Manuscript - Ink Pads

Ink Pads

Highlight wax seals with metallic gold and silver for elegant depth

Metallic highlights transform plain wax seals into dimensional, eye-catching designs. Manuscript formulates these pads specifically for seal work, with pigment densities that catch and hold in wax texture without obscuring fine detail. The metallic particles settle into recessed areas while highlighting raised surfaces, creating contrast that makes heraldic motifs and intricate patterns read clearly from across a room.

Gold and silver options let you match seal aesthetics to invitation themes or correspondence styles. The ink adheres to both traditional sealing wax and modern glue gun alternatives, maintaining metallic brilliance without tarnishing or fading over time. Compact pad size makes controlled application straightforward, press your sealed impression lightly onto the pad, then let the metallic ink dry completely before handling.

This technique works particularly well for wedding invitations, formal correspondence, and gift packaging where visual impact matters. The metallic finish elevates standard wax seals from functional closures to decorative elements that recipients actually notice and appreciate. Each pad delivers hundreds of applications before requiring replacement.
