Herbin sealing wax with wick, 5 sticks, gold or silver

Add a personal wax seal to an invitation, letter or decorative paper with Herbin sealing wax with wick. Melt the wax using the built-in wick and press your chosen sealing stamp into the warm wax. Gold and silver add a metallic accent to handwritten work.

What is included?

A pack contains five 12 cm wax sticks in one chosen colour, each protected separately in its case. Allow approximately ten seals per stick; the actual number depends on stamp size and the amount of wax used. The photo shows one stick as a colour example. A sealing stamp is not included.

Choosing gold or silver

Choose gold for a warm metallic accent or silver for a cooler accent. The pack is not a colour assortment. Use this traditional wax preferably for letters and invitations delivered by hand; choose a mailing-suitable sealing wax for postal use.

Making a seal

Light the wick and drip wax onto your chosen spot. Extinguish the wick when you have enough wax. Press the stamp into the still-soft wax, let the seal cool and lift the stamp gently. Practise on a test piece first. Explore calligraphy materials, drawing and writing materials.

Use and storage

Use under adult responsibility, on a heat-resistant surface and away from flammable materials. Keep the lit wick attended and avoid touching hot wax. Store the sticks in their case at around 20 °C.
