About This Product
Bortoletti Black Sealing Wax Stick is a vegan-friendly extra-fine sealing wax in a deep, classic black finish. Ideal for formal correspondence, luxury packaging and striking wax seal impressions, it delivers smooth melting and sharply defined results.
Bortoletti Sealing Wax Stick – Black
The Bortoletti Black Sealing Wax Stick is an extra-fine traditional sealing wax produced in Italy using a formulation perfected through generations of craftsmanship. Combining natural waxes, vegetable resins and finely ground pigments, it ensures smooth melting and precise seal impressions.
Deep Classic Black Finish
Black sealing wax offers a bold and sophisticated appearance, making it particularly suited to formal stationery, certificates, luxury packaging and contemporary monochrome designs. The strong contrast highlights engraved seal details with exceptional clarity.
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 form the traditional stick shape. This process creates a wax that flows evenly and captures intricate stamp designs with precision.
Each stick measures approximately 13cm and produces around 18–20 wax seal impressions, depending on the size of the seal stamp used.
Clean Flow & Reliable Performance
A high-quality sealing wax should melt quickly without burning while remaining fluid long enough to allow accurate stamping. Once impressed, the wax cools rapidly, producing crisp and professional results suitable for important documents and decorative applications.
Vegan-Friendly Composition
This sealing wax is vegan friendly, made using vegetable resins and natural pigments while maintaining the traditional appearance expected from classic sealing wax.

How to Use

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.
Here is a video showing one method I found on YouTube:
