A duty stamp has a harder job than a brand label. It proves tax was paid. It has to survive the supply chain, resist a forger with money to make, and be counted one by one, because the stamps are worth money themselves.
That counting is what makes this work different. We check the run against the order, count and destroy the waste on record, and number every stamp in sequence. Our rules for spare stock and masters came out of this work. They are on the Quality & IP page.
We have made stamps for national tax authorities and for trade associations. They mix a visible hologram for inspectors in the field, a hidden feature for enforcement, and numbers for the books.

Questions
Before you ask for a quote
Do you work directly with revenue authorities?
We have made stamps for national authorities and trade bodies. This work usually runs through a tender or an appointed agent. Tell us which applies and we will answer in the form it needs.
How is production accounted for?
We check the run against the order, then count and destroy the setup waste on record and issue a certificate. For stamps that carry tax value, that is the part a tender looks at hardest.
Can stamps carry serial numbers for track and trace?
Yes, and for duty stamps we would push for it. Numbering every stamp and pairing it with a QR code lets you check each one against your own records.
Are you an accredited high-security printer?
We hold ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. We do not hold Intergraf or CWA 14641, which some banknote and passport tenders ask for. If your tender needs it, say so early and we will tell you where we stand.
