Plantable Postcards
These postcards don’t get binned; they get planted.
Each one is printed on our handmade seed paper, crafted at our paper mill, and packed with UK-native wildflower seeds, so your message keeps working long after it’s landed on the doormat.
They’re a favourite for direct mail, product launches, thank-you notes and seasonal campaigns. Every order also supports the charity that runs our UK paper mill.

How To Plant & Grow Your Postcards
Your plantable seed paper postcards couldn’t be easier to grow. Add a “plant me” note to your design so recipients know what to do next.
- Tear the postcard into small pieces.
- Soak the pieces briefly in water.
- Plant about 1/4 inch deep in soil.
- Do this in March or September.
- Keep the soil moist.
- Put it somewhere sunny.
- Expect sprouts in 10–14 days; some flowers won’t bloom till next year, so leave the spot alone.
How Should I Get My Artwork Ready To Print?
Upload a print-ready PDF at the finished size of 148 x 105mm with 3mm bleed on every edge.
Keep your text and logos safely inside the trim line for a perfect finish.
Not a designer? Use Canva, send a share link, and we’ll prep the file for print. Not sure your file’s ready? Run it through our free artwork check before you upload, and we can recommend any changes to get the best results.
Adding A QR Code?
Running a campaign or driving people to a landing page?
Add a high-contrast QR code at least 20 x 20mm, with clear space around it. We’ll always test it scans before your postcards go to print.
Printing & Delivery
Your four working days start once we’ve received artwork we can print. Not the day you order.
That covers both printing and delivery, and every order is sent tracked with Royal Mail, so you’ll get a tracking link and number as soon as it’s dispatched.
