You have just registered your company and the to-do list is long. A company stamp is a small item on it, but getting it right first time saves reprints later. Work through this checklist — each step links to a detailed guide.

Before you design

  1. Decide whether you need one. A company stamp is not legally required in Singapore, but most businesses use one for invoices and paperwork. Read is a company stamp mandatory.
  2. Know the difference from a common seal. They are not the same thing — see company stamp vs common seal.
  3. Gather your details. Your registered name exactly as on your ACRA business profile, and your UEN. See what to put on a company stamp.

Design it

  1. Pick a layout. Text only, with a logo, or a ready-made template — browse the templates or read adding a logo.
  2. Choose a size. 22mm suits most companies; longer names need more room. See the sizes guide.
  3. Choose an ink colour. Blue and black are the most common for business use — see the ink colours guide.
  4. Design and preview. Build it in the free generator, or upload your own design if you already have artwork.

Order and use it

  1. Download the digital stamp. Use the transparent PNG on invoices and PDFs — see where to use your company stamp.
  2. Order the physical stamp. Choose your size, quantity, delivery and payment method — the ordering guide walks you through it.
  3. Save your files. Keep the PNG and print-ready PDFs from your order email so you can reorder the same stamp later — see what you receive.
  4. Set simple rules. Decide who keeps the stamp, which documents it goes on, and who may use the digital version.

How long does it take?

Designing takes a few minutes. Delivery depends on the speed you choose at checkout, and your digital PNG is available as soon as the order is confirmed. If you need the stamp quickly — for a bank appointment, for example — read rush delivery and company stamps and bank accounts.

Two shortcuts help: you can design entirely on your phone, and share the design for approval with your fellow directors before ordering. For a more formal look, consider a double ring.
