Review: Custom Wax N’ Seals Personalised Wax Seal

I am happy to put my hands up and admit that I have become somewhat of a stationery junkie over the last year since starting my Bullet Journal and finding some likeminded penpals. When sending letters to my friends I like to be able to add something a bit extra to make them stand out and when I recently spotted people using wax seals I knew I had to give it a go.

Using wax to seal a document was probably the first method of authenticating and securing it against prying eyes. A seal is usually an emblem signifying the sender in some way, often incorporating heraldic devices (like a family crest) surrounded by a text running around the perimeter.

These days laser engraving makes it easy to create your very own seal with infinite design options. When looking for someone to make me a personalised wax seal I came across Custom Wax N’ Seals run by The Design Station who use computer designed artwork with precision laser engraving.

I decided to go for my initials ‘ML’ and was able to choose the seal handle, the layout option as well as the font for the lettering. Custom Wax N’ Seals then got in touch with some design options and I was able to choose my favourite before they proceeded to make the seal. I really love this service as it gives the customer the chance to really see their design and understand what it will look like.

When my wax seal arrived I was happy to see that Custom Wax N’ Seals had included some wax as well as some of their peel and seal sticker versions of my seal which made it super easy to see what my seals would look like. I have used the seal many times since it arrived and although I still need a bit of practice the wax seals look great!

I really love my personalised wax seal from Custom Wax N’ Seals and would recommend them to anyone looking to add something special to their correspondence or stationery. The customer service was fantastic, the options endless and the final product is top notch. I am hoping to get a family crest seal made up soon! I award them 5 out of 5 stars.
