Frequently Asked Questions

A stamp uses ink to leave a visible impression on paper — used for signatures, approvals, dates and everyday documentation. A company seal is an embossing device: it creates a raised, ink-free impression, typically used to authenticate a company's most important documents. At MALLAMIBRO, we manufacture both, and we never use the two terms interchangeably.

No. A rubber stamp is an ink-based tool for routine documentation — signing, dating, approving. A company seal is an embossing tool with no ink at all, used specifically for official corporate authentication on high-stakes documents.

Under CAMA 2020, companies are not strictly required to use a common seal on every document, but many banks, legal practitioners and regulatory bodies in Nigeria still expect one on contracts, board resolutions, share certificates and similar formal documents. Most serious Nigerian businesses keep one on hand for exactly these situations.

Contracts, deeds, share certificates, board resolutions, loan agreements and other high-value corporate documents are typically sealed. Day-to-day paperwork like invoices, receipts and internal memos is usually just stamped.

Some routine bank transactions accept a stamp, but many banks specifically request an embossed company seal for account opening, board resolutions and high-value transactions. Check with your specific bank before assuming a stamp alone will be accepted.

Your company's exact registered name and RC number, exactly as they appear on your CAC certificate, engraved in a raised, embossed design.

Typically your company name, address, phone number and email — sometimes with your RC number included, depending on your preference.

Yes, though we'd recommend including at least your phone number or address — a stamp with contact details is far more useful on real business documents.

Because they serve different purposes. The stamp handles everyday business documentation quickly; the seal is reserved for the handful of high-stakes documents that need that extra layer of formal authentication. Most established Nigerian companies keep both.

If you're just starting out, a self-inking stamp covers your everyday needs (invoices, letters, approvals) at a lower cost. Add a company seal once you start handling contracts, dealing with banks on major transactions, or need the extra formality for legal and regulatory purposes.

We produce self-inking stamps, traditional wooden-handle rubber stamps, and adjustable dater stamps — covering everyday signing, approval and date-recording needs for offices, schools and businesses across Nigeria.

A stamp with a built-in ink pad that automatically re-inks the die every time you use it — no separate ink pad required. Ours use flash-ink technology for thousands of crisp, consistent impressions.

It depends on usage frequency, but our flash-ink stamps are built for thousands of impressions before the ink noticeably fades.

It can be re-inked. You don't need to replace the whole stamp — just top up or replace the ink pad.

Yes, ink refills are available for our self-inking stamps.

Black, blue, red, green and purple are our common options. Let us know your preference when ordering.

A self-inking stamp has a built-in, automatically-re-inking pad — no separate ink pad needed. A wooden-handle stamp is the traditional style, pressed onto a separate ink pad each time. Wooden-handle stamps tend to be more affordable; self-inking stamps are more convenient for high-frequency daily use.

Wooden-handle stamps remain a solid, affordable, classic choice — especially for schools, personal use, or lower-frequency office needs. Self-inking stamps cost more but save time on high-volume daily use. Both are laser-engraved for sharp, consistent detail on our end.

For daily receiving, filing and record-keeping — stamping the current date onto incoming mail, receipts, approvals and internal documents. Ours are heavy-duty with smooth-rolling adjustable date bands built for daily office use.

Yes — our adjustable dater stamps let you roll the date bands to any date you need, not just the current day.

Yes, we can produce a stamp version of your signature from a clear sample. Do note that acceptance of signature stamps varies by institution and by the nature of the transaction — always confirm with the specific recipient organisation before relying on one for a critical document.

Yes, round, square and rectangular formats are all available, depending on the stamp type and your preference.

Yes, we can incorporate Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or other languages into your stamp design where needed.

Yes, sequential numbering stamps are available — useful for receipts, tickets or any document requiring sequential tracking.

In many cases, yes — only the casing needs replacing rather than remaking the entire stamp. Bring or send us the stamp so we can assess it.

Often the rubber die itself can be re-cut or remade to restore a crisp impression, rather than needing an entirely new stamp order from scratch.

A precision device that presses a raised (or indented) impression into paper without any ink — leaving a tactile, tamper-evident mark that's difficult to forge or photocopy convincingly.

Authenticating high-value corporate documents — contracts, agreements, deeds, board resolutions, share certificates — where a simple ink stamp isn't considered formal enough by the receiving institution.

