check out our plantable pillow boxes

so, things have really been hopping this year. we finished up with our 2.2 million piece order and was not sure where we were going to go from there. it seems that there are people and compinies all over the world that are in need of handmade paper and plantable paper! so why not help them out! because of this we have been looking for a new home for porridge papers and i think we might have found one. it is in the heart of downtown lincoln, a block from the university and next door to the childrens museum. what is so great about this space  beside location is that the papermill will be a seperate space from the letterpress studio and retial section. it is a larger and more effeciant space compared to the building we are in now. it will also allow for more retial, workshops, classes and production! stay tuned as we should have a final answer in the next week or two, and then pictures to follow. in the mean time visit plantableseedpaper.com for updated pictures and a completly new porridge papers web site to follow in the next few months!

back in october we got an order to produce 2,163,000 cards for a promotion for kraft foods. it was embedded with lettuce seeds and then attached to the inside page of a magazine. what was i thinking, how could i get it done, what would it take? looking back to an october post…..

“2,851,200 square inches upholstery foam + 1,232,000 square inches cardboard + 1,436,400 square inches pellon +
155,232 square inches felt + 92,400 square inches plywood + 200 pounds lettuce seed + 18,750 pounds recycled fiber +
countless screws, nails, bottles of glue, and trips to the hardware store = 2,000,000 plantable pieces
quite possibly the largest order in plantable paper history…booyaw acheived.”

that just about sums it up. im sure the numbers are a bit different but it was a lot of work! i was so greatful to have an amazing team of papermakers and support crew! without them it would not have happened. not only did we get it done but we did it on time! the final count was 2,237,745 pieces which equals 78,418 sheets of 19″x25″ lettuce paper.

thank you to everyone!!
