What it does

  • Wraps newspaper into seedling pots so you save money on plastic containers
  • Grip-friendly design lets you make pots quickly and comfortably, one after another
  • Biodegradable pots go straight into soil with your plants, so no transplant shock happens
  • Customizable design means you can adjust pot size and depth to fit your needs
  • Made from the US and ready to use right out of the box

Start your seeds in pots that disappear. This 3D-printed tool turns black and white newspaper into sturdy seedling containers in minutes. Your plants grow in them, then you plant the whole thing in the ground. No plastic waste, no root damage.

Here's how it works: cut a newspaper strip about hand-width. Wrap it around the larger cylinder part. Fold the ends in, press it into the cap, and slide out your new pot. The simple grip handles make the job feel natural.

Black and white newspaper is safe for seedlings and fully breaks down in soil. Colored inks can hold toxins, so stick with natural black.
