Colour and print

Your screen shows colour as light; we print with toner on uncoated white paper, so printed colours differ from the screen and can vary a little from batch to batch. Our printer is built for line art and type, not for large solid blocks: big areas of dark colour can print unevenly, so the designs keep fills small and leave a 6 mm unprinted margin around the edge. These are characteristics of the product, not defects. If you need to see the real thing first, order a sample pack (five printed envelopes, $15 posted).

GST included

Prices include GST. Postage is one charge for the whole order, set by the number of packets and the same to every state; choose standard or Express Post at checkout (Express Post does not go to Western Australia). We reserve the right to revise the postage charge depending on the order size, and will contact you before anything is printed if it changes. Order by 12 pm Sydney time on a business day to count that day. Store discount codes do not apply to custom seed packets. How the packets are made (opens in a new tab).

Design help

Order custom packets on their own: a cart that also holds other seed pays postage twice.

Dispatch

We print exactly what you approve. Before anything is printed you will see the front and back of the packet at full size on screen (and as a PDF if you ask). Check spelling, names, dates, the layout and how sharp your logo looks. Once you approve the proof we cannot change it, and errors that were visible on the approved proof (typos, wrong dates, blurry images, cut-off text, colours as shown) are not a fault in the goods. Reprinting to fix an approved error is charged at the per-packet price for the reprint quantity, with no design fee.

Delivery notes, a deadline, or anything about the design you want us to check. It goes on your order.

For schools, councils and charities paying by card. To pay on invoice, ask for a quote.

About these packets

A white 90 x 145 mm envelope printed front and back with one of our finished designs and your words, with a sealed satchel of Happy Valley Seeds seed inside.

Choose the occasion and a design, add your names, date and message, pick the seed and check both sides at full size before you pay. The smallest order is 20 packets of a design.

Each price covers the printed envelope, the seed satchel, filling, sealing and GST. Postage depends on how many packets you order.

Questions about designing

Is the proof on screen exactly what you print?

Yes. The front and back you approve before you pay are drawn at the real size, 90 x 145 mm, and we print from that saved design. Colours look a little different on paper, because your screen shows colour as light and we print with toner.

When will my packets be dispatched?

The designer shows the dispatch window before you pay: 1 to 3 business days for up to 250 packets, depending on the time of year, 4 for 251 to 1,000 and 7 for 1,001 to 2,500, from your approval and payment. Orders placed before 12 pm Sydney time on a business day count from that day. Orders to Western Australia leave on the Friday after they are finished.

Can I order more than one design at once?

Yes, up to three designs, each of 20 packets or more: finish the first, add it to the cart, then start the next. For four or more designs, ask us for a quote.

Can I change the fonts and colours?

Yes. In step 3 choose a look, a matched set of fonts, spacing and colours, or set each line yourself: a font from 56 free faces, its size, line height and letter spacing, and a colour for the name, the small lines and the message from a palette tested on our printer. The proof shows exactly what you chose, and we print from that.

Can I change the picture on a design?

On most designs, yes. Under the preview, Change the picture opens a library of more than 360 drawings and paintings, sorted by mood and searchable by word. The new picture is fitted into the design's own picture space, so your words stay clear of it. Some designs are built around one picture and keep it.

Can I save my design and come back to it later?

Yes. This browser keeps your design as you go, and step 5 has Copy link, which gives you a link that opens the design exactly as you left it, on any device. Send it to someone for a second opinion, or keep it to reorder the same packets later.

What is the smallest order, and what does a packet cost?

Twenty packets of a design, and up to three designs on one order. In full colour with Standard seed a packet is $3.89 for 20 to 49, $3.49 for 50 to 99, $2.99 for 100 to 249, $2.49 for 250 to 499, $2.19 for 500 to 999 and $1.89 for 1,000 to 2,499, GST included. Black print costs less and Premium or certified organic seed a little more; the table under the quantity shows every band for your choices, and the total before you pay.

Why are there faint marks across my design on screen?

The faint Happy Valley Seeds marks over the design on screen are not printed. They are there only while the design is on screen, because the finished designs are ours and print only on packets we supply. The proof PDF carries a mark too, for the same reason. The packets themselves carry only the design and your words.

Can we put our studio logo on seed packets?

Yes. Choose a design with a logo box, upload your logo, and type your studio's name and website. With no logo, the name prints in the box. Yoga and pilates studios, gyms, dojos and retreats use them for welcome packs, end-of-term thanks and grading days. You see both sides at full size before you pay, and the smallest order is 20 packets.

Do seed packets make good gifts for gym members and students?

They are light and flat, so they fit in a welcome bag or a gym bag, and they cost less than most gifts: from $3.89 a packet, down to $1.89 at 1,000. Every packet holds a sealed satchel of our seed with how to sow it, and your words on the front. Studios hand them out at the end of a term, a challenge or a grading.
