All you need to know about seed paper

What is seed paper?

Seed paper (also: growing paper) consists of two layers of paper, with seeds in between. The paper can be put into the soil, and with proper care, the seeds will germinate after a while. Seed paper is available in many sizes and can be printed with your own design. Want to know more? Read our blog 'Everything you need to know about seed paper'.

In what format should I supply my seed paper artwork?

  • Please upload your design in one of the following file types: .AI, .EPS, .PDF, JP(E)G of PNG. Make sure that the file matches with the paper size and the sizes of the printing area.
  • Do not supply a design with full blocks of ink coverage, such as pictures and photos that cover a large part of the printing area. This can result in stripes when printing. We can print maximum 30% of the seed paper.
  • Looking for full bleed printing? This is only available with the sizes A4, A5 and A6 of the 200 gsm seed paper. For other sizes, make sure you save a blank space from at least 3 mm from the edges.
