Reasons to Choose Seed Paper for Creative Print Projects

If you are looking for a way to make your print projects more eco-friendly, unique, and memorable, you might want to consider using seed paper. Seed paper is a type of recycled paper that contains embedded seeds that can grow into flowers, herbs, or vegetables when planted in soil.

The seeds are embedded between two thin sheets of paper - and the paper itself is made from recycled materials. The finished product is perfectly suitable for printing on, and seed paper can be used for a variety of print projects, including business cards, invitations, flyers, bookmarks, labels, tags, and more.

Here are some reasons why you might want to choose seed paper for your print projects:

• Biodegradable and compostable. Seed paper breaks down naturally in the soil and nourishes the plants that grow from it. If you are not planning to grow the seeds, the paper can be composted and used as organic fertiliser.
• Beautiful and creative. Seed paper comes in a variety of different colours, shapes, sizes, and textures. Using our vegetable-based inks, we can customise or personalise your seed paper with your own design, logo, message, or artwork. The medium is the message, as material adds a touch of nature to your print projects.
• Interactive and engaging. By inviting your recipients to plant your seed paper and watch it grow you are encouraging them to interact with your product and create a memorable experience, possibly creating a lasting impression and a positive association with your brand or event.
• Educational and inspirational. Seed paper is particularly suited for print projects that seek to raise awareness and promote causes related to the environment, sustainability, health, or social justice. You can even choose seeds that match your theme or message, such as wildflowers for biodiversity, fragrant herbs for culinary arts, or sunflowers to support Ukrainian refugees. You can also include instructions or tips on how to plant and care for the seed paper.
• Affordable and versatile. Seed paper is not expensive compared to other types of specialty paper. And it can be used for any occasion or purpose, such as promotions, fundraisers, and thank-you notes, or invitations for weddings and birthday parties.

So if you are seeking a biodegradable, beautiful, interactive, educational, and affordable paper, seed paper can help you create a lasting impression and a positive impact on your recipients and the environment. So why not give seed paper a try for your next print project?
