SEED
The Craft of Erasing.
he year was 1915. In Osaka SEED Co., Ltd. was established to manufacture and distribute to the world the erasers made from rubber.
Later in 1956 SEED was the first company to start prod ucing erasers made from plastic — mainly from PVC, later polysulfide rubber, synthetic rubber, elastomer, and other compounds. Our wellI-known "Radar” Plastic Eraser soId over the past 5o years or more still remains the hallmark of our company as well as in the industry of plastic erasers.
In 1983 SEED invented the correction tape mechanism, applying for its patented it in 1984. We are virtually proud of the pioneer of correction tapes that are one of the best- and lon gtime seller stationery and office products worldwide.
In 2002 SEED established his own factory in Hanoi-Vietnam to produce and export high quality products made under so rigid Japanese QC system at competitive prices to Japan and other countries.
Our most serious goal is to manufacture and provide all the things to erase to meet with consumers’ erasing needs. SEED is also dedicated to working with the environment by recycled products or environmentally-friendly products.
In recent time SEED is also totally committed to manufacturing other plastic producs for hobby/craft market and home use as well. At SEED we guarant e you your total satisfaction.

The Philosophy of "Kesu Monodzukuri"
At the heart of SEED is Kesu Monodzukuri—the dedicated craft of erasing. While operating at a scale that supplies the global market, SEED maintains a rigorous commitment to quality. Because the composition of an eraser is sensitive to environmental changes, production is overseen by experts who ensure every batch meets their exacting standards. This ensures that the iconic "Radar" series always delivers the smooth, reliable performance that users expect.
Quiet Innovation
SEED constantly reimagines the humble eraser through ingenious design and technology:
Clear Radar: A fully transparent eraser that lets you see exactly what you are rubbing out.
SUN Radar: Features photochromic technology that changes colour when exposed to sunlight.
Kado Loop: A revolutionary eraser that restores its sharp corners when dipped in hot water—developed from a primary school student's idea and winner of the 2026 Stationery Shop Grand Prize.
