Hatch, proudly introduces – seeded paper, the paper you can plant.
We do love to throw people curve balls, so thats exactly what we have done, meet our seeded paper! This clever paper is not only made from recycled materials but it also contains embedded seeds. This means once the paper is planted, it can actually grow into a mini wild flower garden or even a fresh herb garden.
More info:
Thickness: 280gsm, this about as thick as a postcard.
Seeds: Wild Flower (Birdsfoot Trefoil, Black Knapweed, Black Medick, Meadow Buttercup, Musk Mallow, Ox-Eye-Daisy, Ribworth Plantain, Red Campion, Slad Burnet, Self Heal, White Campion, Yarrow.
Herb – (Dill, Thyme, Basil, Rocket)
* There is no set amount of seeds per sheet
Just remember, just like mother nature herself, our seeded stock isn’t perfectly uniformed so your end result won’t be 100% regimented in terms of colour and size, this makes each item unique. If you want something that can stand up against an army inspection its best to stick with our other stock options that have smoother finish. Lastly, just like a packet of seeds we cannot guarantee germination of every seed.

👉This paper is 100% biodegradable and made from recycled materials, it really does hold the gold medal in being kind to our environment.
👉When the paper is made a range of seeds are thrown into the mix, meaning not only does it add to the aesthetics of the paper but it will grow into a range of flowers or herbs.
👉Lastly and most importantly we are very proud to say with our experience and knowledge of the paper we have a top secret way to print anything from solid colour to light coverage without cooking the seeds, so whatever your printed product let us reassure you this will germinate just like any seed from a packet.

This paper is made from post-consumer materials, like old birthday cards, leaflets and flyers, so no longer will these items go to waste. The best feature of this paper are the seeds! Yes thats…we said seeds, when this paper is made selected seeds are added in the process, which means this paper will grow once planted.
This paper is an off white colour, with a thickness of 280gsm about as thick as a postcard, meaning its great for many things like wedding invites, flyers, greeting cards and business cards.

Still want to know a little more, then check out below, these are some common questions..
What do the seeds grow into you say?

Wildflower – Birdsfoot trefoil, black knapweed, black medick, meadow buttercup, musk mallow, ox-eye daisy, ribwort plantain, red campion, salad burnet, self heal, white campion, yarrow. **Growing period May – Oct, flower colours range from yellow, purple, pink, white and red
How do the seeds affect my artwork once?
It is good to think about the seeds when designing your artwork as the seeds are raised, this will affect the way the artwork is printed. It does give that earthy nature feel, which can truly make add to your design.
A handy hint, we would advise against using a thin or small font are this would be quite hard to read once printed.
Something to keep in mind is, as the seeds do give the paper an uneven texture it can jiggle about meaning the print will not be 100% regimented.
Each print will be unique, just like Mother Nature herself.
Finally, the ultimate questions…How do I plant the paper?
Simply moisten the paper and place in a pot with soil, ensure there is only about couple of mm of soil on top of the paper, slightly compress but not too much as the little seeds need to grow up.
If you plant the paper correctly and in the right season, you will see your seedlings start to sprout after 10 days. Woooooo….
