Also 90% of the public is not going to read it before opening the product.
Wax seal stamp kit michaels how to#
Plus if you have to explain to the public on how to open your bottle then something's not right. My suggestion is if you have to include printed literature to explain how to open your bottle then don't bother waxing them, it's a waste of money to print something up. It's time consuming but looks nice and needs no explanation. I cut all the ribbons to length and then lay them on the bottle and hold them down with a rubber band and then dip. At the same time I switched to the more pliable stuff I started using a 1/4" wide nice looking decorative ribbon to help facilitate removing the wax. The stuff I get now is more pliable and pretty much stays together, very plasticy/rubbery, been using that for about 8 years. So I would have an simple instruction pamphlet hanging on the bottle explaining that the consumer should pull the cork up half way brush off the wax and then pull it the rest of the way out. The original stuff I used in the early 90's was almost a sealing wax used for doing wax stamp stuff on letters this is what was sold to me from the only place I could find for winery supply and it was in France. Basically there are two types of wax for sealing. I've been doing wax seals for more than 20 years on my Mead. Length: 32,000 ln ft (Roughly 64,000 bottles worth) Tom Cerny, Sales Manager, Payne - Richmond Inc., e-mail is ID: R1E060WHT0100 Here's the contact info for them, very nice guy to deal with, just tell him you're sealing bottles and he'll know what to send:
Obviously you need to wrap the tape on the bottle and leave a stub out for pulling (refer to earlier posts on wax seals), it'll tear off a clean strip that will still leave most of the wax intact. I'm guessing that'll take care of a few thousand cases for us. tape, the bad news (depending on your production amount) is the tape comes on a 32,000 ft roll that's about the size of a spare tire. The good news is the cost is a fraction of the pack. We just started using some stripping material from Payne-Richmond (as opposed to reinforced packaging tape) that seems to hold up very well. Just my 2 cents - hope it helpsīeen doing all wax seals for a year now, almost every color of the rainbow. My recommendation from a consummer point of view, is to use a thread or hang an opening instruction tag on the neck (you can also include some drink recipes on the tag) If you're using the wax for aesthetics purposes, my thoughts are that you'll get more attention to the bottle with a great label. I learned something but not everyone is going to visit Rick and have that experience. When I visited his distillery, and he poured a taste from a new bottle, he twisted the cap and the wax broke cleanly in a thin line, as part of the cap.
"How do I open this?" I had an unattractive bottle sitting on my livingroom bar. Can you imagine that bottle on a bar shelf?Ī few years ago, I bought a bottle of Wasmunds Single Malt ( Copper Fox Distillery) and did the same thing. I'm sure this is not how the distiller wanted that bottle to be opened, but there are no instructions and the wax chips are not a good marketing leave behind to encourage repurchases. Last week, My wife used a knife to cut a 1/2 inch wide channel around the neck of a Makers Mark bottle. As you recognize, wax poses an opening question for the consummer.
