Greetings cards have long been a best-seller in gift shops and garden centres -charming, heartfelt, and easy to recycle. But a fresh, eco-friendly alternative is starting to steal the spotlight in the world of wholesale gifts.
Plantable seed cards are redefining the way we say “I care”. Beautifully designed and packed with potential, these cards don’t just deliver a message, they grow into something lasting. For customers who want to tread lightly on the planet, they’re the perfect feel-good option.
Seed cards are eco-friendly greetings cards made from biodegradable paper and embedded with seeds. Unlike traditional cards which go straight in the bin, these cards can be planted in the ground to grow wildflowers or herbs, so no waste is left behind. Even the envelopes they come in are made from eco-friendly and biodegradable starch packaging which eliminates waste and helps the environment.
For any gift seller looking for unusual wholesale greetings cards they’re an attractive addition to your existing range.
Looking after the environment doesn’t require grand acts or changing the world. We can all do our bit with everyday actions - sending or receiving seed cards is another way to help make our world greener.
The seeds you grow from the cards improve biodiversity by supporting local ecosystems and providing a habitat for pollinators like bees, butterflies and other wildlife. Research from the Joint Nature Conservation Committee has shown pollinator populations in the UK dropped by 24% from 1980 to 2022. Even something as simple as planting a seed card may help to slow the trend.
What’s more, seed cards are usually locally and ethically produced rather than being flown thousands of miles from far flung printers. By stocking them you not only support other local businesses but you reduce your business’s carbon footprint too.
People love greetings cards because they offer a tangible way to connect with friends and family, to celebrate those important life moments and to offer solace in times of sadness. But they also like variety. And with sustainability becoming more important than ever a seed card selection is a valuable and novel addition to your existing range.
It gives your customers more choice, enables them to still create that meaningful human connection with someone but also allows them to help the environment at the same time. What’s more they tend to sit within the premium greeting cards wholesale section so enjoy a higher profit margin than traditional cards. Seed cards are a profitable addition to your existing card range whilst simultaneously signalling a commitment to sustainability. By choosing seed cards you actively support eco-friendly practices and contribute to a greener planet.
