From message to meadow

Whether you’re printing invitations for citizen events, educational materials, or awareness campaigns, seed paper transforms each piece into something living and green. After use, the paper can be planted and will bloom into flowers, turning your message into a small habitat for bees and butterflies. That’s how communication becomes a contribution to biodiversity.

For bees, butterflies, and countless other insects, flowers are necessary for survival. Nectar gives them the energy to fly, and pollen nourishes the next generation. One flower alone can be visited dozens of times a day, meaning that together, our cards create hundreds of millions of pollinator visits.

By choosing seed paper for your mailing, you’re not only sending a message that lasts, you’re planting new food sources, creating habitats, and keeping our shared impact alive.

Possible uses:

  • Environmental and educational campaigns
  • Citizen engagement and awareness programs
  • Public greetings, invitations, and certificates
