"My daughter picks something on every Sunday hike. Now it goes straight into the press on my backpack strap, and by Friday it's flat and taped into her trail journal. We have eleven flowers in there already."

Why trail flowers fall apart before you get home
A picked flower starts to wilt within minutes. In a pocket it gets crushed, in a water bottle it goes brown, and by the time you are home and find a heavy book, the petals have curled and the color is gone. Most hikers give up and take a photo instead.
Posy presses the flower right where you pick it. Two metal plates hold it flat between blotting sheets, the sheets pull the water out of the petals, and the four screws keep the edges from curling while it dries. Flat and dry is what keeps the color.
Lay the flower on a sheet, cover it with another, tighten the screws with the mini wrench and clip Posy back on your bag. Open it about a week later and the flower is ready for a journal, a frame or a card.
From the trail to your journal in four steps
1. Pick a small flower
Thin petals press best: violets, buttercups, daisies and clover. Pick it when it is dry, not wet with morning dew.
2. Lay it between two sheets
Undo the nuts, lift the top plate, put the flower flat on a blotting sheet and cover it with a second one. Found more? Stack them.
3. Tighten and keep walking
Put the top plate back and give each nut a turn with the mini wrench. Clip Posy to your bag and forget about it.
4. Open it a week later
Undo the nuts and lift the sheet. The flower is flat, dry and still has its color, ready to tape into a journal or frame.

A flower press small enough for the trail
Matchbox size
3.5 x 5 cm. It hangs from a backpack strap, a keyring or a tote and you forget it is there.
Presses on the spot
No waiting until you get home. The flower goes flat the minute you pick it, before it can wilt.
Blotting sheets included
Twenty sheets in the box soak the water out of the petals, so they dry flat instead of going brown.
Four screws, even pressure
One screw in each corner presses the whole flower evenly, so the edges stay flat.
Three designs
Clover, Dandelion or Sunflower, engraved in color on the front plate.
Made to use again
The sheets dry out and go back in. When they wear out, a refill pack has 40 more.
Two plates. Four screws. One flower at a time.
The plates
Two metal plates with a brass-tone finish. The front one carries your engraved design, the back one is plain so the press sits flat on a table.
The sheets
Scalloped blotting paper that soaks up the water from the petals. Twenty come in the box, and they can be used again once they dry.
The wrench
A 7.5 cm mini wrench to tighten the four corner nuts. Small enough to live in the same pocket as the press.

FAQs
How long does a flower take to press?
Small, thin flowers like violets, buttercups and clover are flat and dry in about 5 to 7 days. Thicker flowers like daisies take a few days more. You can leave them in until you get home and open the press whenever you are ready.
Which flowers work best?
Small flowers with thin petals: violets, pansies, buttercups, forget-me-nots, clover, small daisies and single petals from bigger flowers. Thick or juicy flowers like roses and tulips press better one petal at a time.
How big is it?
The press is 3.5 by 5 cm, about the size of a matchbox. It has a chain loop and a keyring on top, so it clips to a backpack, your keys or a tote.
Can I press more than one flower at a time?
Yes. Put each flower between its own pair of sheets and stack them. The 20 sheets in the box hold several flowers at once.
What happens when I run out of sheets?
The sheets can be used again once they dry out. When they get worn, the refill pack has 40 more.
Is it a good gift?
Most people buy it for a hiker in their life. Every order comes with a free second press, so you keep one and give one, and you can pick a different design for each press.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within 48 hours. US delivery takes 5 to 10 business days, international 7 to 14. Every order has tracking from dispatch to your door.

took the sunflower one up Mt. Sanitas on my pack. pressed three flowers on the way down and all of them came out perfect
i keep a little trail journal and this was the missing piece. the violets were completely flat after 6 days
bought the dandelion one for my mom. she's 71 and walks every morning. she teared up a little opening it
my 8 year old picks a dandelion on every walk. now we actually keep them. she does the screws herself
got the 3 pack to split with my hiking group. the engraving is really pretty in person
clipped it to my farmers market tote. smaller than i expected, in a good way
six flowers from our trip to Glacier, all pressed in this. framed them on the shelf
pressed a wild rose at camp and it was ready by the time we drove home. the sheets do all the work
got it for my girlfriend who stops for every flower. she loved it. now i stop for every flower too
the screws take a minute to get the hang of but after that it's easy. wish it came with more sheets so i added the refill
daisies take longer than violets, give them 10 days. otherwise exactly what i wanted
