Ancient Time And Today Sealing Wax

Using Sealing Wax and seal stamps is a method for sealing or closing letters that were hand delivered and it dates back to ancient times where the sealing material was clay. The process involves melting a sealing wax stick and dripping it onto a material, most often a letter, wrapping paper, a parchment, an envelope, ribbons or twine wrapping. Next you press your seal into the wax before it hardens. The bond formed on or between your materials is difficult to break without notice.

Today using Sealing Wax Sticks for Wax Seal Stamps are more about ceremony than security. Wax seals are great for wedding invitations or bottle decorations. A nice Sealing Wax Sticker will bring the ordinary to extraordinary. While there are many Wax Seal and stamp manufacturers that continue to make traditional sealing wax using historical formulations, there are new styles of sealing wax that are flexible and can survive mailing through the modern postal system. These are known as glue gun sealing wax sticks or flexible sealing wax sticks and are also used extensively in craft projects.
