About this seal
ON HOLD marks something deliberately stopped — a disputed invoice, an order waiting on a credit check, a project paused by the client. Recording until when, or why, prevents held items from being released by someone who did not know the story.
Common uses
- Disputed invoices and payments
- Orders held for credit or stock
- Paused projects and work orders
- Shipments held for inspection
How to create it
- Open the template — the orange rectangular box stamp reading “ON HOLD” is pre-applied.
- Edit the fill-in lines under the word, or type the date, initials or reference before exporting.
- Change the colour if your office uses a different convention — orange is the usual choice for this stamp.
- Download a transparent PNG (or SVG with Pro).
- Place it on a PDF or Word file with the document stamp tools, or print it on labels.
Frequently asked questions
Should an ON HOLD stamp have a date?
An “Until” or review date helps, so held items are revisited instead of forgotten.
Can I use it in a PDF workflow?
Yes — download a transparent PNG and place it on the first page with the PDF stamp tool.
Legal & usage
An office stamp is a status marking, not a signature, certification or official classification. Use it on documents you are entitled to annotate, and do not use it to misrepresent a document's status to others.
