source to purchase seed envelopes

18 years ago

I know you can print free seed envelopes, but the printer is broken. Plus all that gluing and taping.

I need an on-line source. I would like envelopes with pretty pictures on the them like the printable ones, not if not available,

then plain is ok.

also while we are taking about it, a good on-line source of small quatities of small bubble mailers, would help

thanks

I buy manila coin envelopes from Staples office supply store and I know they do on-line orders. I'm fortunate that we have one a couple miles from our home.

The envelopes come in different sizes...the smallest, which are about half the size of actual seed envelopes, work great for most seeds and for sharing seed with others. They sell them in boxes of about 250 if I remember correctly. Mine also were not self adhesive.

As far as labels...I print my own labels off the computer to put on the back side of the envelopes which helps to keep them closed should you get a batch with inadequate glue and adds a nice cosmetic touch to the finished product.

I'm sure there are a lot of other sources out there. I recommend doing a web search (Google or other). Hope this hhelps and good luck!

I like the plastic baggies. For bugs (hollyhocks, hibiscus etc.) I will throw the seeds in the freezer for a day to kill anything. I got a big paper envie of Hibiscus seeds(this also happened with Hollyhocks) I opened it up and here comes an army of baby weevils marching up to the light (and my fingers)Gross! Someone told me you can put a few grains of rice in plastic baggies to absorb excess moisture. I really like the little wax paper envies but can't find them anywhere. Anyone know where to get these?

I use the paper coin envelopes from Staples. You can't see through them but they're inexpensive and work well for me. I print address labels to attach to them, but you can also write directly on them.

When looking for seed sources the first place I go is to Tania's Tomato data base and I've linked below to the page at her site with seed sources for Ukrainian Heart. For Nicky Crain she shows only herself as a source for 2011 but sold out already. Tania has not had the time to update all the 2011 seed sources b'c so many places were late with their seed catalogs and updating their websites. Many folks have gotten both varieties from Glenn at Sandhill. IS there a problem that you've had with Sandhill in the past such that you're lookiong for another seed source? I do know that the catalogs are going out much later than before for a variety of reasons and those to the East Coast went out last Friday and Glenn asked me to let him know when I got mine. They will go out in batches across the country based on zip code. Just a wee anecdote. He said that two whole pages got messed up and knowing that I don'tlike the variety Sandpoint he told me that I'd be happy b'c it came out as Sandpit. LOL I have seeds for both but they're so old I wouldn't send them to anyone. LOL Carolyn Here is a link that might be useful: Ukrainian Heart

Seed Savers Exchange offers several types of envelopes; heat-seal foil for long-term storage, and self-sealing paper for seed swapping. The paper types come either blank, or pre-printed with generic info on many popular seeds (beans, radish, marigold, etc.). Link follows.

If you prefer similar blank envelopes, or are looking for bulk rates, you can also try Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, which carries both foil and paper in several types & quantities.

I have vintage seed envelopes in excellent condition, at least 25 years old, printed for "Allen, Sterling & Lothrop" of Falmouth Maine. I will never use them all so I'm selling them at 15 cents each envelope. They can be used for seeds or artistic endeavors (I've sold some to artists using them for mobiles and vegetable decor). Pictures can be seen at
