There are a few benefits to choosing seed paper for your holiday business gifts

• Creating a memorable experience for your recipients and giving them the tools to start gardening — The paper is infused with 6 different wildflower seeds that bloom when given proper water, sunlight, and soil. Each seed paper sheet is tested for germination at our facility to ensure wildflowers bloom.
• Supporting eco-friendly, green values — The paper is made of recycled paper waste to save trees and it’s fully compostable. No waste is left behind.
• Gaining positive word-of-mouth and brand likeability – Those who have never heard of or seen seed paper before will be excited to plant your gift. They may also share their plant-growing process with friends and family, which is a bonus promotion for your brand.
• Making an impression — Each sheet of seed paper has a different textured look from the rest, which makes it look different than other mail.
• Quick, hassle-free ordering process from a Canadian-based company — As a supplier and manufacturer, all of our products are made, assembled, and shipped out of our warehouse in Winnipeg, MB. That means we have complete control of our supply chain and can offer quick turnarounds. As little as 3 days!
