Why You’ll Love Them
☑️ Compostable and Low-Waste Materials
Our badges are made from sturdy, 100% recycled paper — fully recyclable and compostable. They're ideal for businesses and event planners seeking eco friendly name badges that don’t compromise on quality.
☑️ Tough Enough for Multi-Day Events:
Durable 300 GSM recycled paper means no flimsy flopping — just strong, sturdy badges that last the whole event (& then some).
☑️ High-Quality, Professional Colour:
Full or spot colour printing on single or double sides — so your branding looks sharp, not shabby.
☑️ Personalised Name Badges Your Way:
Whether you need personalised name badges for a 3-day summit or a single networking session, we’ll tailor every detail to your guest list & brand visuals.
☑️ Delivered Assembled & Ordered by Guest List
Each badge comes pre-assembled with your chosen biodegradable lanyard & sorted by your guest list for fuss-free check-ins.
☑️ Biodegradable Cotton Lanyards:
Soft, comfortable, and completely plastic-free, our cotton lanyards complement your badge setup without harming the planet.
☑️ Real Emissions Savings:
Our calculator estimates the emissions you save by ditching plastic. One recent event saved 105 kg in emissions— proof that small swaps add up.
☑️ Flexible for Real Events:
Guest list not final? We offer two production drops for latecomers.

Our eco-friendly recycled paper name tags look their best with simple, bold designs. Intricate linework & thin fonts don’t play well with handmade textures—but we’re here to help make your design shine.
Provide your artwork your way with guest names, logos, branding colours & even QR codes.

We know that event guest lists often change close to the day. That's why we offer two ways to keep your customised event badges accurate & stress-free:
Two-Batch Printing: Submit your guest list in two rounds:
Main batch within 10 days of event
Smaller batch within 5 days of event (pending delivery times to your area)
This two-batch approach makes it easy to manage custom name tags for events without stress, even if things shift close to the day.

Every one of our recycled name badges is designed to leave a lasting impression—not lasting waste.
These compostable name badges & biodegradable lanyards break down naturally & include a QR code with full recycling instructions tailored for Australian conditions.

Still Have That Voice Saying ‘Don’t Let This Go Wrong?’
You could piece it all together — badges, holders, lanyards, manual setup — but the cost and effort sneak up fast. Here’s what people usually ask before they order, and why this option makes things a whole lot simpler.
-
100%. These are handmade, visually striking badges that feel like they belong in a curated stationery set — not a supply cupboard. We print on premium 300GSM recycled card with crisp edges & vibrant colour that brings your brand to life. They're a hit at high-profile events & your guests will notice the difference.
-
They’re the real deal. Made from 100% waste paper, with no plastic coatings or lamination, they’re fully recyclable & compostable — including the ink. Since they’re seed-free, they’re compliant for events in WA, TAS & border-sensitive areas.
-
Not at all. You’re saving team time. We pre-print, pre-sort & pre-assemble if you include lanyards — so they arrive ready to go. No plastic sleeves, no fiddly components. Just open the box & hand them out.
-
We get it — changes always happen. You’ll have a clear guest name deadline & we offer a second print drop closer to your event to handle late additions. No last-minute panic required.
-
Only if you want to. You can use your internal team (we’ve got free PowerPoint & Canva templates), or lean on us — our free design service includes one concept & two rounds of changes. After that, it’s just $60/hour if you need more tweaks.
-
You bet. This is an all-in-one solution that replaces sourcing separate card stock, plastic holders, lanyards & doing assembly. Add up those component costs, freight from multiple vendors & the staff time? Terra Tag ends up being the smarter — & greener — call. We also provide you with a calculation for the Co2 emissions savings which gives you some serious eco cred.
Still with us? That says you're detail-savvy & probably the one keeping everything running behind the scenes. Scroll back up, pop your details into the quote tool & see just how easy this part can be. No mess, no extras, no stress.
Frequently Asked Questions About Recycled Name Badges & Eco-Friendly Lanyards
Q: Will these look polished enough for execs or high-profile events?
A: Absolutely. Our recycled name badges are anything but scrappy. They’re professionally printed in full colour, edge-to-edge, on smooth handmade card that feels premium. Whether you’re welcoming board members, keynote speakers, or corporate partners—they’ll be impressed.
We know presentation matters, so your branding stays sharp, your sponsor logos pop & every name badge looks cohesive, intentional & event-ready. Sustainability shouldn’t mean scruffy—& with Terra Tag, it doesn’t.
Q: Are these name badges recyclable or compostable?
A: They sure are. Each badge is made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper—so depending on your event setup, they can go in either your recycling bin or compost. No plastic, no sneaky coatings. Just clean, low-waste materials that feel as good as they look. (Bonus: they’re seed-free, so they’re also border-safe for WA & TAS events.)
Q: Can I customise these for different event types?
A: Absolutely. Whether you're hosting a corporate summit, council briefing, or casual networking night—you can customise every badge with guest names, job titles, logos, sponsor branding & even QR codes. Just send us your artwork (full bleed? Spot colour? Go wild!) & we’ll make it shine.
Q: Are the lanyards included with the badges?
A: Yes, but only if you want them! If you're reusing lanyards (nice move, eco legend), just select ‘no lanyard’ at checkout. If you’d like ours, we include soft, biodegradable cotton lanyards—pre-assembled, of course—to save you hours of fiddly setup. Either way, you’re doing the planet a solid.
Q: How durable are recycled paper name badges?
A: They’re tougher than you think. We use sturdy 300gsm stock—about the thickness of a luxe postcard—so they’ll hold strong through full-day (& even multi-day) events. They’re not waterproof like plastic, but they’ll absolutely survive the most enthusiastic, networky extrovert in the room.
Q: How long does production and delivery take?
A: We generally need 2–5 business days for production once your artwork is approved. Shipping times depend on your location, but we deliver Australia-wide, fast.
