Pirate-Inspired Stamps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Use the Crossbones Wax Seal for Your Halloween Invitations

— October 4, 2013 — Art & Design
If you're hosting a Halloween gala, the crossbones wax seal is the perfect accessory to give your invitations an extra edge that fits the scary theme.

Since people don't use wax stamps that often anymore, adding these to your cards makes them classy. The creepy skull and crossbones look is where the creepy factor comes in, making them perfect for a costume party invitation. The set comes with engraved brass seals, but not the wax. When you're not using these for your letters, you can use the seals as random Halloween decorations to give your house a more frightening look.

The crossbones wax seal is also a great gift to get a friend who's a fan of hosting parties or even someone's who's a fan of pirates.
Trend Themes
1. Wax Stamp Revival - The resurgence of using wax stamps presents an opportunity for businesses to create innovative and unique designs for various occasions.
2. Creepy-themed Invitations - The demand for spooky and eerie invitations opens opportunities for businesses to offer creative designs and accessories that cater to Halloween and costume parties.
3. Decorations with a Twist - The trend of repurposing wax seals as Halloween decorations suggests an opportunity for businesses to offer versatile and multi-purpose products that can be used in different contexts.
Industry Implications
1. Stationery and Paper Goods - Manufacturers and designers in the stationery industry can explore new designs and materials for wax stamps and create Halloween-themed party invitation suites.
2. Event Planning and Party Supplies - The party supply industry can tap into the demand for spooky-themed events and offer unique, pirate-inspired decorations, including wax seals, to enhance the overall experience.
3. Home Decor - The home decor industry can capitalize on the repurposing trend by offering decorative wax seal sets specifically designed for Halloween and other creepy-themed occasions.
