Seed paper sounds gimmicky, honestly it kind of is. The paper has seeds in it, you plant it after using it and plants grow. Business cards, bookmarks, tags, notepads even. Instead of throwing paper away you stick it in dirt and flowers show up eventually. The problem is cost. Seed paper costs way more than regular paper, sometimes double or triple depending on seeds. Wildflower seeds are common, herbs like basil work. You need to tell people what to do with it though. Not everyone knows seed paper exists, they’ll just throw it away like normal paper if you don’t include instructions. Which defeats the entire point of using seed paper in the first place.
These make sense for environmental conferences, sustainability events, those obvious connections. They work other places too if you’re creative about it. Real estate companies could do housewarming themes with seed paper. Garden stores, landscaping businesses, farmers markets. The connection to what you do matters, random eco-friendly stuff without context feels forced.
