Sealing Wax

Sealing Wax by JessyAtSea

Sealing wax, also known as wax seal beads, are small wax pellets used to create beautiful wax seals. Simply melt the beads and use them together with one of our wax seal stamps to decorate envelopes, gift wrapping, cards and more. Our sealing wax melts into a flexible finish and is available in over 60 colours, allowing you to create endless combinations.

A modern take on traditional sealing wax

Our sealing wax is a flexible variation of traditional wax that was once used to seal important documents and letters. Unlike traditional wax, our seals are not brittle, making them more durable and suitable for everyday use. This allows you to add a long-lasting and personal touch to invitations, cards, packaging and gifts.

How to use sealing wax beads

Use three wax beads for a 25 mm wax seal and four beads for a 30 mm seal. You can choose a single colour or mix different colours to create unique effects.

Melt the wax, pour it onto your surface and gently press your stamp into the warm wax. After around 30 seconds, the wax will have cooled and formed a clean, detailed seal.

Sealing wax for more than just wax seals

Sealing wax is not only used for traditional seals on letters and invitations. Thanks to its flexible properties, it can also be used for a variety of creative applications.

You can use sealing wax to decorate bottles and jars by dipping the lid into the melted wax. Once cooled, the wax can easily be cut open again. This creates a stylish presentation while keeping contents protected.

Looking to add a unique touch? You can also order a personalised wax seal stamp with your own design, logo or initials.

Sealing wax colours: get inspired

Sealing wax colours can be mixed to create completely new shades. With over 60 base colours available, the possibilities are endless.

How do you use sealing wax to make wax seals?

To make wax seals with sealing wax, place the required number of wax beads in a melting spoon and heat them until fully melted. Pour the wax onto your surface and gently press your wax seal stamp into it. After about 30 seconds, remove the stamp to reveal the seal.

What is sealing wax made of?

Our sealing wax is made from more than 70% beeswax, combined with other ingredients to ensure a smooth melt and a flexible finish.

How long does sealing wax take to harden?

Sealing wax typically takes around 30 seconds to harden. Once cooled, the wax seal is ready to touch and handle.

Can sealing wax be used with all wax seal stamps?

Yes, sealing wax can be used with all wax seal stamps. The amount of wax you use should match the size of the stamp to achieve the best result.

How should you store sealing wax?

Sealing wax should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keeping it in a sealed container helps maintain its quality.

Can sealing wax be used on envelopes and invitations?

Yes, sealing wax is perfect for use on envelopes, invitations, cards and gifts. It adds a personal and elegant finishing touch to any occasion.

Does sealing wax break in the post?

Modern sealing wax is flexible and less likely to crack during shipping. However, to fully protect your wax seals on envelopes, we recommend placing them inside an outer envelope when sending by post.

Is sealing wax waterproof?

Sealing wax is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It can withstand light moisture, but prolonged exposure to water may affect the seal.

Can you make sealing wax in advance?

Yes, you can create wax seals in advance using a wax seal mat. Once cooled, the seals can be stored and later attached to envelopes or packaging using adhesive.

Can sealing wax be reused after melting?

Sealing wax can be reheated and reused if it has not been contaminated. Simply melt it again and use it to create a new wax seal.

What surface can you use sealing wax on?

Sealing wax can be used on paper, envelopes, cardboard, glass and other smooth surfaces. For best results, apply the wax to a clean and dry surface.

What is the difference between sealing wax beads and glue gun wax?

Sealing wax beads are melted using a spoon and flame, allowing for more control and creative mixing of colours. Glue gun wax is designed for faster application but offers less flexibility in design.
