Not Your Average Paper Pushers …

Terra Tag is an Australian business producing eco friendly name badges for events using plantable seed paper and recycled paper as a plastic free alternative to traditional conference badges and lanyards. We work with corporate events, conferences, and government and research institutions across Australia, delivering an all in one badge system that is ordered to match the guest list, assembled for you, and designed to reduce waste without adding complexity.

Our sustainable name badges replace single use plastic with biodegradable and plantable materials, helping event organisers reduce landfill waste and event related emissions while still running polished, professional events. To date, Terra Tag has helped prevent more than 2.4 tonnes of CO₂ emissions and diverted approximately 500 kilograms of plastic from landfill through zero waste name badge solutions for Australian events.

At Terra Tag, sustainability is not an afterthought. We handcraft our products in Australia using rescued paper and seed infused pulp, transforming post event waste into something that can be planted, composted, or recycled. From plantable conference name badges to biodegradable lanyards, every product is designed to prove that sustainable event products can have impact and be practical, beautiful, and genuinely circular.

The Terra Tag Story: Thoughtful Innovation in Action

Terra Tag began with a spark of inspiration on a busy conference floor: there has to be a smarter, kinder way to do name badges. Our founder, Rhonda Sweet, spent 18 years helping businesses innovate at Bain & McKinsey, where she learned that the best innovation is thoughtful – it solves real problems with heart & creativity.
Armed with that insight & a passion for the planet, Rhonda traded in her

corporate suits for compostable paper, driven to design handmade sustainable event products in Australia that solve real problems. She set out to reinvent the ordinary name tag & transform it into something extraordinary.
In 2023, Terra Tag was born. Small batch. Big impact. Driven by creativity, community & a lot of upcycled magic.

Our Rescue Mission: How We Make Magic from Scrap

From Scraps to Sheets

We collect & “rescue” that waste paper, giving it a second chance as one of our environmentally friendly products. By hand-tearing & blending those scraps, we create a pulp that forms the base of our name tags. When you choose Terra Tag, you’re holding more than a badge, you’re holding a belief system & truly sustainable event products.

MacGyver-Upcycling

Forget shiny new factory machines. We’re big fans of innovative green event solutions. Our studio is filled with repurposed gear: old cafe blenders, paper moulds crafted from farmhouse fly screens. Even our workbenches & chairs are pre-loved finds. We’ve built Terra Tag with a DIY ethic & a lot of creativity.

Water-Smart Wonder

Traditional paper mills guzzle enormous amounts of water & energy. We work in small batches, using grey water. Each batch of Terra Tag paper uses < 15 litres of water in total (that’s 1 standard load of laundry!) Every drop counts & our process is as gentle on the planet’s resources as our green products.

Sun-Powered Drying

Queensland is blessed with sunshine, so we put it to work. On clear days, we let the sheets air-dry in the natural sun. For humid or wet days, we have a solar-heated drying cabinet that finishes the job. We’re not burning extra energy to dry them – the sun does the heavy lifting.

More Than Just Paper

We’ve built our ethos around doing right by the environment & our community. When you hold a Terra Tag name badge, you’re holding a piece of that vision in your hands. Sustainability event products aren’t an afterthought for us – as reflected in our eco policy it’s the reason we exist.

Living The 3R’s

This isn’t greenwashing. We live the 3Rs – reduce, reuse, recycle across every process. We reduce waste by salvaging materials & optimising our process. We always think about what a name badge can be. We’re small, but we like to think we’re mighty.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ordering Sustainable Event Products

A: We offer standard A7 & A6 badge sizes—but if you need something custom (for branding, format, or just because your boss loves big badges), we can make it work. Just ask.

A: Definitely. Our 300gsm card stock is about as sturdy as a very thick business card. It’s not waterproof (because plastic = nope), but it’ll hold strong through full-day events & even multi-day conferences. Afterward? Into the soil or recycling bin it goes.

A: Absolutely—we’re all about high-quality, full-colour custom printing. Whether you want full-bleed artwork, spot colours, or sponsor logos in all the right places, we can make it happen. Just follow our artwork guidelines & we’ll print your design on premium hand made card stock that feels as good as it looks. Each badge arrives professionally printed, personalised with guest names & ready to impress—no Sharpies or last-minute sticker hacks required.

A: Yes, that’s our bread & butter! Our custom name badges Australia are a go-to for conferences, corporate events, councils & offsites around Australia. They arrive pre-assembled, personalised & ready to wear—so there’s no last-minute lanyard-juggling or printer dramas. Just open the box & go. Our badges are one of the best ways ways to make your event more sustainable.

A: Our standard turnaround is 5 business days from artwork approval, but if you’re in a rush—don’t panic. We’re known to work miracles. Reach out early & we’ll do everything we can to fast-track your order.

A: You sure can—you don’t even need to email us. Our quote calculators (on every product page) will auto-calculate bulk discounts as you go. You can generate an instant quote, email it to yourself, or place an order directly. Procurement people love us.

A: Plastic badges can hang around for centuries—ours don’t. Terra Tags are made from paper that’s either recycled or embedded with seeds, so they break down naturally after use. They’re durable enough to survive multi-day events, print beautifully & leave a lasting impression without the environmental hangover and make your event sustainable.

A: Both—our sustainable event products are fully recyclable & compostable. Our recycled & seed paper badges break down in soil, & both can go straight into standard recycling streams. No plastic, no landfill guilt—just sustainable event products that don’t stick around for 500 years. Our badges are one of the great sustainable event ideas

A: We don’t send physical samples (seeds are precious), but you can see plenty of photos & videos of our products in action. Check out our visuals or visit us on LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube & Instagram.

A: We love our global friends—but Australia’s quarantine laws mean we can’t ship seed paper or our sustainable event products overseas. If you’re based in Australia, though—you’re in luck. We’re local, fast & friendly.

A: No. Our sustainable event products work best with our lanyards. Traditional lanyards can tear the hole due to sharp plastic or metal clips and hooks.

FAQs: Our Mission, Process & Planet Promise

A: It started with a simple question: why are we still handing out plastic name tags at sustainability conferences? From that tiny contradiction, Terra Tag was born—founded on the idea that small things (like a name badge) can make a big difference when designed with care & purpose.

A: Yep! We handmake our seed paper, upcycle our tools & print everything in our Sunshine Coast studio. No overseas fulfilment, no drop-shipping. Just real people, creating real products—with creativity, integrity & plenty of waste paper underfoot.

A: We’re not a print shop that “also does eco.” We’re an eco company that happens to be really good at papermaking & printing. Sustainability isn’t a feature here—it’s the whole foundation. From our materials to our mindset, we design for the planet first & everything else flows from there.

A: While we’re not certified B Corp (yet!), we follow strict internal policies around waste reduction, ethical sourcing & local production. Everything we make is compostable or recyclable & our footprint is as light as a feather.
