below for the seed paper envelope details. When the envelopes are planted,

Seed Bombs
Seed Bombs or seed balls, are small clusters packed with seeds that were
historically made to spread greenery and colorful habitats in urban
landscapes or neglected areas.

In the 1970s, Green Guerrillas were tired of Manhattan’s crumbling concrete

sprawl and began tossing what they called seed green-aids (which sounds
like grenades), hence the name seed bombs! Botanical PaperWorks seed
bombs are made from post-industrial material to protect the seeds and
retain water for germination.

PRINTING ON SEED PAPER

 Seed paper sheets contain seeds that have been selected

because they are easy to grow and smaller in size so the
paper is smooth and more suitable for print.

 However, there are some important things to note such as

avoiding laser printers which kills the seeds. Learn more
about the acceptable methods for printing below.
  First of all, the sheets are approximately 85 lb cover weight
but will vary slightly in thickness.

 They have smooth, trimmed edges and can be used for a

variety of printing methods; however, results will vary.

 When printing on plantable paper, we recommend using one

the following methods of printing:

I. Inkjet (preferred for home or office)

II. Offset printing press, 1, 2 or 4 color
III. Screen printing
IV. Letterpress

 INKJET

If you’re not a professional printer and plan to print on the seed

paper yourself at home or at the office, we recommend using a
top loading inkjet printer for best results. Below are a few
things to keep in mind:

 Use an inkjet printer that has a straight paper path that

doesn’t bend the paper over itself when feeding (most
HP desktop printers do this).
 Because of the varying thickness of this special paper,
you may have to help your printer feed the sheets
through when it tries to grab a sheet by holding the
paper straight. Don’t expect to be able to put a pile of
 paper in the rear tray and walk away! Most desktop
printers are designed with plain paper in mind, which
slides easily. The seed paper does not slide easily so,
therefore, you have to watch and occasionally help the
printer along.
 Some machines will have a setting for less abrasion,
which means thicker paper. This setting will lessen the
chance of a head strike, which appears as smudges on
the paper.
 Test your print settings to see what works best for your
design. If you have heavy ink coverage, be sure to print
on HQ settings and always run a test print.

 OFFSET PRINTING PRESS

Most of our double thick stock’s caliper is around 20 – 22 pt. Use a

micrometer as you would with any stock. Heating the seed-
embedded paper can affect the seed germination, therefore we
recommend turning off IR lamps. To assist with the drying
process, add dryer to the ink.

 Waterless Offset is preferable to conventional.

 To ensure accurate alignment, we recommend printing 4-

color jobs on a 4-color press, rather than doing two passes
on a 2-color press.
  SCREEN PRINTING
You can screen print on seed paper but you’ll see some white
around the seeds as the surface is not perfectly flat. The use of a
soft squeegee is recommended.

 LETTERPRESS
Letterpress may crush some of the seeds so germination may be
affected, especially when the seeds are larger like some of the
herb or veggie seeds. Try to use ink that is low tack.
