One thing that Hong Kongers love, is their chops. I don't mean meaty eaty chops, but the self…read moreinking stamps that they bash on to every and any bit of paperwork to hand. If there is empty white space on a page, "chop" it!
However, I have found getting these chops a bit tricky - maybe it's just me? For ages, it seemed to me to only be the back alley dudes in the wooden shacks that do them, like the chop trade was something much more illicit. However, I am completely wrong, as I have now found a number of print shops that do them - hurrah!
Special mention must be made of Print Shop. They kinda do exactly what the shop name suggests; they print stuff, like business cards, post cards, invitation, photocopying, you get the idea. They also make chops, offering a variety of different sizes and ink colours.
What is good about their chop making service, other than the chops coming our really well, is that they can make them from a jpeg file. A lot of the other print shops can print from jpegs (despite really only wanting AI files), but most can only make chops from AI (Adobe Illustrator) files. Many of us don't have access to these pro softwares, so being able to give them a consumer format was very useful.
The shop has recently moved to a bigger premises (unfortunately they moved all their junk with them too, so it is a bit like a self storage locker in the shop), which is not as convenient as their old location under Wan Chai MTR bridge, but still close enough.
They do have an extensive website, but it is only in Chinese - boooo.
