Grow your brand and save the bees: plantable promotional products - Marke Creative Merchandise

Did you know that a third of the world’s food production depends on bees? This means that every third spoonful of food depends on pollination (World Bee Day Organisation). Despite their importance, wild bees are in decline – in the UK, it’s estimated that the overall abundance of pollinators has declined since the 1970s.

What can your brand do to help?

Encourage your customers to practice gardening with products you can plant! These products are embedded with wildflower seeds, which are a lifeline for wild bees and other pollinators. Discover how to promote your brand in a sustainable way with plantable promotional products.*

Seed Envelopes

High-quality seed envelopes made from wood pulp, which consists of pure cellulose fibres. Soy and vegetable ink is used for printing on 100% recycled kraft or gloss board to minimise environmental impacts. Available in a range of styles and shapes to suit any marketing campaign. Perfect for direct mail campaigns, as biodegradable business cards, attached to products and more!

Seedsticks

Encourage guerrilla gardening with your customers! Simply plant the seeded matchstick in a bare patch of earth. When seedsticks are used, you support the work of the RHS Plants for Pollinators – a campaign working to stop the decline in wild bees and other pollinators. When your customers grow wildflowers, they create new habitats and help save our bees! We can offer seedsticks in a variety of shapes and sizes and these bee-shaped seedsticks may be perfect if you’re in one of the following industries: conservation brands and supporters, honey industry and honey based products or agricultural brands.

Seedboms

Get your customers involved with guerrilla gardening with these seedboms that ‘explode’ with seeds! All you need to do is drop into a patch of untended earth – the packaging will degrade, and flowers will grow. The packaging is made from recycled paper and cardboard, compost and seeds. The paper shells retain moisture in the plants and biodegrade into the environment. This process only leaves plants behind!

Seedball Tins

These seedball tins give you an easy way to grow wildflowers. Each ball is made from a mixture of seeds, clay, peat-free compost and chilli powder, which creates a protective casing against seed predators. Simply scatter on top of soil and they’ll grow with some rain and sun! Ideal for planting in pots, window boxes and garden beds.

Seedball Matchbox

The ‘Seedball Matchbox’ is an innovative way of creating wildflowers and pollination for bees and butterflies while promoting your brand! Each matchbox contains 6 wildflower seed balls which are made from clay, compost and chilli powder, which naturally protect the wildflower seeds from predators.

Energy

"Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive. It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you."
