Pencils in their own yellow.
DOKA is a construction-industry company with one colour everyone in it recognises. We finished plantable pencils and seed-paper stationery in that yellow, and paired them with a coir pot, so nobody had to be told what the pencil was for.

The pot is the instruction.
A plantable pencil on its own is a pencil. Most people never find out about the seed. Put a coir pot next to it and the question answers itself before anyone reads a card.
The yellow did the rest. On a site, in a yard, on a desk, a DOKA pencil is a DOKA pencil from across the room.
Everyone at DOKA loved their concepts of plantable stationery.

What we made.
Pencils dipped and printed in the brand's yellow, a kraft tube, seed-paper stationery, and the pot.
