Flower and leaf presses
Flower and leaf presses help you preserve blooms, leaves and herbs from walks and day trips. Choose from pocket models, larger wooden presses with screws and versions for quick drying in the microwave. The finished plants are perfect for a herbarium and creative craft projects.
Flower and leaf presses
Classic wooden presses consist of two boards with layers of absorbent paper and card in between. Wing nuts on bolts keep the clamping force even, and larger models also have a central spindle. Some sets include foam pads, scissors, tweezers or a storage bag.
Pocket presses start at just a few centimetres, so they fit in a rucksack or jacket and are handy on outings and walks with children. Many have an engraved design and a jute loop, and the smallest metal model doubles as a keyring. Don’t pick plants in protected areas or any protected species.
When you’re short on time, microwave presses made of plastic or bamboo, with ventilation holes and felt and fabric inserts, do the job. According to the manufacturer, plants dry in them much faster than usual. Follow the instructions when heating and let the boards cool. The finished flowers are great for cards, bookmarks and pictures, a herbarium, and resin jewellery and décor.
How we rank results
We determine the order of offers in search results and in category listings automatically, according to the rules below. No seller is given priority in the ranking, and it is not possible to pay us for a better position.
Search (default sorting “Relevance”): we show offers that match the search term, including those with a small deviation or only a partial match. Their order depends most on how popular the offer is with customers. If you have accepted cookies, the next biggest factor is which categories and offer attributes you have viewed during your current visit. It also matters how popular the offer is for that search term, how closely it matches the term and how popular its category is for that term.
Categories (default sorting “Best Sellers”): the offers that sell the most appear at the top.
Sorting by price: if you choose Price: Low to High or Price: High to Low, we sort by price including VAT only.
