The Perfect Pour: How to Open a Wax-Sealed Bottle
There is something undeniably premium about a wax-sealed bottle. Whether it’s a high-end spirit or a boutique wine, that hand-dipped finish signals quality and craftsmanship. However, for many enthusiasts, the beauty of the wax poses a practical challenge: how do you get into the bottle without making a mess?
While some suggest "chipping" the wax with a knife or driving a corkscrew straight through it, these methods often result in unsightly wax crumbs falling into your drink. The most elegant solution—and the one we specialise in—is the tear strip ribbon.
Opening with a Tear Strip
If your bottle features one of our integrated ribbons, the process is effortless:
Locate the tab: Find the small portion of the ribbon peeking out from under the wax.
The Pull: Firmly pull the tab around the circumference of the neck. Our ribbons are designed to slice through the wax cleanly, creating a perfect "cap" that can be lifted off.
The Reveal: With the top removed, you’re left with a clean edge and an easy-to-access cork or cap. No flakes, no fuss.
Designed for Designers
We know that for brands, the wax isn't just a seal; it’s part of the visual identity. To ensure your packaging remains cohesive, our ribbons are available in a vast array of shades.
Unique to our online shop, we can provide HEX and RGB colour references for our entire range. This allows designers to perfectly sync the tear strip with the wax or secondary packaging elements. If you’re looking for a bespoke shade to match a specific brand palette, we also offer custom colours upon request.
