A delivery note to approve, an invoice to sign off: a stamp is still faster than a signature written out by hand. Companies, property holding companies (SCI), tradespeople, shopkeepers, the liberal professions, they all have one. Before ordering yours, five points are worth checking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A self-inking stamp<\/strong> holds its own ink supply, with no separate ink pad. At the office or at the counter, it is the most practical. A wooden stamp<\/strong> is used with a separate ink pad: it suits occasional use and large formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A company stamp usually shows the company name<\/strong>, legal form, address and SIRET number<\/strong>. Depending on your needs, add your intra-community VAT number, phone number or e-mail address. To avoid mistakes, copy these details from your Kbis extract or your SIRENE registration notice rather than from memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Three or four lines fit in a small pocket format. Add the SIRET and VAT numbers and you need a larger size, otherwise the digits become unreadable. Bring your text to one of our shops: we will advise you on the right size<\/strong> before production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blue<\/strong> or black<\/strong>, most of the time. Blue has a practical advantage: on a photocopy it comes out black, so the original stands out at a glance. Red is mostly used for status stamps such as \u00ab\u00a0paid\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0copy\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. List the details to include<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
