From R1,495

Some things are worth putting in ink.

Make a business introduction.

You’ve been trying to get through to someone. Send a thoughtful letter that explains why you’re reaching out and gives them a reason to reply. Letter-only option available upfront.

Write to someone you love.

An anniversary, a milestone or an ordinary day when you want to say something they can keep. Send a letter on its own or add a gift that means something to the two of you.

Thank a teacher or mentor.

Tell them what they did and why it mattered. One specific memory can make the whole letter. A notebook or pen can be an optional addition.

Send a Christmas or year-end thank-you.

Thank the people who worked with you, referred you, supported you or helped you get through the year. Commission one personal letter or a batch with a different message for each recipient.

Illustrative letter excerpt

“I’ve been thinking about the introduction you made in May. That one conversation opened a door we’d been knocking on for months. I wanted to thank you properly for thinking of us.”

It started with one envelope.

I’d been trying to get a CEO’s attention for a while. Eventually, I wrote him a letter by hand and sent it with a bottle of wine. That was what finally got his attention.

I kept thinking about how different it felt to put something in someone’s hands. That’s where SealedScript began.
