The FSC-Certified Kraft Paper Gift Box with Seed-Embedded Hang Tag represents the next generation of sustainable packaging — where every element tells an environmental story.

The signature feature is a plantable seed-embedded hang tag — after unboxing, your customer plants the tag and grows wildflowers, transforming packaging waste into living beauty. ISO 9001:2015 quality systems and FSC Chain-of-Custody certification ensure every box meets rigorous environmental and manufacturing standards.

Sustainability & Compliance

FAQ

Q: What seeds are in the plantable hang tag?

A: Our standard seed mix contains wildflowers (poppy, daisy, snapdragon, and black-eyed Susan). Custom seed mixes — including herbs (basil, chamomile) and tree seeds — are available for orders above 3,000 units. Seeds are non-GMO and selected for broad climate compatibility.

Q: Can the box be printed with my brand logo in color on kraft?

A: Yes. Soy-based inks print beautifully on kraft board, producing a natural, organic aesthetic. We offer 1-4 color offset printing and spot Pantone colors. For a premium contrast, copper or gold foil stamping on kraft creates a striking eco-luxury look.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity?

A: MOQ is 500 units for standard kraft box designs. For boxes with seed tags or foil stamping, MOQ is 1,000 units. Sample turnaround is 5-7 days with free pre-production samples.

Q: Is the entire box biodegradable?

A: Yes. The recycled kraft board, soy-based ink, water-based adhesive, and jute twine handle are all biodegradable. If the box includes a PLA window, it is industrially compostable (EN 13432 certified). The seed tag is designed to be planted, not discarded. The complete box (minus any foil stamping) can be home-composted.

Q: How does the seed tag work — will it actually grow?

A: The seed paper is made from post-consumer recycled paper embedded with live seeds. To plant: soak the tag in water overnight, place on soil in a pot or garden, cover with a thin layer of soil, and water regularly. Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days. We test each batch lot for ≥80% germination rate before production use.
