Stop Losing Your Best Blooms to "The Brown."

There is nothing more heartbreaking than opening your flower press after three weeks of waiting, only to find your vibrant orange poppies have turned muddy, or your crisp whites have gone yellow.

If you’ve been using standard cardstock, paper towels, printer paper or watercolor paper, your tools are working against you.

The Secret to "Silica-Gel" Color in a Traditional Press

Most artists believe that to get professional color retention, they have to use silica gel beads. This is great for preserving flowers for shadow box and resin artwork.

The method with silica gel beads is messy and costly and loses the flat, delicate aesthetic of a pressed bloom.

I spent years searching for a middle ground. I wanted the process of traditional pressing with the results of silica gel.

After collaborating with a specialized global supplier, we finally found a solution.

This isn't your average craft-store paper—this is a high-density, ultra-absorbent technical paper designed specifically for rapid moisture wicking.

Why Orchid & Pine Vivid Press Paper is Different:

Rapid-Wick Technology: It pulls moisture away from the petal surface instantly, "locking in" the pigment before oxidation (browning) can begin.
Zero-Texture Finish: Unlike paper towels or cheap blotting sheets, our paper is ultra-smooth. No more "quilted" patterns or ridges on your delicate petals.
The "Paper Press" Density: It’s thick enough to hold significant moisture from "juicy" flowers (like Dahlias or Ranunculus) but thin enough to allow for maximum pressure in your press. And for thinner blooms, there's no need for extra cardboard or chipboard sheets.
Exclusively Sourced: This paper is not available on Amazon or in US craft stores. We’ve imported it specifically for the serious floral artist who is ready to move past the "hobbyist" results.

What’s Included:

5 B5 sheets per pack (approximately 7.2" x 10.1")
Reusable: With proper care and drying between uses, these sheets are designed to last for dozens of pressings.
No wash method - You can recharge your sheet gently in the sun or microwave, but do not wash as they will lose their efficacy.

I use this exact paper for every single monogram and custom piece in my studio. It is the single biggest reason I was able to stop "experimenting" and start creating gallery-quality art.
