Foil and Wax Seals: Gold Seals, Anniversary Seals and Wax Seals Online
A foil seal is the shiny, serrated gold or silver seal you see on certificates, diplomas and awards. A wax seal is the pressed disc of red, navy or green wax that closes a letter or marks a document as authentic. Both say "official" and "special" at a glance, which is why they turn up on certificates, anniversary cards, wedding stationery and premium packaging.
These templates recreate both looks in the stamp maker: a metallic or wax seal under your own text. Every one of them is editable, so you can change the wording, the colour and the seal itself before you download it.
What Is in This Category
- Gold foil certificate seals modelled on the seals people really put on certificates: an "Official Seal of Excellence" with a laurel wreath and a ribbon banner, a certificate of completion seal with your organization's name, an honor roll seal for schools and a blue and gold seal of achievement.
- Award rosettes: a gold rosette with red ribbon tails, a scalloped winner rosette and a smooth "certified authentic" seal.
- Anniversary seals with a two-tone centre, such as a gold rim with a black centre or a silver rim with a green centre, ready for "15 years" or "25 years".
- Silver, bronze and rose gold seals for quality marks, second and third places, and thank-you notes.
- Wax seals in gold, ivory, burgundy, sage green, navy and black: wedding initials in a eucalyptus or laurel wreath, a single-letter monogram and a family name seal.
How to Make a Gold Seal or Wax Seal Online
- Pick a template from this page and open it in the stamp maker.
- Change the text. The words around the ring and in the centre are ordinary text elements: type your company name, the award, the date or the couple's initials.
- Choose the material. Select the seal layer to switch between metallic foil and sealing wax, and pick a colour: gold, silver, bronze, rose gold or one of the wax colours. Any custom colour works too.
- Shape the seal. For foil seals, choose a serrated, scalloped or smooth edge, set the number of points, and turn the shine or a two-tone centre on or off. The intensity slider makes the shading lighter or deeper.
- Keep the lettering raised. Text on these seals uses embossed letters: a light fill with a dark outline, mixed from the seal colour so it always matches.
You can also add a foil or wax seal to any other design: it is in the shape menu of the editor, next to the circle, rectangle and triangle. If you are new to seal layouts, our seal maker guide explains how ring text, centre text and borders work together.
Wax Seals for Letters and Weddings
A digital wax seal keeps the look of a real one without the wax: a soft, irregular edge, a pressed field in the middle and a little gloss on top. Real wax seals rarely carry a line of text around the edge. They show two initials, a single letter or a family name, often framed by a laurel or eucalyptus wreath, with a small date underneath, and gold is the most popular wax colour.
For invitations and save-the-date cards, pair a wax seal with our wedding stamps. For the details of a good wax seal design, such as how much text fits and which fonts survive at small sizes, read the wax seal stamp design guide.
Where to Use Foil and Wax Seals
- Certificates and diplomas: a gold foil seal in the lower corner makes a printed or PDF certificate look finished. Teachers can also start from our school stamp templates for classroom awards.
- Anniversaries and milestones: a two-tone anniversary seal with "10 years" or "25 years" works on staff awards, invitations and social posts.
- Product packaging and thank-you notes: a rose gold or bronze seal on a label or card adds a premium touch. For wording ideas, see our thank-you card stamp guide.
- Letters and confidential papers: a red or navy wax seal marks a letter as personal or not to be opened.
Downloads and Printing
The finished seal downloads as a transparent PNG, a JPG, a PDF, a Word file, an SVG or an EPS, so it fits digital certificates, invitations and print files. The SVG stays one vector file; its shine and relief are SVG lighting effects, which Illustrator and Affinity may show as a flat gradient. The EPS embeds the seal as a 600 dpi bitmap, sharp enough for print but not editable as paths. For printed certificates, place the PNG or PDF at the size you need, or print it on sticker paper to make your own seal stickers.
Want to put the seal straight onto a certificate? Stamping on PDF, Word and photo files is free in Stampdy.
Foil Seals vs. Rubber Stamps
A foil or wax seal is decorative: it shows that a document was issued with care. It does not replace a registered company seal, a notary seal or a signature where the law asks for one. For those, start from our company seal or notary stamp templates, which now also include classic seal edges such as a serrated notary border, an engineer's rope border and a corporate gear edge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change the gold colour? Yes. The seal takes the stamp colour, so any colour gives you a matching foil or wax seal, and the swatches offer gold, silver, bronze, rose gold and four wax colours.
Can I add my logo? Yes. Add an image in the editor and place it in the centre of the seal.
Does the aged-ink effect work on these seals? No. Foil and wax seals have their own lighting, so the aged-ink effect is switched off when you add one.
