Beautiful packets of seeds made of aged paper

A friend of mine makes amazing seed bags from distressed paper. I asked her to show how she does it and filmed her master class on making such bags. And also, I wanted to invite you to see how else you can make beautiful seed bags in other ways. In this article you will find 3 ways to make paper bags yourself and a video with a master class from Karina at the end of the article.

Own seeds have always been considered much more reliable than seeds purchased on store shelves. If all storage conditions are met and the seeds are collected according to the rules, then the seeds often germinate better, and the plants will sprout exactly the same color as planned.

Seeds are collected according to their state of maturity; the most important thing is not to look at this point in time. In most annual flowers, the seeds ripen unevenly and are then blown away by the wind. But there are some tricks here.

You need to make bags from thin non-woven fabric, put them on the inflorescences and pull the bags from below not very tightly. This technique will isolate and preserve the excellent first seeds. It is better to immediately collect seeds that are not blown so much by the wind into paper envelope bags.

I really want to store seeds not only correctly, but also beautifully.

These paper bags are very easy to make with your own hands.

Seeds are a natural product that should be stored only in high-quality packaging. Packaging that is not environmentally friendly will not keep the seeds in proper condition. When planting, you simply will not see the desired result. The harvest will be poor, if at all.

The demand for vegetables is constantly growing, and at the same time the requirements for products are growing. Nobody wants to buy a product stuffed with various additives that destroy the taste of a natural vegetable.

The variety of seeds is quite large. The choice is huge. But how do you choose what you need from the many? First of all, you should take into account the manufacturer, seed packaging and expiration date.
What kind of packaging should be used for seeds?
There are an awful lot of packages for seeds! When buying seeds, the first thing you pay attention to is the packaging. Marketers spend months studying consumer tastes. They are trying to create such a design that it is impossible to walk through and not buy the product. But is this very design really important?
Regular paper packaging for seeds, can retain their contents for no more than 1 year. They are quite cheap and at the same time very environmentally friendly - no chemicals: just familiar paper. Double packaging for seeds, made using airtight materials, is more expensive, but the seeds can be stored for more than 3 years. To give packages a more attractive appearance, high pressure varnishing is used.
It does not spoil or overpress paper sheets. A glossy or matte water-dispersed varnish is applied to the material. Another varnish is also applied to seed packages - UV. It is used to give gloss to names and to make packaging look attractive. Seeds must be kept in sealed and airtight conditions.
Note! High-quality packaging should always have detailed information about its contents and about the manufacturer, as, for example, on products from the Agro-Pak company:

1. address, telephone number and name of the organization that sells seeds;
2. the name of the seeds must be exactly as in the register;
3. the standard for sowing and varietal qualities must be specified;
4. batch number;
5. weight or number of seeds in the package;
6. date of manufacture;
7. recommendations for growing.

What should seed bags be like?
Seed packets must carefully preserve their intricate contents. Therefore, they must be not only environmentally friendly, but also quite durable. For paper versions, this means that the paper must be thick enough. An additional advantage is that the bags are made quite quickly. Under the lamps, the varnish dries almost instantly: in one or two seconds.
A reliable manufacturer always pays attention to reliable gluing of the package. The size of the bags depends on the number of seeds. They can be from 70x105 mm to 105x168 mm. If the bags have a hole, then the dimensions will be as follows - from 74x113 mm + hole to 105x160 mm + hole. The production of seed packaging is the main activity of the Agro-Pak company. We can produce cheaper ones or expensive options, it all depends on the wishes of the customer.

Manufacturing of packaging: paper bags for seeds

Our printing house produces paper bags for seeds with custom printing for vegetables, grains, flowers, berries and other types of plants.

We offer several types varnish coating: varnish can be water-dispersed or ultraviolet, applied selectively or completely covering the surface of the paper bag.

Paper bags are made using two technologies: coated or laminated paper. The first technology involves applying offset printing to sheets of thick coated paper, then the paper is cut, and bags with a characteristic flap, such as is found on envelopes, are manually formed from it. Packaging of bags is done manually or using a special machine.

The second technology that our technology uses is the production of bags from laminated paper onto which an image is applied. Such paper is contained in the form of rolls, which are installed in special filling machines, which themselves pack and pack the seeds into colorful bags.

The main advantages of this technology are significant savings in labor costs, as well as high tightness of laminated paper bags and protection from moisture, which ensures long-term storage of seeds.
