Rubber Stamp Singapore: Company Chops, Self-Inking Stamps, and How to Order

The rubber stamp has survived every wave of digital transformation for one simple reason: it is faster, more tactile, and more legally recognised in Singapore than a typed annotation or a digital signature on most everyday documents. For business owners who stamp invoices, delivery orders, official letters, and company documents dozens of times a day, a well-made stamp is a daily essential — not a novelty.

Types of rubber stamps available in Singapore

The two main types are traditional rubber stamps (requiring a separate ink pad) and self-inking stamps (with a built-in ink reservoir that re-inks automatically between impressions). For occasional use — stamping the odd letter or parcel — a traditional rubber stamp with a quality ink pad is adequate and lower cost. For high-volume daily stamping, a self-inking stamp is far more practical: it produces cleaner, more consistent impressions and eliminates the need to handle a separate ink pad.

Common business uses in Singapore

• Company chop: The standard business stamp showing company name, UEN number, and address — used on invoices, delivery orders, and official correspondence.
• “Received” and “Paid” stamps: Date stamps for accounts departments processing high volumes of documents and invoices.
• Address stamps: For businesses that send physical mail regularly, an address stamp is faster than printed labels for lower volumes.
• Signature stamps: Used by authorised signatories who need to countersign large batches of documents consistently.
• Custom message stamps: “Confidential”, “Original”, “Copy”, “Approved” — useful for document control in legal, finance, and HR departments.

Ink colours for company stamps in Singapore

Standard ink colours available for rubber stamps in Singapore are red, blue, and black. Red is the most common for company chops and “received” stamps — it stands out clearly against printed text. Blue is used where contrast with red document markings is needed. Black is preferred for address stamps and correspondence use. Custom ink colours are available on request for specific brand requirements.

Replacement ink and longevity

Self-inking stamps typically produce 10,000 to 50,000 impressions before the ink pad needs replacing, depending on the stamp size and ink density. Replacement ink pads are available from your stamp supplier and cost a fraction of a new stamp. When ordering your rubber stamp, confirm that replacement pads are available for the specific model — some cheaper models use proprietary pads that are difficult to source.
