Pencils with Seeds

A pencil whose tip hides a seed capsule. Once written down to a stub it does not go in the bin but into the soil — and grows into a plant. A gift whose ending is more interesting than its beginning.

Wood or paper

The wooden graphite pencil is an ordinary pencil with a seed container instead of an eraser: it writes like any other and the engraving stays. The paper pencil is rolled from paper, available in every rainbow colour, with the seed capsule fixed to the side — more colourful and cheaper, suited to larger quantities.

Where it works

In a conference or trade fair goodie bag, in a school or university campaign, alongside an environmental message. A pencil is used for weeks — and only then comes the surprise.

Personalisation

Engraving on wood, full-colour print on paper. The capsule comes with a label and packaging; you choose the seed mix.

Why this gift is remembered

Most promotional gifts are forgotten at once. A pencil with seeds is an exception, because it has two lives: the first on the desk while writing, the second in the soil while growing. People remember the moment they put the pencil down and something began to grow — and that moment is tied to the brand.

How much writing it stands up to

The wooden pencil is an ordinary graphite pencil and lasts as long as any other. The roll of the paper pencil is strong but thinner — meant for an event and a goodie bag rather than as an everyday working tool.

Who it suits

For schools and universities, environmental campaigns, trade fair goodie bags and places where large quantities are handed out on a small budget.

Personalisation in detail

Wood takes an engraving that does not wear off and looks restrained. The paper pencil takes full-colour print over the whole surface — there you can use a photo or a pattern, not only a logo. The capsule comes with a label and small packaging with room for a short message or a QR code.

Quantity and lead time

Pencils are one of the few products in this range that can be ordered in genuinely large quantities without the price jumping. For a larger run, allow for print time and order at least a month ahead.

Can we choose the seed mix ourselves?

Yes, you choose the seed mix. That lets the pencil be tied to the theme of a campaign or a season, for example alongside an environmental message at a training session or an event.
