Flexible packaging
Custom Seed Packets
Custom seed packets are small printed pouches that hold garden, flower, vegetable or herb seeds with growing instructions on the back. Flexible seed pouches protect seeds from moisture and handling better than plain paper, and can be resealed after opening. Cubit makes them as flat 3-side seal pouches and small zipper pouches in foil, kraft laminate or clear film.
Also called: seed pouches, seed packaging, seed bags, printed seed packets, seed packet pouches, promotional seed packets.

Why seeds benefit from barrier pouches
Seeds stay viable longest when they are kept dry. Paper envelopes let humidity through, while laminated pouches block moisture, survive handling in stores and the mail, and can be resealed so leftover seeds keep for next season. Foil pouches give the highest protection; kraft laminates keep a natural garden look.
Seed packet styles
Seed companies usually choose from:
- Flat 3-side seal pouches: the classic seed packet shape, heat sealed after filling.
- Small zipper pouches: resealable packets for larger seed counts.
- Kraft paper laminate pouches: a natural look with a barrier inside.
- Clear-front pouches: show larger seeds such as beans and sunflowers.
- Hang hole packets: for garden center racks.
Who buys custom seed packets
Seed companies and growers, garden centers selling their own lines, heirloom and specialty seed brands, and businesses using seed packets as promotional giveaways, wedding favors or event gifts.
Wholesale and bulk seed packets
Seed companies print one packet design per variety, so seed packets are ordered in bulk across dozens of designs on the same packet size. Buying custom seed packets wholesale keeps every variety in a matching format, and the price per packet falls as volumes rise.
