The Trail Press
A palm-sized metal flower press that clips to your pack. Pick a bloom, screw it shut, keep walking.
From trail to scrapbook in four steps.

In the press
Same flower. Two hours later.
Pressed straight away, petals keep their shape and most of their colour. Pocketed, they bruise and brown before you’re back at the car.
Trail reviews
I used to stuff flowers in my notebook and they’d be mush by camp. Now I have a little flower from every section of the trail.
The gold plate is gorgeous. People ask about it at trailheads all the time. Took about five days for my violets to dry.
Pressed a flower on each day of our Scotland trip. Each page has a little real flower next to the photos now.
We each picked a design. Clover is my favourite. Tiny but really sturdy, the screws hold everything nice and tight.
My mum walks every morning and she cried a bit when she opened it. She’s already filled half the papers.
Fits in my palm and I forget it’s on my keys. Works best with small flat flowers, so keep that in mind.
Before you buy
Small, flat-ish things work best: tiny wildflowers, single petals, clover, small leaves, fern tips and grasses. The pressing area is about the size of a matchbox. For a bigger bloom, press a single petal.
Usually 3–7 days. Thin petals are quicker, thicker blooms take longer. You can keep it clipped to your bag the whole time.
Yes. Unscrew the corners, lift out your pressed flower and add fresh papers. A refill pack of 40 papers is available at checkout.
It’s metal, so it handles knocks, rain and being thrown in a bag. The papers stay clamped flat inside.
Pick only common, plentiful flowers, one at a time, and never in national parks, nature reserves or protected areas. Fallen petals and leaves are always a great choice.
Orders ship within 1–2 business days with tracking. Most arrive within 5–10 business days.
