: the company chop, the finance chop, the legal representative chop, the contract chop and the fapiao chop.

Open the stamp maker with any of these

Every preview on this page carries a faint Estamplab watermark. Your own download does not: the editor renders your stamp again, clean, as a transparent PNG, an SVG or a PDF. See the full template library.

Why make it digitally

For letterheads, drafts, internal documents and presentations, where the mark identifies the company rather than executing anything.
For an English-language rendering of the mark to accompany translated documents.
For designing and reviewing the layout before commissioning a registered engraver.

Questions

Can I use a chop made here as my official company chop in China?

No, and this is the important limitation. An official chop must be produced by an engraver licensed by the Public Security Bureau and registered with it, and only a registered chop carries legal authority. What this tool makes is an image: usable on letterheads, drafts and presentations, not a substitute for a registered chop.

Why does a chop matter more than a signature in China?

Because Chinese company law treats the chop as the expression of corporate will. A contract stamped with the company chop can bind the company whether or not anybody signed it, which is why the person holding it effectively holds the authority to commit the business.

How many chops does a company need?

Commonly five: the company chop for general use, the finance chop for banking, the legal representative chop, the contract chop, and the fapiao chop for invoices. They are deliberately separated so no one person controls everything.

What people call it in China

rubber stamp China: The physical die, cut from rubber by a shop. Design the artwork here, download the SVG, and take that to any stamp maker in China: a vector file gives a sharper die than the photograph most people walk in with.
company stamp China: The workhorse. In China it carries the registered name and number and goes on most outgoing paperwork.
company chop China: In China the chop is the company's signature in a way a western stamp is not, which is why the design and its custody both matter.
company seal China: Reads as more formal than a stamp and is used where a document is being executed rather than merely marked. Common on certificates issued in China.
stamp maker China: The online version of walking into a stamp shop, minus the lead time. Works the same from a phone, which is how a lot of people in China will reach it.
digital stamp: The file rather than the object: a transparent PNG that sits on a PDF as ink. Most documents that need a stamp in China are now sent as files, and this is the version anybody actually sees.
round stamp: Conventionally 38mm to 40mm across. Enough for a ring of text and two or three lines inside it, which is what most marks in China need.
rectangular stamp: Use it where the information matters more than the ceremony: addresses, received marks, endorsements, anything with a field to fill in.
stamp templates: Sorted by what the mark is for rather than by how it looks, so the set for a company in China is a few clicks rather than a scroll through everything.
free stamp maker: You can build the whole thing, look at it at actual size and change your mind as often as you like before paying anything. Priced in USD wherever you are in China.
putting a stamp on a PDF: Skips the print, stamp and scan loop entirely. The PDF is processed in your browser, so the document never leaves your machine.

This describes common commercial practice rather than giving legal advice, and practice changes. Where a specific document matters, check the requirement with the body receiving it. Only produce a mark your own organisation is entitled to use.
