Wax seals are certainly a niche area of print but nevertheless has had interesting developments with brands such as Stamptitue transforming the way you can use this old fashioned process.
Wax seals can be traced back far into our history. Each seal would be unique to its owner and would often be used in place of a signature or in combination with due to widespread illiteracy during the 13th century. Traditionally stamped directly onto the document, or envelope to seal it shut, seals were typically used in private correspondence between two people. This however dulled out when a postage reform in the form of the industrial age took hold of the Western World. Fast forward to the modern day, seals have, similar to calligraphy, been resurrected in the art of letter writing in our digital age.
Over the last 5 years, Stamptitude have strived to bring the art of wax sealing to the modern market.

Headquartered across the globe in Hong Kong, Stamptitude is a family-owned business whose passion for design and attention to detail are well-respected internationally. Some of their clients include some their favourite artists and calligraphers and have worked with the likes of Disney, Dior and The Grammys along the way.
