Can wax seals be used on various types of paper and envelopes?

Yes, our Bortoletti sealing wax is designed to perform beautifully on a variety of high-quality papers and envelopes. However, to get the best results:

Best Paper Choices: Choose thicker, fountain pen–friendly, or calligraphy paper that can support the melted wax without excessive absorption. This helps the wax remain on the surface, ensuring a well-defined imprint.

Avoid Overly Porous Materials: Papers that soak too quickly may not display the sheen or detail of the wax seal as intended.

Testing: If you’re uncertain, test the wax on a small area or a sample piece of paper from the intended stationery before applying it to more significant projects.

Using high‑quality paper in tandem with Bortoletti sealing wax ensures that your correspondence and invitations have a truly refined finish.
