Company stamp maker for Finland

Finland has largely moved past company stamps, with strong electronic identification doing the work instead, though a stamp carrying the Y-tunnus is still useful for export paperwork and overseas counterparties.

Open the stamp maker

Finland is at the opposite end of the range from Poland. Electronic identification is mature and widely trusted, business is transacted with authenticated digital signatures, and a Finnish company can operate for years without ever needing a stamp. Where one is still wanted it is usually because somebody outside Finland asked.

What a company stamp in Finland usually carries

The company name as entered in the Trade Register.
The Y-tunnus, the business identity code, in the format 1234567-8.
The legal form, so Oy, Oyj, Ky or toiminimi.
The registered municipality, and the VAT number on export paperwork.

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

Export documentation and customs forms handled outside Finland routinely expect a stamp Finnish practice does not use.
Counterparties in Asia, the Gulf and Africa ask for one as a matter of course.
A stamp is occasionally wanted on paper forms from bodies that have not digitised.

Questions

Do Finnish companies use stamps?

Much less than most countries. Finland relies on strong electronic identification and authenticated digital signatures, so the stamp has no role in domestic execution. It appears mainly on export paperwork and in dealings abroad.

What is a Y-tunnus and does it go on the stamp?

The business identity code issued when the company is registered, written as seven digits, a hyphen and a check digit. It is the identifier a counterparty verifies, so it is the thing worth putting on.

Why would I need one at all?

Almost always because somebody outside Finland asked. Customs documents, letters of credit and contracts with counterparties in stamp-using jurisdictions are the usual reasons.

Template, or something I actually build?

It is a finland company stamp maker rather than a finland company stamp template you download and then fight with in a word processor. Build a finland company stamp online from a finland company stamp sample, or start empty and use it as a finland company stamp generator: every part of the finland company stamp design stays adjustable. The finland company stamp price covers the file only, $1.50 for a transparent finland company stamp png or $3.00 for every format.

What people call it in Finland

rubber stamp Finland: What people mean when they want the object rather than the file. You can still start here: the SVG download is exactly what a die-cutter in Finland wants, and it costs nothing to try the layout first.
company stamp Finland: The everyday identity mark: registered name, registration number, and whatever else practice in Finland expects on a commercial document.
company seal Finland: The round, formal mark used on certificates and instruments. Practice in Finland is set out above; the short version is that it is expected more often than it is required.
stamp maker Finland: Searched by people who want it made now. Nothing is installed and no account is needed to start, which matters more in Finland than a shop's opening hours do.
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 Finland are now sent as files, and this is the version anybody actually sees.
round stamp: Reads as a seal rather than as a label, which is why it is the shape most organisations in Finland choose for an identity mark.
rectangular stamp: The shape that fits beside a signature without covering anything, and the one most under-used in Finland.
stamp templates: Two hundred and twenty-five designs, all editable. Pick the one closest to what is expected in Finland and change the text.
free stamp maker: Free to design, free to preview at full quality with nothing over it. Only the download is charged, once, with no plan attached.
putting a stamp on a PDF: The mark is written into the page content rather than dropped on as an annotation, so the next person to open the file cannot drag it off.

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.
