Organization of document flow in modern organization- private or public, involves in many cases mandatory application seals and stamps. The need of enterprises for these products can be satisfied by a specialized company that produces seals and stamps. We will study the features of the organization of its work.

How popular are seals and stamps today?

Requires a moderate amount of investment, and at the same time is able to be quite profitable. This may be due to the high demand for the respective products.

Printing is an indispensable attribute of most official documents. Almost any contract signed by a company is certified by its seal. The same can be said, for example, about various types reporting generated by the organization. Seals and stamps in many companies are actively used in internal document management.

But how popular can seals and stamps remain, taking into account the fact that, firstly, the electronic document management, and secondly, is there less and less legislative prescriptions to use the press? In this case, it is legitimate to cite the following theses.

Regarding electronic document management, based on the practice of its implementation for many organizations, it is obvious that in many aspects it is still far from perfect. Of course, there are levels of legal relations at which the application electronic signature instead of printing, it is an equally reliable way to certify documents and, probably, more convenient than paper documents (for example, when it comes to tax reporting). But it also happens that the use of a fully electronic documentary base is difficult due to the lack of necessary legal regulations or specifications for this.

For example, it is still very difficult to conclude an electronic contract with the participation of individual. An EDS that a citizen can have, for example, created for the Gosuslugi portal, is not suitable in all cases as a tool for certifying documents. For example - those that relate to banking or reflecting the legal relationship of sale. Thus, if a company provides services mainly to individuals, then without printing it will be extremely difficult for it to carry out its activities.

The next significant segment where traditional seals can be in demand is legal relations with the participation of foreign citizens and organizations. The Russian EDS in most cases will not be legitimate abroad, just like a foreign one in Russia. This predetermines the need for Russian and foreign participants in legal relations to certify documents in other ways - primarily by printing.

Many state and municipal structures are rather slowly moving to electronic document management. This may also be related to the specifics of their work (for example, if it is necessary to fundamentally exclude the contact of certain information sources belonging to the institution with the Internet for security purposes). No matter how actively electronic document management develops, these organizations are highly likely to prefer using traditional seals.

In this way, production of seals and stamps as a business may have customers in several segments at once. Consider how this production can be organized.

Equipment and materials

First of all, with the purchase of equipment and materials. You will need to purchase:

1. Computer and printer - as the main working tool of the company (investments in them will amount to about 50,000 rubles).
2. An exposure camera (used in one of the most common printing technologies - photopolymer), which will cost about 15,000 rubles.
3. Cabinet for drying prints (10,000 rubles).
4. Consumables:

• film for fixing the image (3000 rubles for 100 sheets);
• photopolymer (about 2000 rubles per kg);
• border tape (700 rubles per 20 meters);
• protective film (3000 rubles per 100 meters);
• substrate (2000 rubles for 10 sheets);
• double-sided tape (about 200 rubles per 5 meters).

The specified list of materials is quite enough to start a business. In principle, the corresponding list, albeit rather inaccurately, reflects the monthly volume of expenses for the production of seals and stamps. But the specific dynamics of spending these materials is determined in practice, it is rather difficult to calculate it in advance. It all depends on specific type products manufactured by the company. Relevant products can be presented, for example:

• ordinary seals (on average, their production costs 900 rubles apiece in the market);
• logo stamps (1200 rubles);
• state seals(2400 rubles);
• stamps (about 500 rubles for a sample 40 by 25 mm in size);
• facsimile (600 rubles);
• bookplate (800 rubles).

Depending on the specific type of product, and also, which is very important - the completeness of a particular order, the amount of consumable materials may vary.

Based on very rough estimates, payback business for the production of seals and stamps can be achieved in about a month and a half, provided that the company produces about 3-4 ordinary seals or 1-2 state seals daily (this dynamics, in general, corresponds to production capabilities 1 workplace - which can be occupied by the entrepreneur himself).

After initial investment pay off, the owner of the production can expect about 30-40% of the operating profitability taking into account the possible costs of renting a room (about 20,000 rubles per month). If the entrepreneur has cheaper premises at his disposal, profitability can be increased.

Manufacturing process

So, it is profitable or not to start a business for the production of seals and stamps, we considered. Let us now consider its most important practical aspect - how the production of the corresponding types of goods is directly organized.

As we noted above, among the most popular technologies for the production of seals and stamps is photopolymer. It can also be attributed to the simplest, it is perfect for starting a business from scratch.

1. The first stage in the release of a seal or stamp is the creation of a layout in accordance with the wishes of the customer. For this, a computer is used. The finished image is transferred to the carrier film.
2. The next step is exposure. Within it, a polymer and a substrate are involved. After the resulting polymer cliché must be washed. The result of the work will be obtaining a print image. The intermediate product must be polymerized - for this, the exposure chamber is activated, then dried.
3. After the cliché is ready, it must be brought to the “presentation” with scissors and glued to the snap (double-sided tape is used for this). It is very important to test the print by making a sufficient number of test prints using the ink before handing over the finished product to the customer.

Each case is distinguished by its subtleties and nuances, the knowledge of which will help to make right choice and become the owner of a quality product.

Several useful tips prompt, What do you need to order a print? which will fully meet your requirements.

• Printing with automatic snap-in will help you save time with a large turnover of documents.
• Manual rigging is much cheaper, but not very convenient for frequent use, as it takes more time to complete.
• Stamps with metal or wood rigging will last longer.
• Stamps with plastic rigging are not designed for frequent use, as the plastic breaks frequently and this can cause the seal itself to fail. Therefore, for intensive work it is better to use seals with metal or wooden equipment. At the same time, the cost will be slightly higher, but durability and reliability will increase significantly.
• Stamps made using flash technology do not have ink pads.

In addition, you also need to know What do you need to print. And this is a whole package of documents, which includes: Certificate of State Registration. A copy of it should be left in the organization that will be engaged in the manufacture of seals and stamps. If the Certificate of Registration is missing, then the production of the seal is not possible.

There are also other nuances that must be taken into account. What do you need to order a print? If there is a need to make an additional seal, then you should write a letter of application for the manufacture of an additional seal of the company. The letter must be certified by management. At the same time, a copy of the Certificate of state registration. If you want to order a stamp that does not contain company details, then the Certificate can be omitted. The same applies to making facsimiles. If an enterprise strain is ordered, then in the application letter it is necessary to indicate all the details and certify it with the main seal. If the seal is ordered by a doctor, then you need to present a diploma of a specialist.

If you are interested in what you need to order a print urgently, then it is better to contact a specialized company and choose a photopolymer manufacturing method that allows you to get a finished print when you provide all the necessary documents within an hour.
