What Is Seed Paper? And Why We Use It in Our Packaging

At PRWMade, we believe every part of a product should tell a story - even the packaging. That’s why many of our jewelry items are packaged in something special: seed paper.

It’s not just recyclable. It’s not just biodegradable. It grows wildflowers.

So, What Exactly Is Seed Paper?

Seed paper is a handmade, compostable paper embedded with real wildflower seeds. When planted in soil and watered regularly, it breaks down and sprouts into blooms - no waste, just beauty.

Think of it as packaging with a second life. Once you’re done unboxing, you can plant it and enjoy something new: a pot or patch of pollinator-friendly flowers.

Why We Chose It

  • 🌱 It reduces waste | No more plastic clamshells or throwaway cards
  • 🐝 It helps pollinators | The seeds grow into wildflowers that bees and butterflies love
  • 🌍 It aligns with our mission | Every piece should give something back

When you choose PRWMade, you're not just supporting a small handmade business - you're helping us plant trees, remove ocean plastic, and grow a little more green in the world.

How to Plant It

  1. Soak the paper in water for a few hours
  2. Place it in a pot or garden with soil
  3. Cover with a thin layer of soil
  4. Keep it moist and in sunlight
  5. Watch it bloom over the next few weeks 🌼

What kinds of flowers? Our seed paper typically includes a mix like Black-Eyed Susan, Bird’s Eye, Sweet Alyssum, and Snapdragons - all safe, non-invasive, and loved by pollinators.

Little Details, Big Impact

We could have chosen cheaper, mass-produced packaging. But that’s not our style. Every part of our product - from the wood to the wrap - is a reflection of the care we put into what we make.

We hope you’ll love the jewelry, and enjoy the flowers too 💚
