How to make Received stamp
- Open the stamp maker and pick the Received template, or type your own wording.
- Size it, colour it, pick a border, and put the logo, date or serial exactly where you want them.
- Export the image for documents, or the whole set if you also need it in print or in Word.
How to put a received stamp on a PDF
In Bluebeam, Markup then Image places the received stamp, and the result behaves like any other markup until you flatten it. Flattening matters on anything going to a client or a reviewer: before it, the stamp is an object anybody can select and drag off the page.
What size should a received stamp be?
Text is the limit, not the shape. Every line you add to a received stamp makes the rest smaller, and letters below roughly 6pt at true size stop surviving a scan or a fax. Three to five lines is the practical ceiling on a 40 mm mark.
What a received stamp does not prove
The organisation receiving the document decides whether a received stamp is acceptable, and practice varies more than people expect. For invoices, internal approvals and routine correspondence an image is widely accepted. For deeds, filings and anything going to a court or a registry, confirm before you rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Is the received stamp free?
Designing is free and unlimited. Downloading the received stamp is $1.50 for a single image, or $3.00 for every format at once. One payment either way, with no subscription attached.
Can I add a date to the received stamp?
Yes. A date, a time, or both, positioned wherever they fit the received stamp. An empty date field means "whenever this is used", so the impression records the real day.
What format do I get?
A transparent PNG for dropping onto documents, plus a white-background PNG and a JPG. The $3.00 pack adds an SVG, a print-ready PDF and a Word file that keeps the date and serial as text you can retype.
Do I get a template or something I can edit?
Neither a static received stamp template nor a stock image: a received stamp generator you drive, and a received stamp maker in the sense that matters, which is that nothing is fixed. Choose a received stamp sample layout, rework the received stamp design, build the received stamp online and download when it looks right. The received stamp price is $1.50 for a single received stamp png or $3.00 for every format zipped.