Yes — we manufacture your seal with your exact registered company name and RC number as they appear on your CAC certificate, so a copy of that certificate (or the relevant CAC printout) is usually all we need.

Yes — corporate seals are commonly required around incorporation, notarization and official document authentication, which is exactly what ours are engineered for.

In most cases yes, though very long names may require a slightly larger seal or adjusted font sizing to remain legible. Our design team will advise you during the proofing stage if this applies to your order.

Yes, many legal professionals and the organisations they represent use both seals and official stamps as part of standard corporate documentation practice.

Yes, where legally permitted for your specific professional context. Notary and certification seals have particular legal requirements depending on your role, so please confirm your exact wording/format requirements with us before ordering.

A well-made embossing seal is built to last — you generally only need to replace it if your company details change (e.g. after a name change or RC re-registration) or if the mechanism wears out from very heavy use.

You'll need a new seal reflecting the updated details — the old seal would no longer accurately represent your company's current legal registration, and using it could cause complications with banks or regulators.

Yes — cooperative societies, NGOs and similar registered associations commonly need an official seal for the same reasons as companies: authenticating constitutions, bye-laws, board resolutions and formal agreements.

Yes — if you have a specific layout preference (e.g. how you'd like the company name and RC number arranged), share it with us and our design team will incorporate it into your digital proof.

Requirements vary by bank and account type — some request an embossed seal as part of your company documentation, others don't. It's worth checking with your specific bank in advance so you're not caught off guard during account opening.

A seal leaves a raised, textured impression you can feel with your fingers and no ink colour at all — a rubber stamp leaves a flat, coloured ink mark with no texture. That physical, tactile difference is part of what makes an embossed seal harder to casually replicate.

Not really — because embossed impressions rely on texture and depth rather than ink colour, they typically don't reproduce convincingly on a standard photocopy, which is part of why they're used for higher-security authentication.

'Common seal' is simply the traditional legal term for a company's official corporate seal. Functionally, it's the same embossing device we manufacture for corporate authentication purposes.

Yes — mosques, churches and other registered religious or community organisations frequently order custom seals and plaques for their official documentation and recognitions.

A high-resolution image file of your official stamp or seal mark, designed for placement on electronic documents — invoices, contracts, letters and correspondence sent digitally.

Yes — we design it to closely match your physical stamp or seal's appearance, so your digital and physical documentation stay visually consistent.

Transparent PNG (ideal for inserting into Word documents), JPEG, and PDF — covering the most common formats needed for digital invoicing, contracts and correspondence.

Yes — our PNG format is delivered with a transparent background, so it sits cleanly on top of any document without a white box around it.

A digital stamp improves the professional appearance of your electronic documents, but like any image file, it can technically be copied. We recommend pairing it with sound document-security practices (controlled file access, PDF password protection, etc.) rather than relying on the image alone for legal security.

Our Digital Stamps & Electronic Seals service starts from ₦5,000 — our most affordable product, ideal for businesses that primarily handle documentation electronically.

Yes, send us a clear photo or scan of your existing stamp impression and we can recreate a matching digital version.

No — you can order a digital-only version even if you don't own (or don't yet need) the physical equivalent.

For Word documents, insert the transparent PNG like any image, position it where needed, and save. For PDFs, most PDF editors let you insert an image stamp directly onto the page. If you're unsure, our team can walk you through it.

Yes, that's one of its most common uses — giving invoices, contracts and correspondence sent by email a consistent, professional, officially-branded appearance.

Legal recognition of digital stamps varies depending on the type of document and the receiving institution's requirements. For most routine business correspondence it's fine; for high-stakes legal or regulatory documents, confirm with the specific recipient whether a physical stamp/seal is still required.

Yes, let us know your requirements at the time of order and we can prepare multiple versions to suit different use cases.

Wood, acrylic, metal and more — used for award plaques, signage, name badges and personalized promotional products, with clean, permanent detail.

Yes, share your reference design or inspiration and our team will work with you to create a similar or improved version tailored to your specifications.

Yes — because the design is physically engraved rather than printed on the surface, it resists fading, scratching and wear far better than a printed-only plaque over time.

Large-format exterior signage is part of our broader printing and branding capability — reach out with your specific size and location requirements so we can confirm feasibility.

Reach out to us directly at ceo@mallamibro.com.ng or via the phone/WhatsApp number listed on our Contact page — the sooner you reach out on a delivery issue, the better, given our 24-hour notification window.
