Make your own seed packets (packet templates)
15.3 years ago seed saving, seed storing
Last year I did origami seed packets last year which worked out pretty good though I only got two per sheet of paper and didn’t hold too many seeds (especially large seeds like peas) with the many types of seeds I am collecting this year I decided to try another option.
I looked online and found many templates, though I couldn’t find any with standard seed package sizes. Eventually I gave up and created my own and thought I would share.
| Small Seed Packet (2.75” X 3.00”) | 4 packets per sheet | pdf doc docx |
| Typical Seed Packet (3.00” X 3.75”) | 2 packets per sheet | pdf doc docx |
| XLarge Seed Packet (4.50” X 5.25”) | 1 packets per sheet | pdf doc docx |
Basic idea is pretty simple, just print them out and glue the flaps on the inside. I used a plain old grade school glue stick which worked out great. Not only does this work great for new seeds collected, but I also used them to reduce much of the space my large seed packets were taking for a small number of very small seeds.

That is a great idea! I've also seen packets that you can add a photograph of the plant or veggie.

That reminds me I left the back blank so my kids could draw pictures of the flowers or veggies they were saving as well

Personally, I use a piece of paper that folds the seeds in then folds in on itself with no glue or tape. Yours is a great template. I should have put the plant info on them like yours. Thanks for uploading them.

I know I am late finding this post, but I wanted you to know that I really appreciate the seed packet templates. I am going to a seed swap in November, and I was wondering how to package the seeds. Now I'm all set!Thanks!Amy
