Sealing Waxes - Traditional, Breakable

Traditional sealing wax is a hard, brittle wax used to seal letters, invitations, certificates, and important documents.

Unlike modern flexible sealing waxes, traditional wax is designed to break when the seal is opened.
The broken wax is evidence that the sealed item has been opened.

Traditional sealing wax is typically made with a combination of shellac and plant rosins, gums, and oils that could be melted and stamped.
