Solid, fast and of perfect quality. We had an urgent order for 500 bereavement cards. Called Saturday to ask for information and was kind + thorough and advised. Ordered Sunday night. Received proof on Monday morning. Monday evening shipment notification, package received Tuesday. The print quality is perfect, the card looks beautiful. Too beautiful to plant, perhaps… This has been a perfect experience, we are grateful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very nice and pleasant experience! The communication, order and delivery were very smooth. Super nice that you are also doing deliveries via bicycle. The cards we had printed are very nice. A small beauty flaw here and there but we are very satisfied with the result.

We are a modest team of passionate people joining forces since 2019 in the projects Groeikaart.be (Dutch-speaking region), Papierensemence.be (French-speaking region) and Growingcards.be ((inter)national projects for the business market). Our mission is to offer quality printing on seed paper – and other growth products – to Belgian and Dutch customers in the most ecological and sustainable way possible.
Here are some of the values we hold dear
We take it personally
Although almost all of our communication is digital and we sell online, there is a human organization behind it. Technology is a mere means to efficiently provide personalized service. Therefore, we also always try to respond very quickly and be available if there are any questions. Customer feedback is an important aspect in improving our organization.
Co-creation
If you are a graphic designer and want to give your authentic style an extra dimension on growing paper, join us. We have developed a special Germination Program with additional opportunities to guide you through this.
Local economy
Ghent, bustling city on the Scheldt, is our breeding ground and base of operations to the rest of Belgium and neighbouring countries. Ghent is an ideal source of inspiration for new ideas and is open to innovative circular concepts. Therefore, it is also our test market for new products we want to launch.
If the situation allows, we deliver orders ourselves in Ghent by bicycle. This not only keeps our footprint particularly low, it also keeps us in good shape 🙂
Circular - Zero waste
Our recycled paper is almost 100% circular in itself. Moreover, the paper decomposes in the ground and leaves no environmentally unfriendly residue. Our inks are water-soluble.
Printing waste and cutting scraps are reprocessed into new and fun products (such as vb confetti)
Research and Development
In our search for the “ideal product,” we pay close attention to research and development. The criteria we advocate are not minus:
- biodegradable product
- increasing biodiversity
- an economically viable product
- produce locally
We are not 100% there yet, but we continue to strive. This is another growth process in which we are expertly assisted by research centers, engineers and other experts.
Do you have any questions about this? Do you support our project and want to collaborate? If so, please do not hesitate to contact us!
