How It Works

How It Works

You have a design in mind — initials, a wedding date, a logo, a photo, a video. We turn it into something you can touch. This page walks you through every path: the stamp you use yourself, the seals we make for you, and the smart seal that opens a link when tapped. Find the one that sounds like you — then follow the steps. Everything you see is made to order — crafted for you in 2–3 weeks, and worth every day of the wait.

Step 1: Find Your Path

All three paths lead to a beautiful wax seal. The difference is how you get there — and how much you want to be part of the process.

🖐️ I want to make seals myself Custom Stamp — a brass tool engraved with your design. You melt wax. You press the stamp. The ritual, the process, the satisfaction — all yours. One-time purchase. Lifetime of use. 💌 I want seals delivered to me Custom Pre-Made Seals — we design, craft, and ship. Peel-and-stick ready. No melting. No stamping. Just beautiful, identical seals, one after another. 📱 I want my seal to do something NFC Smart Seals — a wax seal with a chip inside. Tap with a phone → your photos, video, or playlist opens. Looks like a seal. Works like magic.

Still not sure? This might help.

💍 "I'm getting married and need 80 seals for invitations."

If you want the ritual — wine, music, sealing together — get a Custom Stamp. If you want them perfect, identical, and ready — get Custom Pre-Made Seals. If you want guests to tap the seal and see your engagement photos — get NFC Smart Seals. There's no wrong answer — there's the one that fits how you want to spend your evenings before the wedding.

🏢 "I run a small business and want wax seals on client proposals."

Get a Custom Stamp. Brass Only if you already own a handle. Stamp + Handle if you don't. Keep it on your desk. Seal every proposal. Over a year of regular use, the cost per impression drops to pennies. Pre-made seals make sense for seasonal campaigns — but for ongoing use, the stamp pays for itself fast.

🎁 "I want to give a gift to someone who's never tried this."

Get the Starter Kit. Everything in one box. They'll make their first seal within ten minutes of opening it. Submit their initials or a meaningful symbol as the design. No other gift says I want you to make beautiful things quite like this.

🕊️ "I want to commemorate someone's life at a memorial."

Get Special Moment Keepsake Seals. You don't need artwork. You submit the dates. We create a simple, elegant timestamp seal. They arrive peel-and-stick ready. Simple. Dignified. No design process to navigate during a difficult time.

🌿 "I love plants and want something beautiful without designing anything."

Browse our Designed Seals. Monstera leaves. Maple leaves. 3D butterflies. Seasonal florals. All designed by our team. All peel-and-stick. Just choose your favorite, pick a quantity, and wait for them to arrive.

Step 2: Submit Your Design

This is the part where your idea becomes something real. You don't need design skills. You don't need special software. You just need a clear idea of what you want — and we handle the rest.

  1. Choose your product and options — Size, quantity, handle preference, candle fragrance (for Starter Kits). Everything on one page.
  2. Upload your design at checkout — SVG, PNG, PDF, photo of a sketch, or a written description. No separate emails. No "I'll send it later." Submit everything right when you order.
  3. Complete your purchase — PayPal or bank transfer. Secure. Simple.
  4. We create your proof — Within 2–3 business days, you'll receive a digital proof showing exactly what your stamp or seal will look like. Check spelling. Check proportions. Check every detail.

  6. We make it real — 3–5 business days to engrave your stamp or craft your seals. Every piece is inspected before it leaves.

Step 3: Using the NFC Link Generator

This step is only for NFC Smart Seals. Skip if you're ordering a stamp or standard pre-made seals.

Every NFC seal comes with a chip inside that opens a link when tapped. You create that link using our built-in generator — before you even check out.

  1. Upload your file to the NFC Link Generator — JPG, PNG, WEBP for photos. MP4 for video. MP3 for audio. HTML or HTM for web pages. Our tool creates a private, secure URL instantly.
  2. Set your link lifecycle — Choose an activation date (when your link goes live) and an expiration date (when it stops working). After expiration, all your uploaded files are automatically and permanently deleted from our server.
  3. Copy your link — The generator gives you a unique URL. Save it. You'll need it at checkout.
  4. Submit at checkout — Paste your NFC link. Upload your seal design artwork. One checkout. Everything in one place.
  5. We program your chips — Every seal is handcrafted with the NFC chip sealed inside. Every chip is programmed with your link. Invisible. Protected. Ready.
  6. Manage your link anytime — Log in to your link management page to change the destination, update the expiration date, or remove your content entirely. Your seal stays the same. Your link changes whenever you want.
