ABOUT BLOOMIN’

Who is Bloomin’... Bloomin’ Promotions™ is a small family owned and operated company located in Boulder, Colorado. We started business as a greeting card company in 1995. In the beginning, we blended recycled paper in a blender in the backyard chicken coupe of founder, Tom Noyes. Don Martin was hired early on as an artist but with his extensive history in the greeting card industry, he quickly took the helm as the leader of our company. With out-of-control spending, Sue Swanson took over as our chief financial officer.

Within a year, we were forced to leave our digs in the neighborhood, to seek a more traditional manufacturing location. After several years of fast growth in the greeting card industry, we realized our greater calling was in the promotional/advertising industry, although we still have a healthy stronghold in the retail environment and stationery/invitation business.

Over the years, we have enjoyed employing “differently-abled” individuals from the Boulder community. Norman Tankersley is one of our longest standing employees, having worked with us for over 12 years. He plays a vital role in the production process of many products. Happy to be a part of our team, Norm greets each of us everyday with a bear-hug and a smile. We also enjoy the opportunity to work closely with the Watshop and Boulder County Enterprises, who also actively support the inclusion of individuals with disabilities within our community.

When you want it to grow... Accept no imitations! Since 1995, Bloomin’ Promotions has affectionately become known around the globe simply as “The Seeded Paper People”. Packed with handfuls of the highest quality seeds, your project will get results!

Our paper comes from 100% post-industrial paper! When planted and watered, the paper biodegrades into mulch and the seeds are left to germinate into a garden of growth. Independent seed testing labs and scores of satisfied customers confirm what people have been saying for years, “these things really grow!”

When quality matters... In addition to our professional seed paper manufacturing team, our art department and design staff turns your ideas and artwork into award winning promotional masterpieces. From papermaking, layout, printing, die-cutting, and assembly, no detail is overlooked. Bloomin’ Promotions owns and operates state of the art alongside old-world printing and die-cutting technology to ensure the brightest colors, and highest quality product. Our refined papermaking process and procedures guarantee our high germination standards are upheld and that “no seed is left behind”.

When you’re on a budget, but want it done right... Flat and light, Bloomin’ Promotions remains an affordable and unique solution to many of your marketing initiatives. Explore the options. We know you’ll find our pricing and product quality is unmatched by any other seed related promotion. Our courteous and knowledgeable staff is always available to walk you through the options to ensure each promotion meets your expectations, budget, and time frame. We’ll get it done right and on time.

When you need to start small... we’re here to help. We know large gardens start from small seeds. This is why we offer low minimums - just 100 pieces gets you started.

Custom Seeded Paper Shapes Toyota asked us to create a unique shape for their upcoming advertising campaign. What better way to showcase this than with a custom die-cut shape of a car? It spoke to the public about their commitment to the environment and it was a wonderful keepsake, as well.

Toshiba wanted to promote their green recycled computer technology and to let the public know that they offered a free electronic recycling program. What better way to showcase this than to have a seeded paper in the shape of a laptop computer. It was a success!

Custom Seeded Paper Letterpress Shapes Nothing beats the look of letterpress printing. As you can see from the custom shapes below, with letterpress printing, you have the option of printing on any color seeded paper you choose! For best results, use dark inks on light paper.

PRINTING ON SEED PAPER: There are limitations as to what we can print on the seed paper.

• Less is more: Keep your ink coverage to a minimum. Let the seed paper be the hero; don’t cover it with ink.

• Use thin lined fonts wherever possible, maybe make the text a percentage of black instead of black.

• Avoid large solids and make any solids as light as possible.

SEED MIX: • Our paper is packed with seeds! The more seeds, the more flowers.

Typically we include a hearty mix of annual and perennial wildflower seeds that is sure to grow across all growing regions (just follow the directions for planting). Custom mixes are also available including forget-me-not, petunia, zinnia, marigold, blue spruce, kentucky blue grass, herbs, peppers, vegetables and others. Subject to possible up-charges and minimums.

LETTERPRESS PRINTING: Bloomin’ owns and operates several vintage letterpress machines that can give your project an old world nostalgic debossed look. They are typically printed in one or two colors, one sheet at a time. Letterpress printing offers a stamped look and feel that is much less detail oriented than offset or inkjet printing. It does reiterate the hand-crafted look and feel and does not significantly decrease the germination rates.

Letterpress printing can also accommodate your requests for specific seeds that might be larger than what we like to print on our inkjet system (tree, herb, vegetables, etc.)

STOCK SEEDED PAPER COLORS: • We offer bright and bold seed paper in 18 different colors. When printing directly on our seed paper, we use a smooth white seed paper. Custom colors are available but subject to minimum quantity requirements. See page 21 for information.

• Letterpress printing requires one plate charge per color, per side.

• Plate pricing depends on several factors—please contact us for details of your specific order.

• We charge $45 per PMS Pantone color use.
