Customizing Stamp Appearance

Start with a template whose wording suits your matter. The available text fields depend on that design. See choosing a template.

Set exhibit labels

1. Open the Stamp tab.
2. Choose Letters, Numbers, Filenames, or Same label.
3. For letters or numbers, enter the First exhibit label. For Same label, enter the Exhibit Label to use throughout the set.
4. Add Prefix (Optional) only if you need text before the label, such as PX-. Read the full sample to avoid repeating wording already in the design.

Check the labels beside every document before preparing the set. Reordering documents can change automatic labels.

Change color and border

Open Customize appearance & blank stickers in the Stamp tab. Use Stamp Color and Border shape to choose the appearance. Fit border to stamp content removes unused space without changing the text size.

Create Blank Sticker removes the exhibit number or letter. Leave it off when you need a visible exhibit label.

Change size and case details

• In Layout, adjust Stamp Size. Reset size restores the template’s compact size while keeping your text and position.
• Fill in any fields shown for the chosen template, such as deponent name or date.
• In Settings, expand Case Information for Case Caption, Case Number, and Subtitle.

Check which details actually appear in your selected design. Do not assume every template prints every available field.

Reuse firm appearance settings

Below the main settings, expand Reuse firm appearance settings. Enter a settings name, choose Prepare settings file, then Download settings file. This file contains stamp color and size, border sizing, and contents typography. It does not contain case information, exhibit labels, Bates counters, document positions or source documents.

To reuse it, choose Open a firm settings file, review the displayed values, and select Apply to this matter. Your current template and contents mode remain selected. Check the new preview before preparing the packet. These preferences are not court requirements or an authenticated firm approval.

If the file is rejected, ask the preparer to export a fresh settings file. A portable project uses a different format and belongs in the main document upload area. Changing your appearance settings does not update a settings file you previously downloaded; prepare a new one when needed.

Check the result

Choose Check placement and read the complete stamp on your document. Check that the wording is correct, the text is readable, and the border does not cover important content. Then prepare and inspect the finished files before downloading.

If text looks crowded, try a larger size or a design with suitable fields. If the label disappeared, check Create Blank Sticker and the selected stamp pages. See stamp size or stamp visibility help.

Changing settings does not alter a file you already downloaded. Prepare and review a revised copy. To keep settings with a finished version for later work, see saving projects. If you cannot get the expected result, use the issue-report option below without including confidential case details.
