Customer FAQs
What is plantable seed paper?
Does what it says on the tin. It’s handmade fully recycled paper embedded with wildflower seeds. And yep, you can plant it. Just follow the instructions provided, but crucially, plant in soil, water, grow flowers. Magic.
Because it’s handmade every piece of Seed Print paper is unique, like the best of us, so prepare to embrace slight variations in texture, thickness & shade.
Where are SeedPrint products made?
The centre of the universe, or at least the centre of England, better known as Leicester*. We’re proud to be a fully British production company.
*Or if you want to get really specific, Willday Printers. Thomas Willday, the founder of Seed Print, is the fourth generation to run the family printing business. So yeah, they know a thing or two about printing.
Will my seed paper expire?
To give those seeds their best shot, Seed Print paper should be planted within two years. It will still grow beyond that but germination rates decline after that period. So get cracking.
In the meantime, keep your seed paper stored in a cool dry place for optimal growing potential.
What is SeedPrint paper made from?
Our plantable paper is made from fully recycled paper. It gets smushed down into a pulp, and then the seeds are added. It’s then formed into sheets ranging from 200 to 300gsm in thickness.
When is the best time to plant seed paper?
Spring is generally the best time as the seed paper gets a helping hand from some extra sunshine and warmth. Try to dodge planting at times of year when the ground is likely to freeze.
If you don’t have access to a garden, SeedPrint paper can be planted indoors, too. Just make sure there’s a good, regular dose of daylight and water.
