Recommendation For Wax Stamp And Seal


TheAkwardNinja

Recommended Posts

I'm helping plan a high school prom and it has been discussed to use a wax seal on our ticket envelopes. Is there any recommended kits and brands? It's probably only going to be used once, but we something simple and reliable. Any suggestions?‹

Mustom (Forderly Red Comma) might make a wax stamp of your school or class logo. Check photos in posts on FPN to see whether the ones they make would suit you.

I've used sealing wax on personal correspondence; it's fun and decorative and can be a unique experience for the recipient. It takes about 3 minutes to do a single envelope. I can get it down to about 90 seconds each if I've got four or five. But mass producing sealing wax invitations sounds like a big job. Could be frustrating and a bit dangerous.

 

You can get custom adhesive-backed foil seals from many printing shops or mail order. They can be stylish or dumb, depends on the design.

 

There are wax sealing kits that use a glue gun to melt the wax stick instead of a flame.

Getting a custom engraved seal is not expensive:

And you can get peel and stick wax seals that require no heat:

You can't get a lot of detail in the die so lower your expectations for the complexity of the design.

 

Please revisit the forum and tell us how your project ended up. Luck and have fun.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
