Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering this product

The minimum order for the GrowNote Seed Paper Notebook is 20 units. At the 50-piece tier, the price is €21.27 per unit with customization included — the highest price point in the SoMerch notebook range. Available in White. Volume tiers are available above 50 units. EU shipping is quoted separately. At €21.27@50, the GrowNote is positioned as a premium sustainable stationery item. The seed paper cover — which can be planted in soil after the notebook is used — is the product's key differentiating feature and justifies the premium over standard FSC® notebooks. The 200-page recycled paper interior adds everyday utility beyond the cover story.

Yes — the GrowNote is an A5 notebook that co-packs easily alongside a pen and other onboarding items. Production takes 8 business days and ships individually to any EU address in 2-6 business days. SoMerch warehouses stock and fulfills on demand. Include a note in the kit explaining the plantable cover — recipients may not know to plant it without prompting. The plantable cover is a conversation piece that recipients remember. For onboarding programs where the welcome kit is meant to signal the company's values, the GrowNote communicates sustainability in a tangible, interactive way. The White cover keeps the design clean; the single-color silkscreen is sufficient for a logo or wordmark on the cover.

Yes — the GrowNote's cover is made from seed paper: paper embedded with plant seeds. After the notebook is filled, the cover can be torn into pieces, placed in soil, watered, and kept in a sunny spot. The paper biodegrades as the seeds germinate. The notebook uses a wildflower seed mix by default, typically germinating within 2-4 weeks. Seed paper is a real, functional product — not a marketing claim. The paper dissolves as moisture activates the seeds. The cover must be planted rather than recycled or composted through standard channels. For onboarding kits, including a small card with planting instructions is recommended so recipients know the cover is plantable and not just decorative.

The GrowNote features a seed paper cover made from recycled paper with embedded wildflower seeds, and 200 lined pages of recycled paper interior. No third-party certifications (FSC®, PEFC) are explicitly listed on the product page. The sustainability story is rooted in the materials themselves — recycled paper content and a plantable, zero-waste cover lifecycle. For procurement teams requiring formal third-party certification, the Hard Cover Sugarcane Notebook (FSC® Mix certified) or Softcover A5 Notebook (FSC® certified) are more appropriate alternatives. The GrowNote's sustainability credentials are meaningful but are not backed by the same independent audit trail as FSC® or equivalent certification.

The GrowNote is customized by silkscreen printing in a single color, with a print area of up to 12×12 cm on the seed paper cover. Silkscreen ink is applied to the surface — the printing process does not deactivate the seeds embedded in the paper. The cover remains plantable after printing. The 12×12 cm print area is generous for an A5 notebook cover and allows for a larger logo, wordmark, or graphic than most notebook customization options in the range. Single-color silkscreen produces a clean, impactful result on the textured seed paper surface. Multi-color printing is not available on seed paper. A same-day mockup confirms scale and contrast before production.

The GrowNote is the strongest stationery choice for programs where sustainability is part of the brand message — onboarding kits for environmentally committed companies, Earth Day campaigns, or premium gifting where the recipient can interact with the product after use. The plantable cover creates a memorable moment beyond standard notebook utility. Less suited to programs where a large color palette is needed on the cover (single-color silkscreen only) or where formal third-party certification is required for procurement compliance. For those programs, the Hard Cover Sugarcane Notebook (FSC® Mix, 4 colors, lower price) is a certified alternative. The GrowNote wins on the story — choose it when the story is the point.
