Sealing Wax

Sealing wax is a material used historically and traditionally to close and secure letters or documents, ensuring they remain private and tamper-evident. It typically consists of a mix of wax, resin, and colorants, melted and then dripped onto the envelope or container. Before it cools and hardens, a stamp or seal is pressed into the wax, leaving an impression that signifies authenticity and integrity. Today, sealing wax is also used for decorative purposes in crafts, weddings, and invitations, combining both functional and aesthetic qualities.
