Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a novelty item, in the form of a card, which term as used in the present specification includes a greeting card, postcard, label, item of stationery, pamphlet or the like which has incorporated in it a viable plant seed or seeds which can be caused to germinate when required.
  • Cards according to the present invention are formed substantially from paper and the seed is included within the structure of the card.
  • the card for example, a greeting card, can include a decoration, a printed message, or it can be written on and additionally, the card, when placed into a suitable seed raising medium which will allow the seeds to germinate, will produce seedlings.
  • the seeds may or may not be visible to the naked eye; where a card according to the invention is in the form of a label or pamphlet it may be printed with advertising and promotional material.
  • a card may optionally include a fertiliser and/or growth factors suitable for seed germination and plant growth.
  • a card according to the present invention may be made substantially from recycled paper material.
  • the present invention consists in a card comprising paper and a plurality of viable seeds in combination.
  • paper refers to any product containing paper fibres and includes cardboard, newspaper, fibre packaging and recycled paper.
  • at least one surface of the card has writing and/or decoration printed thereon.
  • the card is folded to form a greeting card.
  • the card further includes fertiliser and/or growth factors.
  • the fertiliser and/or growth factors are present as a coating on the seed.
  • the seed in the card may be fumigated so that the card is suitable for sending to other countries.
  • the present invention consists in a method of producing a card according to the first aspect of the invention, comprising:-
  • the seeds may be added either prior to forming the prepared sheet or alternatively the seeds may be sprinkled onto an already formed sheet. In the latter case, it is preferred that another paper sheet is placed on top of the paper sheet containing the seeds, such that the seeds are essentially sandwiched between two paper sheets.
  • a card according to the present invention can be prepared most simply from recycled materials such as, paper, newspaper, cardboard, fibre packaging, etc. and viable plant seed. The steps in the production of the card are as follows:-
  • Paper material is soaked in water for sufficient time to soften the paper fibres.
  • the soaked paper is blended with water to produce a paper pulp.
  • the paper pulp is filled into a sink or basin as a dilute water suspension.
  • Pulp fibres are formed into a sheet on a fine screen by passing the screen through the dilute fibre/water suspension and removing the screen from the sink and allowing the screen to drain (but not dry out) for a short period.
  • viable plant seeds can be sprinkled onto the surface of a first paper sheet (formed as above) and a second paper sheet (as above) is placed on top by inverting a sheet formed on a screen and immediately removing the screen, thereby effectively sandwiching the seeds between two paper sheets.
  • the paper sheet with seed is dried and the dried paper with seed is removed from the screen.
  • the paper/seed card can optionally be trimmed, folded, printed etc as required. It is preferred that the paper/seed card thus produced is packed so that the seed is kept fresh and is protected, such as by packaging the card in a cello wrap.
  • the card is packaged as a kit, together with a suitable envelope and instructions for germination of the seeds.
  • the card containing the seed can optionally be further processed as required, such as by folding into substantially equal sections to form a card which can be opened, or the card can have a message and/or decoration printed thereon.
  • the seed used in the manufacture of the card according to the present invention can be optionally fumigated in case the card is to be sent overseas.
  • Cards according to the invention may be manufactured in a variety of ways other than that described above. Where cards are to be manufactured on a large scale, use will be made of conventional paper making equipment modified to enable seeds to be added to the paper pulp before the drying process. Cards may be made not only by pressing seeds between sheets of wet paper as proposed above but by incorporating them between two sheets of dry paper secured together by means of a glue that does not affect the germination of the seeds. For example, a flour based glue would be suitable. Where manufacture is carried out in large sheets these are subsequently cut to size to form a card appropriate to the intended use.
  • a fertiliser and/or growth hormones can be incorporated into the card, preferably as a coating to the seed.
  • a card according to the present invention can be easily written on and sent through the mail (for example) in the same way as any greeting card.
