Looking for a clothing tag that does more than carry a price and barcode? Plantable seed paper garment tags turn a routine packaging element into a memorable eco-experience. Made from recycled paper embedded with live seeds, these tags can be planted after purchase—reducing waste and letting your customer grow herbs or flowers from your brand story.

What is a plantable garment tag?

A plantable tag is a thick, textured paper infused with non-GMO seeds. After the customer removes the tag, they soak, sow, and water it. Within days, the paper composts naturally and the seeds sprout. It’s a small act with a big message: your brand cares about the planet long after the sale.

Why apparel brands love it

  • Closes the loop: Replaces plastic or laminated tags with a compostable alternative.

  • Elevates unboxing: The “plant me” message turns a disposable tag into a keepsake activity.

  • Drives engagement: Add a QR code to link sizing guides, care instructions, a planting video, or your sustainability page.

  • Storytelling built-in: Share how your fabric, dyes, and packaging reduce impact—right on the tag.

  • Ideal for launches & collabs: Limited editions, eco lines, corporate tees, event merch, uniforms, kidswear.

Customization options (we tailor to your brand)

  • Sizes & shapes: Classic rectangles (e.g., 2x4 in, 2.5x3.5 in), circles, rounded corners, die-cut silhouettes (leaf, tee, logo mark).

  • Print: Single or multi-colour CMYK with soy/eco inks; both sides printable for planting steps + brand story.

  • Hardware: Jute twine, recycled cotton cord, or kraft string; optional metal eyelet.

  • Data: Barcodes, QR codes, variable SKUs, batch numbers.

  • Seeds: Marigold, Basil/Tulsi, Coriander, Wildflower mix, Tomato—chosen for Indian climates and easy germination.

How to use (print on the back of each tag)

  1. Soak the tag in water for 5–10 minutes.

  2. Place on soil in a pot or garden, cover with a thin layer of soil.

  3. Keep moist and in sunlight; sprouts usually appear in 7–14 days.

  4. Grow, gift, and share your plant story!

Practical details

  • Paper & feel: Premium, tactile stock (approx. 200–300 GSM) with visible seed texture—rustic yet retail-ready.

  • Lead times: Quick sampling; scale easily for 100 to 100,000+ pieces.

  • Shelf life: Best planted within 12 months; store cool and dry.

  • Print care: Because it’s handmade seed paper, expect natural specks and slight variation—part of the charm.

Sustainability you can measure (and market)

Switching to plantable tags:

  • Cuts single-use plastic and laminates from your packaging stream.

  • Encourages customers to compost and plant, extending your product narrative into their homes.

  • Aligns with ESG goals and retail partners that prioritise low-impact packaging.

Ideas to maximise impact

  • Print care symbols plus a micro-story about your fabric (organic cotton, recycled PET blends, natural dyes).

  • Include a short URL to a planting guide in English + a regional language.

  • Bundle with seed paper thank-you cards or plantable bookmarks for premium sets.
