About Wax Seal Stamps

1.What is a wax seal?

Sealing wax is a wax material of a seal which, after melting, hardens quickly (to paper, parchment, ribbons and wire, and other material) forming a bond that is difficult to separate without noticeable tampering. Wax is used to verify something such as a document is unopened, to verify the sender's identity, for example with a signet ring, and as decoration. 

Since the advent of a postal system, the use of sealing wax has become more for ceremony than security. Modern times have required new styles of wax, allowing for mailing of the seal without damage or removal. These new waxes are flexible for mailing and are referred to as glue-gun sealing wax, faux sealing wax and flexible sealing wax.

2.Can I mail the wax sealed envelopes?

If you want to place wax seals on the outer envelope and send them through by mail:

1). Ask for the hand cancelling and hand sorting service at your local post office. This will eliminate running the envelopes through the sorting machine which can damage the seals.
2). Use glue gun wax sticks. They are more pliable than traditional sealing wax.

3.How much does a custom wax seal stamp cost?

It depends on how "custom" you want your wax seal to be. We provide two types of custom wax seal stamps:
1). Customize initial/names using our templates: We have a variety of design temples for you to choose from, and you can customize your initials, name, and even the date of your special day.
2). Fully customize with your image: Send us your picture such as company logo, family crest, coat of arms, and signature, our artist can help you convert the image into wax seal design and make a wax seal stamp out of it.

4.I need to seal a lot of invitations. What equipment shall I use?

The glue gun is more for efficient. It works only with the glue gun wax seal sticks.

We also recommend using multiple stamps of the same engraving. Thus you can continue seal with a second stamp while the first one cools down.

5.What size of stamp head should I order?

Our standard stamp head is round, coming in 5 size options: 25mm (0.98"), 30mm (1.18"), 40mm (1.57"), 45mm (1.77")and 50mm (1.96") in diameter.

25mm and 30mm are more commonly used.

6.Do you customize wax seal stamps?

We provide two types of custom wax seal stamps:

1). Customize initial/names using our templates: we have a variety of design temples for you to choose from, and you can customize your initials, name, and even the dates of special days.

2). Fully customize with your image: if none of our designs appeal to you, you can also send us your picture such as company logo, family crest, coat of arms, and signature, our artist can help you convert the image into wax seal design and make a wax seal stamp out of it!
