A Hong Kong company stamp (also called a company chop) is used on contracts, invoices, and official documents. The most common format is a round stamp of 38mm diameter bearing the company name. Most stamp companies offer same-day or express self-inking stamp services, with collection in as little as 1 hour.
Why Does Every Business Need an Official Company Stamp?
When I first registered my company, I assumed a digital signature would be enough. But the moment I went to open a business bank account and sign a lease, every institution asked for a company chop. That experience taught me how essential a proper stamp is — it is not just a formality, it is the mark of a credible business.
