Seed Packets

Custom Seed Packets & Eco Gifts Australia | Sense2

Custom seed packets are the promotional piece that keeps growing long after the event ends — a pocket-sized brand moment that becomes a windowsill of basil, a balcony of Australian natives, a verge of wildflowers. Sense2 has been briefing eco gifts for Australian agencies, councils and sustainability teams for over 30 years, with FSC-certified paper, Australian-grown seed blends and the kind of creative thinking that turns a giveaway into a story worth posting.

Best for

• Sustainability-led brand launches and ESG campaigns — Pair a plantable seeded-paper card with a wildflower packet — the message literally blooms. Works beautifully for net-zero announcements, annual sustainability reports and B Corp communications.
• Council and government community engagement — Native wildflower and bee-friendly blends resonate at verge-garden, pollinator and urban greening campaigns. Full-colour print carries council branding, safety messaging or bilingual content beautifully.
• Conference delegate packs and trade show giveaways — A seed packet weighs almost nothing, posts free, and delegates genuinely keep them — the one that lives beyond the lanyard. Pair with a seeded-paper name card for a considered first impression.
• Staff onboarding and wellbeing kits — Herb blends (basil, parsley, coriander) land perfectly in culture kits alongside a branded apron or ceramic pot. A small gesture that says the brand thinks about the home, not just the desk.
• Client Christmas and end-of-year gifting — Australian native seed packets in foil-stamped kraft feel elegant rather than worthy. The gift that arrives, gets planted, and becomes a spring reminder of the relationship.

What clients say

"We briefed Sense2 on native wildflower packets for our sustainability report launch and the team suggested plantable seeded-paper covers for the report itself. Delegates kept commenting on them all afternoon — a beautifully considered touch that matched the story we were telling." — Tessa, Head of Brand

"Our council runs a pollinator campaign every spring and Sense2 has been our partner for three seasons now. They remember our palette, suggest fresh seed blends each year and always land the packets beautifully packed and ahead of schedule." — Amara, Communications Lead

"The seeded-paper Christmas cards were the quiet stars of our end-of-year gifting — clients posted photos of them sprouting on windowsills in January. Elegant rather than worthy, which is exactly the register we wanted." — Clara, Marketing Manager

Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for custom seed packets? Most seed packet briefs start at 100-250 units. Plantable seeded-paper cards start at 100 for stock rectangles and business cards, 250 for custom shapes. Bulk rollouts scale to 50,000+ for national campaigns, with stepped pricing at 500, 1,000 and 5,000 — ask for a full stepped quote.

How long do custom seed packets take to produce and deliver? Standard lead time is 7-12 business days from artwork approval. Core formats and stock seed blends ship on 3-5 day express. Australian native seed blends take 2-3 days longer than herbs to source. Samples dispatch within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse, Australia-wide.

What seeds can I choose, and are they Australian-grown? Yes — our core range uses Australian-grown seed. Options include native wildflowers, bee-friendly and pollinator blends, culinary herbs (basil, parsley, coriander, chives), sunflowers, poppies, forget-me-nots and tomato. For council and environmental briefs we can also source region-specific native blends on request.

What branding and print methods do you offer on seed packets? Full-colour digital print is our most-briefed method on FSC kraft — edge-to-edge design, gradients and photography from 250qty. We also run 1-4 colour offset on recycled uncoated paper, foil stamping (rose gold, matte black, forest green) and plantable seeded-paper embed where the packet itself is the seed carrier.

Are the seed packets and seeded paper actually sustainable? Yes — FSC-certified kraft and recycled uncoated papers are our default substrates, with lower-ink packaging and plantable seeded paper that leaves zero waste (the packet goes in the soil). Australian-grown seed supports local growers. Sustainability done credibly, not as a marketing line — that's the standard we've held for 30 years.

Can I see a sample before I order? Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs. The weight of the paper, saturation of the print and tactile feel of seeded paper are decisions you make in the hand — never the spec sheet alone.
