New from supplier of umbrellas and home, garden and pet branded products Oakthrift Corp is Plant-It, a seeded paper/card made in a special process which impregnates the card with wild flower seeds. When planted, each hand made seed paper sheet acts like mulch to retain moisture for the seeds. When the consumer has finished with the card they simply plant it indoors or outside following the simple instructions included and, it is claimed, it will grow into beautiful flowers.
Chief executive of Oakthrift Lloyd Freedman states: "The Plant-It is made from 100 per cent recycled paper, soy based inks, and organic pigments which grow into flowers when planted. The product has been extremely successful in the US and I have no doubt we will emulate the success in the UK."
Now, he suggests, organisations can be at the forefront of environmental responsibility and send out corporate cards, literature, bookmarks or flyers which demonstrate their ‘green credentials’. The paper can be cut or moulded in any shape and a wide selection of greetings cards is also available.
