Seed Paper Norwich, Norfolk FAQs

What types of printing products can be created using environmentally friendly wildflower seed paper?

Wildflower seed paper offers a versatile and eco-friendly choice for printing various products. It’s commonly used for plantable greeting cards, ideal for birthdays, weddings, and holidays, allowing recipients to grow wildflowers from the card when planted. Invitations for weddings, baby showers, or corporate events benefit from seed paper, adding a unique and sustainable touch.

Eco-conscious businesses can impress with seed paper business cards that convey contact details while promoting environmental awareness. Brochures and flyers made from seed paper make marketing memorable as recipients can plant the paper, watching it bloom into flowers, reinforcing a commitment to sustainability. Additionally, seed paper is suitable for bookmarks, wedding favors, calendars, notepads, postcards, promotional products, and custom packaging. However, success depends on factors like paper thickness, printing method, and the seed blend, so working with a professional printer experienced in seed paper is advisable for optimal eco-friendly results.

How long does the seed paper take to germinate?

7-10 days, please keep in sunlight and water daily to give it the best chance of germination.

Will the print quality be consistent on the seeded paper?
