Sealing Wax, Wax Seals and Wax Seal Stamps

What are Wax Seals Used For?

Wax seals are used for various purposes, including sealing wedding invitations, letters, and essential documents.

Wax seals provide a unique, elegant way to seal essential letters and documents. They also add an extra layer of security because it's difficult to forge a wax seal. 

When the receiver breaks the seal, they know they're the first and only one to have opened it.

It's more common now for wax seals to be used as decorative items for packaging, stationery such as invitations, to send a letter and to decorate gifts.

Types of Sealing Wax for Wax Seals

Can you use any wax for a wax seal?

Various types of sealing wax can enhance wedding invitations and seal envelopes. Popular choices include beeswax, carnauba wax, and resin-based waxes. 

Although standard candle wax is an option, creating a secure seal might be difficult, and its adhesion to paper could be less effective.

Our sealing wax can quickly and easily be melted using a glue gun. Our glue gun sealing wax is available in various colours, so you can choose the right colour to match your invitations.

Self Adhesive Wax Seals

You can create wax seals directly on the envelope or paper, or make them on silicone or a baking sheet, then let them cool before applying them later with glue. 

Adding an adhesive disc to the back allows you to make self-adhesive wax seals for future use.

The main benefit of making the wax seals on a silicone sheet is that any you feel are not perfect can be remelted and reused.

Wax Seals Stamps
When sealing your invitations, there's no better way to do it than with wax seals. Our selection of stamps includes a variety of designs that are perfect for adding a personal touch to your invitations.

Our wax seal stamps are made from high-quality materials, so you can be sure they'll make a lasting impression.

Ideal for Etsy sellers or a business that sells a select range of handmade items and gifts.

Sealing Wax Shades
When shopping for wax seals, the array of colors available for wedding invitations can be overwhelming. Popular choices range from classic white and ivory to bold black, red, and vibrant shades of pink, blue, and green.

As each batch is handmade and coloured, there will also be shade variations, so bear this in mind when shopping or placing your order.

How to Make Wax Seals
With our sealing wax, making wax seals is easy. All you need is some patience. You can use a glue gun but you can also use a melting spoon and wax burner. This method offers more precision and control over the amount of wax used.

Begin by melting the sealing wax using your glue gun or a burner. Once it's liquid, apply it to your letters, envelopes, or invitations. Subsequently, press the stamp firmly into the wax on your paper or envelope. Maintain the stamp in position for a few seconds to enable the wax to solidify and set.

The stamp can be used over and over, so even after the big day, you can create beautiful stationery or vintage seals for cards and gifts.
