When you think of coasters, you probably imagine cork, plastic, or cardboard—useful, but forgettable. Now imagine a coaster that not only protects your table from stains, but also turns into a plant after use. That’s exactly what a plantable coaster does.

A plantable coaster is a stylish, sustainable product made with seed-embedded plantable paper (or eco board with plantable layers). After weeks or months of use, instead of throwing it away, you can plant it in soil, water it, and watch it sprout. It’s a small product with a big message: “Use less. Waste less. Grow more.”

What is a Plantable Coaster?

A plantable coaster is a drink coaster crafted from biodegradable materials and seed paper that contains real seeds (commonly basil, marigold, tomato, coriander, spinach, wildflowers, etc.). It functions like a regular coaster—protecting surfaces from heat marks, water rings, and spills—but it has a second life.

Once you’re done using it:

  1. Tear it into small pieces

  2. Soak it for 2-3 days

  3. Place it in soil

  4. Water regularly

  5. Sprouts begin in 7–21 days (depending on seed type and conditions)

Why Plantable Coasters Are Trending

1) Sustainable Alternative to Disposable Products

Traditional paper coasters often end up in the trash after a single event. Plantable coasters reduce waste and leave a positive impact.

2) Perfect for Corporate Gifting & Branding

Plantable coasters are practical, premium-looking, and meaningful—especially when customized with:

  • Company logo

  • Event name/date

  • Brand tagline

  • QR code (optional)

Your branding stays on desks and dining tables—and the message stays in people’s minds.

3) Ideal for Events, Weddings & Return Gifts

From weddings and baby showers to eco-themed events and conferences, plantable coasters are a unique return gift that guests actually love.

4) A Conversation Starter

A coaster that becomes a plant naturally makes people curious. That curiosity becomes engagement—and engagement becomes brand recall.

Best Use Cases for Plantable Coasters

  • Corporate gifting & employee welcome kits

  • Eco-friendly event giveaways

  • Hotels, cafés & restaurants (eco-branding concept)

  • Wedding/engagement return gifts

  • School/college awareness programs

  • Festive gifting (Diwali/New Year/Annual day)

How to Use and Plant Your Coaster

To use:
Place under cups, mugs, and glasses to prevent stains and heat marks.

To plant:

  1. Tear the coaster into small pieces

  2. Soak in water for 2-3 days

  3. Place in a pot with soil (cover lightly)

  4. Water daily (keep soil moist, not flooded)

  5. Keep in indirect sunlight until sprouts appear

Why Plantable Coasters Make Great Branded Products

When branding is printed on something eco-friendly, the message becomes stronger. A plantable coaster tells your customers and employees:

  • “We care about the planet.”

  • “We choose sustainable materials.”

  • “We create gifts with meaning.”

And because coasters are used repeatedly, your brand stays visible without being pushy.


FAQ

1) Do plantable coasters really grow?
Yes, if stored properly and planted with basic care, the seeds can germinate.

2) How long can we store them?
Best used within a reasonable period (seed viability depends on storage). Keep in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.

3) Can we print our logo on it?
Yes, customization is possible—logo, text, and event branding.

4) Are they waterproof?
They handle normal coaster use, but prolonged exposure to water will soften them (since they’re plantable paper-based). That’s part of what makes them biodegradable.
