Several Papers:
At Of The Earth, we believe that a good thing should never go to waste. Why throw away perfectly good paper when it can bloom into something beautiful? All of our cotton and lotka seeded paper products are imbedded with one of several varieties of wildflower seed mix that will eventually blossom into a dazzling display of color! We are proud to offer our 100% recycled, lotka, and handmade cotton papers in both seeded and non-seeded varieties in several weights to choose from depending on your printing needs.

Our eco-friendly paper production explained.

The raw material LOTKA is the skin of daphne plant - a sapling stick of about 5 to 7 feet in height. The best quality daphne stick usually grows and exists at an altitude of 6000 to 10000 feet over the highlands of Nepal. Dashain (October) signals the beginning of Lotka collection. it is harvested like the sugar-cane stick by cutting it on the stem, about 5cm (2 inches) above ground level. The plant then naturally starts the regeneration process and begins to grow a new plant. The daphne stick if not extracted from the forest in its ideal maturity fades, dries up and decays within a couple of months due to heavy rains and high heat. Thus, by harvesting the daphne stick, neither the forest is destroyed nor is there harm to the environment.

The Lotka skin layer is set apart from the main daphne stick and the remaining naked stick is dried in the hot sun for a few days and used for fueling the production plant. No part is left to waste. After the collection of it, the Lotka tapes are tied up into small bundles and soaked in water for at least 4 to 5 hours to soften the skin. It is then process by hand to create a Lotka pulp. Lotka pulp is then poured into a frame and placed in the sun for drying. The drying time of the paper depends upon its thickness and surface temperature. It takes about 1 to 2 hours in an average Autumn/Winter sun to dry. Paper sheets are then removed from the frames and placed in the factory for storage or further manufacturing into items such as boxes, cards, envelopes, and stationery.

Why Print Green?

1. To reduce carbon output in printing production by being environmentally responsible and making good choices for the planet. If using our handmade seed papers you actually reverse your carbon footprint.

2. We choose companies that have green printing standards. Such as chemical free inks, recycling of all recyclables, and solar or hydro power.

Please support our drive for a “greener” tomorrow.

Print Specs for Image and Type on Handmade paper

Here’s a list of things to help the image and type.

1. When ever possible use InDesign or illustrator to create files. We can then go in and adjust everything to make it print better.

2. Use a font that has less drop-off to begin with

3. When every possible use 100% black or dark colors for the font.

4. Printing type in 4 color on this stock will always be a trick, so the more cyan and black in the color build for the type is a plus.

5. Don’t screen type.

6. Try to use images that are light or with small amount of coverage – design with the stock in mind.
