Seeds in a jar – a promotional gift people actually keep
Seeds in a Jar
Most promotional gifts have a short lifespan. They get used once, put in a drawer, or thrown away. Seeds in a jar are different. People put them on a desk, read the label, and wonder what will grow. That moment of curiosity is when your brand starts to do its work. At SEEDBALL FACTORY, we developed this format because we believe a good promotional gift should stick around, not just show up.
We are SEEDBALL FACTORY – your partner for plastic-free, sustainable promotional products with real impact.
SEEDBALL FACTORY was founded by Daniel Gollasch, who previously worked with environmental organizations such as BUND and spent many years as a scientific advisor in the German Bundestag.
The idea for SEEDBALL FACTORY was born in 2016 during his campaign for the Berlin House of Representatives in the Berlin-Mitte district. Instead of traditional giveaways, he handed out seed packets and seedballs – small blooming ambassadors for a better world. The response was overwhelming. Soon, colorful flowers were blooming on balconies and in front gardens all across the district – proof that sustainable promotional items leave a lasting impression.
What started as a creative idea has since grown into a well-established company with a dedicated team and satisfied clients from politics, business, and civil society.
SEEDBALL FACTORY stands for innovative and impactful products centered around seeds, nature, and sustainable communication.
Our mission: Promotional items that take root – and blossom.
Whether you need a small batch for a local community group or 100,000 units for a nationwide campaign – we’re excited to help your message grow!
Why seeds in a jar work as a branded gift
A jar is not a packet. It has presence. It sits on a surface, holds its shape, and stays visible for a long time after it was handed out. That makes seeds in a jar one of the few promotional products that do not disappear the same day.
At the same time, a jar full of seeds sends a clear signal. It is plastic-free, it is natural, and it is genuinely useful. For companies that want their communication to feel more considered and less disposable, that signal matters.
What makes seeds in a jar a strong choice:
- High perceived value – a glass jar reads as a quality product, not a throwaway item
- Long-term visibility – it stays on display, not in a bin
- Plastic-free throughout – jar, label, and packaging
- Ready to use – no gardening knowledge required
- Made in Germany – seeds and production from a single, traceable source
What is inside our seeds in a jar
Our jars are filled with high quality, certified seed mixes produced in Germany. Available varieties include bee-friendly wildflower blends, native meadow mixes, and herb seeds. All seeds are tested for germination and chosen for their reliability in central European conditions.
The label wraps around the jar and is fully printable across the entire surface. You can use your logo, a campaign image, a short message, or a QR code. If you do not have a finished print file, our design team will create one at no extra cost based on your artwork or guidelines.
