Seeded Paper Printing
Our innovative seeded paper contains wildflower or herb seeds embedded in recycled paper stock. When planted, it grows into a garden while maintaining professional print quality. The 280gsm thickness ensures durability for business cards, invitations, and promotional materials. Each sheet's unique seed distribution creates natural variations in plant growth patterns.

As the UK's first Vegetarian Society Approved printer, we guarantee animal-free inks and adhesives. Our entire production process avoids animal testing or derivatives, making all products suitable for vegan businesses. This certification ensures complete transparency in material sourcing while maintaining commercial print standards.

This service provides businesses with verifiable environmental credentials while delivering premium printed materials without compromising on quality or design options.

Questions
What makes Hatch's paper plantable?
Our seeded paper contains embedded wildflower or herb seeds within recycled paper pulp. When planted under soil, watered, and exposed to sunlight, the paper biodegrades and the seeds germinate.
Are all products truly vegan?
Yes, we hold Vegetarian Society Approved accreditation. All inks, adhesives, and paper stocks contain no animal derivatives and undergo no animal testing.
How thick is the seeded paper?
Our seeded paper has a 280gsm weight, similar to a postcard. This thickness ensures durability while allowing seeds to germinate effectively without compromising print quality.
Can I customise printed designs?
Yes, we print full-colour designs on seeded paper. Our printing process accommodates various layouts, though we recommend avoiding very fine text due to the paper's textured surface.
What delivery options are available?
We offer worldwide shipping with tracked delivery, next-day dispatch for UK orders, and click-and-collect options. International shipments use reliable logistics partners to ensure safe delivery.
How should I plant the paper?
Moisten the paper, place in soil with 2-3mm coverage, and compress lightly. Keep moist during germination. Most seeds sprout within 10 days during growing seasons (May-October).
