The Heartfelt Journey of a Terra Tag: More Than Just Eco-Friendly Name Badges

When you hold a Terra Tag name badge in your hand, you're not just holding an eco-friendly badge; you're holding a story. A story that begins with a simple act of kindness and ends with a sustainable product that makes a difference.

1. Donations from the Heart: Our journey starts with generous donations of paper from printers, government offices, schools, and businesses. These aren't just any papers; they're remnants of projects, communications, and lessons. They're pieces of someone's day, and we give them a second life.

2. Shredding to Begin Anew: These donated papers are shredded, turning them from sheets with past stories into the beginnings of something new.

3. The Pulp Transformation: With minimal water, these shreds are transformed into pulp. It's a mesmerising process, watching the paper dissolve and meld into a thick, soupy mixture.

4. Crafting the Badge: The pulp is then pulled, creating a thin layer. This layer, while still wet, is couched between cloths, setting the stage for the birth of our eco-friendly name badges.

5. Drying with Care: The wet sheets are then carefully dried, ensuring they retain their shape and strength.

6. Pressing for Perfection: Once dried, they're pressed to give them a smooth finish, making them perfect for printing.

7. Artwork with Precision: We then prep the artwork. This isn't just about getting the design right; it's about ensuring that the badge tells the story you want it to.

8. Printing and Final Touches: The badges are then printed, cut, and the corners rounded. We also add a 2-hole punch to ensure the badges don't flip, making them user-friendly.

9. Packing with Purpose: Every Terra Tag is packed with recycled materials, ensuring that even our packaging aligns with our mission.

10. Delivery with Dedication: Finally, our eco-friendly name badges are couriered to you, ready to be a part of your event, carrying with them a story of sustainability and care.

Every Terra Tag is a testament to what can be achieved when we come together for a sustainable future. It's not just about creating eco-friendly name badges; it's about making a difference, one badge at a time.
