A seal is to show that an instrument was executed in a formal manner. At early common law sealing legal documents was of great legal significance. A promise under seal was binding by virtue of the seal. Today under most statutes any stamp, wafer, mark, scroll, or impression made, adopted, and affixed, is adequate. The printed word "seal", or "l.s.", is sufficient. 2, record 1, English, - seal

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Au début de la période du droit coutumier, l'apposition du sceau sur les actes revêtait une grande importance au point de vue juridique. Une promesse ainsi scellée était irrévocable. De nos jours, d'après la plupart des lois, il suffit d'adopter ou d'apposer un timbre, un cachet, une empreinte, ou de faire une marque ou une impression. L'inscription du mot «sceau» ou de «l.s.» («locus sigilli», place du sceau) suffit également. 4, record 1, French, - sceau

Los materiales utilizados en la fabricación de calcomanías son el pvc y el papel autoadhesivo. El pvc utilizado en la fabricación de calcomanías puede ser blanco o transparente, se caracteriza por ser altamente resistente y es aplicado en productos utilizados tanto en interior como exterior. [...] Las impresiones en estos casos son por serigrafía y las imágenes que se consiguen son de alta definición. En cuanto a las calcomanías de papel, su uso se orienta a interiores, y se tiene en cuenta que son menos resistentes que el pvc. Pueden ser impresas tanto por serigrafía como en offset [...] El papel utilizado puede ser papel obra o ilustración (papel con brillo). También pueden ser laminadas una vez impresas, ya sea para darle una mejor terminación o para aumentar la resistencia a la intemperie. 2, record 3, Spanish, - pegatina
