While particularly apt for florists, landscape gardeners, botanical photographers and the like, these quirky cards would make a memorable calling card, whatever your business.
Not only will you stand out from your competitors, you’ll show the world that you are an ethical and environmentally-friendly brand. And hopefully, as your business cards grow, so will your business!
What is plantable paper?
Biodegradable and eco-friendly, plantable paper is made with post-consumer materials and embedded with wildflower seeds or garden herbs.
When the paper is planted in soil, the seeds grow into plants while the paper turns to compost. There is no waste so all your client will be left with is a flowering plant or herb, a smile on their face and a positive and lasting impression of you!
How do they work?
Growing your business cards (who’d have thought that would ever become ‘a thing’?) couldn’t be easier so your clients won’t need to be naturally green-fingered to reap the benefits.
According Botanical Paperworks, the world-leading supplier of eco-friendly seed paper, all they need to do is:
1. Fill a pot two thirds full with potting soil. Tamp down the soil so it is firm and springy but not packed tight. You can plant your card indoors or outside (indoor in extreme weather conditions).
2. Place your plantable paper over the soil. Cover with a 1/8 layer of soil and tamp down gently.
3. Water it thoroughly so it’s very moist but with not waterlogged. Keep the paper moist for the first ten days during the germination.
