Bortoletti Sealing Wax Stick – Bronze
The Bortoletti Bronze Sealing Wax Stick is an extra-fine traditional sealing wax produced in Italy using a formulation perfected through generations of artisan experience. Made from natural waxes, vegetable resins and finely ground pigments, it delivers smooth melting and sharply defined wax seal impressions.
Warm Metallic Bronze Finish
Bronze sealing wax offers a refined metallic appearance with a warm antique character. The rich tone complements rustic wedding themes, heritage stationery and luxury packaging, enhancing engraved seal designs with depth and subtle brilliance.
Traditional Extra-Fine Sealing Wax
Bortoletti sealing wax is produced by blending mineral fillers and coloured pigments with natural wax while hot, before being poured into moulds to create the traditional stick form. This careful process ensures even flow and excellent reproduction of fine stamp details.
Each stick measures approximately 13cm and produces around 18–20 wax seal impressions, depending on the diameter of the seal stamp.
Clean Flow & Consistent Results
A quality sealing wax should melt quickly without burning while remaining fluid long enough to allow accurate stamping. Once impressed, the wax cools rapidly to produce crisp and professional seal impressions suitable for invitations and decorative applications.
Vegan-Friendly Composition
This sealing wax is vegan friendly, created using vegetable resins and natural pigments while maintaining the traditional performance expected from classic sealing wax.
Perfect For
- Rustic and autumn wedding invitations
- Luxury packaging and branding
- Vintage or heritage stationery
- Gift wrapping and presentation
- Decorative wax seal projects
How to Use
- Melt the wax using a flame, spoon or alcohol burner.
- Allow the wax to form a small pool.
- Press your seal stamp firmly into the wax.
- Wait approximately 20 seconds before lifting the stamp.
For additional contrast, raised seal details can be enhanced using gold or silver sealing wax cream.
Rich, elegant and timeless, Bortoletti Bronze sealing wax brings warmth and sophistication to traditional sealing and modern stationery alike.

Hi Trina,
Thank you for asking. Bortoletti recommends using 90% pure alcohol or denatured alcohol (Methylated spirits) for a stable, odourless flame that does not burn or discolour the wax.
The two best, least expensive fuels for the alcohol lamps are denatured ethanol (ethyl alcohol; grain alcohol), and methanol (methyl alcohol; wood alcohol; methylated spirit); both can be cheaply obtained at hardware stores or home-improvement centers.
What is the alternative to denatured alcohol for alcohol lamp?
Try using >99% isopropyl alcohol. It's the closest in structure and physical properties. Denatured alcohol is mostly ethanol with methanol mixed in so it can be sold for non-food use.
Please note that Calligraphy Arts does not sell this as it requires specialist posting, but it is freely available at many hardware and cosmetic accessory stores.
I hope that helps,
Jane
Hello Irene,
Thanks for asking. To seal a lid on a jar, you need to heat the end of the sealing wax with something like a kitchen lighter and carefully drip the melted wax over the area you want to seal. Then, while the wax is still warm, you can press your stamp.
