This month, we're sharing the Artisaire Product Guide! This guide covers Wax Seals, Sealing Wax, and Wax Stamps in depth, from important facts about each product to which methods work best for different surfaces.
Wax Seals
There are two routes you can choose for premade wax seals; stock or custom. In this section, we’re going to cover both premade wax seal routes, starting with stock designs.
STOCK WAX SEALS
Stock designs are created by the Creative Community and ARTISAIRE. Stock designs are a great option if you decide at the last minute that you would like to add wax seals to your suite, or when you are in a pinch, because they ship faster than custom wax seals.

ADHESIVE BACKINGS
As mentioned, when you order Custom Wax Seals, you will need to choose your Adhesive Backing.
Note: You can also choose to have no adhesive backing added to your Custom Wax Seals, you might do this when you are only wanting to apply to one side of a gatefold for example. In this case, you would order your Adhesive Backings Separately, cut them in half, and apply them to the wax seals yourself.

Sealing Wax
Now for Sealing Wax! We offer two forms: Sealing Wax Sticks and Sealing Wax Beads. Our wax formula is different from traditional wax formulas in that, it’s both durable and flexible, which makes it perfect for mailing and stationery purposes! Our formula is also non-greasy(prevents absorption of sealing wax, leaving your paper stain-free) and has a high-viscosity (improves workability to create seals with a defined edge).
Our Sealing Wax Sticks and Sealing Wax Beads are made with the same formula; the only difference is how they are used. We’re going to start with our popular Sealing Wax, which is sticks!
