The Secret of Our Success – Continued Innovation…

Steve Porsborg, our seed paper making facility guru (i.e. manager) is pictured here holding a sheet of seed paper utilizing our newest process for manufacturing flat 4-color process printable paper. We can now print 4-color on most custom seed mixes (small seeds only of course)! Making nice, flat seed paper sheets with high germination rates is what we continue to do best. Still made from 100% recycled paper and flat enough to go through our inkjet printers, our seed papers continues to be the greenest and growin’est.

You asked for it, and now we’ve got it! Small batch 4-color print runs on custom seed papers (including parsley, chives, basil, grass, carrots, lettuce, and more) are now available! Of course we can always letterpress print on any of our papers with 1 or 2 colors for that old world debossed look.

We continue to find new and better ways of doing things! Innovation is alive and well at Bloomin’ and remains the secret to our 16 years of growth.

Our NEWEST Printable Seed Paper

What’s Up, Doc?

 

carrot seed paper

We made this paper for a promotion this spring. It was a 2″ x 3.5″ orange seed paper card embedded with carrot seeds and letterpressed with black soy ink. You gotta love the old-world debossed look that the letterpress stamps in the the seed paper. A couple of months later we see the photo below come through. We love seeing our paper grow even more than we like to look at it and touch it.

Clorox – Where the Grass is Cleaner & Greener

Here is a cool project we recently did for Clorox. We produced 120,000 pieces in less than 3 weeks time along with everything else we do here. It’s a twist in our regular PP product (4 x 5 two-part postcard). The card was printed on Mohawk 100% recycled cardstock made with wind-energy. The green wildflower seed paper was handmade here in Boulder, Colorado. Like always, Bloomin’s paper has the highest germination rate in the industry (this paper will grow like mad!). Guaranteed!

Excellent Reviews From a Happy Customer

It’s always such a pleasure to receive praise from a happy, satisfied customer. Since we’re in the business to please our customers with our amazing plantable seed paper products—receiving such praise is nothing short of elation.

Upon receiving their business cards printed directly onto our handmade seed paper, they immediately planted the card and watched with admiration as the paper started sprouting after a few short days. We’re so pleased with their satisfaction and would like to say thank you for your business!

Take a look at the pic they sent us.

Cheers for Cheerios

Check out a recent seed paper coaster for General Mills which was inserted into each box of Cheerios. We’re very excited to share this amazing product with you. The order was over 100,000+ seed paper coasters to be inserted into each and every box of Cheerios. 

It was a successful eco-product for the popular Cheerios brand cereal—and for Bloomin’ Promotions, as well. Here are a few pictures of the box itself and  how it looked on the supermarket shelves.

We’re coming soon, we promise!

Thanks for visiting our blog. For now, we haven’t gotten anything up and running as of yet, but I promise, we will. Stay tuned.
