Something Special from Gardner Going to Santa Clara
When the New England Patriots play against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60 on February 8th in Santa Clara California, something special from Gardner will be there too. For nearly 3 decades, Seaman Paper has produced the custom-dyed confetti for the Super Bowl. This isn’t just regular paper; it’s a specially engineered tissue that is fade-resistant, bleed-resistant (so it doesn’t stain uniforms or the field), and flame-retardant. The right corner of our graphic shows a previous confetti release at a Super Bowl. Gardner Magazine has a “Deep Dive” discussing the above and the world of Seaman Paper. Listen on any device.

Seaman Paper’s cultural impact extends far beyond the NFL. The company’s work is a key ingredient in the celebrations of other high-profile clients including Disney parades, Taylor Swift concerts, the Academy Awards, and the World Series. And to add a sweet surprise, Seaman Paper is also the company that produces the iconic white paper “plumes” found inside every Hershey’s Kiss. From the roar of the crowd to a quiet moment with a piece of chocolate, Seaman Paper engineers the small details that define joy and celebration.
Seaman Paper is not just a traditional manufacturer. They make the region shine by being an innovator in sustainability with such things as Vela paper bags which are an alternative to single use poly bags that clutter e-commerce shipping and paper pallet wrap. Also note: Seaman Paper’s business model is radically people-first viewing their employees as “one big family” and their customers and suppliers as “partners”. The result: A customer retention rate of 99%.

The “Big Game” requires only about 250 to 800 pounds of paper to create its massive visual impact. To put that in perspective, Seaman Paper produces roughly 200,000 pounds of paper every single day.
