How to make a company stamp (Hong Kong)

In Hong Kong, company stamps are not strictly required by law, but virtually every bank, contract and government document expects a company common seal or address stamp. The workflow below works for most new limited and sole-proprietor / partnership businesses.

Step 1 — decide which stamps you need

  • One round company seal — required for contracts, bank forms and company filings.
  • One rectangle / address stamp — for invoices, receipts and everyday correspondence.
  • (Optional) oval stamp — if you need department or branch variants.
  • (Optional) name chop / square stamp — for director sign-offs and internal approvals.

Step 2 — gather your company info

  • Full English company name — copy exactly from the Certificate of Incorporation.
  • Chinese name (if applicable) — must match the Companies Registry record.
  • BR number — optional on the address stamp.
  • Office address — for the address stamp.

Step 3 — design the preview with STAMP4U

  1. Open the matching generator:Circle /Rectangle /Oval /Square.
  2. Enter both English and Chinese company names, and try a few fonts (Arial, 標楷體, 圓體, 新細明體).
  3. Adjust font size, letter spacing, rotation and offset until each line is balanced inside the frame.
  4. Pick the preset colour (black / blue / purple / red) that matches the ink you'll actually use.
  5. When you're happy, download the SVG (vector, scales to any size without quality loss) and the PNG (handy for email). Hand the SVG to your stamp maker as the artwork.

Step 4 — send to the stamp maker

Email or WhatsApp the SVG (or paste the raw SVG source) and specify:

  • Stamp type (self-inking / rubber / brass die).
  • Physical size (see stamp specs).
  • Ink colour.
  • Deadline.

Step 5 — verify the finished stamp

  • Ink 3 test impressions on white paper — check line clarity and colour consistency.
  • Proof-read every English letter and Chinese character, especially the "Limited" / 「有限公司」 suffix.
  • Confirm the physical size matches your bank's requirement (most banks keep a stamp sample on file).
