  1. 0:00Every wax seal inherits its die, flaws included.
  2. 0:05Wax shows only height. Go one colour, bold strokes, open counters, no tagline. The die is mirrored: check both views.
  3. 0:16Seals finish larger than the die. Print your art at that size; if it's unclear at arm's length, it fails in wax. Size for your tightest use.
  4. 0:27Depth has no single number: specify behaviour, then test. Sloped walls release; vertical walls and deep slots tear. Keep depth even, tool marks polished out.
  5. 0:39Approve in two stages: the digital engraving proof, then a small batch of test impressions in your wax. Record the approved die so later sticker runs match.
  6. 0:50A documented die lets peel-and-stick runs match your launch pieces.
  7. 0:55Send your die record or artwork for a sticker quote.
