Creating Sustainable Badges with Terra Tag

Written By Rhonda Sweet

The push towards sustainability has transformed how businesses think about their products and services. In event management and corporate branding, the demand for eco-friendly options is rising. One such innovation is the sustainable name badge, a product that not only serves a practical purpose but also aligns with environmental values. Terra Tag has been at the forefront of this movement, crafting badges that are as green as they are visually appealing.

What Is a Sustainable Name Badge or Name Tag?

A sustainable badge refers to a name or ID badge made from materials that are environmentally friendly, biodegradable, or recyclable. Unlike traditional badges, which often use plastics and other non-sustainable materials, eco-friendly badges like those from Terra Tag offer a responsible alternative. These badges are designed to reduce waste, use safe and renewable resources, and, in many cases, can be recycled or composted after use.

How Terra Tag Makes Sustainable Badges

Terra Tag is proud to offer the DIY Eco Name Badge Kit, allowing customers to create their own sustainable badges. The kit includes materials and instructions for crafting badges using eco-friendly paper—either seed-infused or recycled. Here’s a snapshot of the process:

  1. Design Your Badge: Utilise the provided templates or create a custom design.

  2. Seed or Recycled Paper? Choose between seed paper or recycled paper provided in the kit.

  3. Assemble the Badge: Follow the step-by-step instructions to cut, print, and assemble your badges.
