Sorting

  • Badges are packed in order of your guest list to speed up check in and eliminate stress on event day

QR code

  • A discreet QR code is printed on the back of every badge as standard. It links to simple planting and recycling instructions, so guests know exactly what to do once the event is over and your sustainability values do not go unnoticed. The QR code can be removed on request prior to production.

Packaging

  • Orders are packed using recycled or reused boxes and recycled paper wrap. All components are fully recyclable

Many so called eco badges still include hidden plastics, laminates or resin coatings that cannot be recycled or composted. Seed paper is different. It is fully biodegradable and plantable, leaving no trace of plastic after your event.

Seed paper badges break down naturally or grow into herbs or flowers, offering a visible, memorable sustainability gesture that attendees appreciate. This makes them ideal for events where environmental values matter and where guests expect more than a token eco claim.

To understand why this matters at scale, we’ve broken down the impact of conference name tags across Australian events, including the carbon and plastic footprint created by traditional badge components.

Traditional plastic badge components contribute significantly to Australia’s waste problem, as highlighted in the Australian Government’s National Greenhouse Accounts factors. Choosing seed paper name badges reduces event waste in a way that is credible, measurable and easy to communicate to stakeholders.

Managing deadlines is easier when your name badges follow a clear, predictable schedule. We set your production milestones based on your event date and build in a second print run to capture late registrations or last minute edits, protecting your team from handwriting badges on the day.

TWO PRODUCTION RUNS

  • You receive clear deadlines for each run
  • The first run begins once artwork is approved and the main guest list is received
  • The second run captures late registrations or edits, ensuring accurate badges and a smooth check-in process

Our seed paper name badges print beautifully with bold fonts, strong colour contrast and clear logos. Handmade textured stock creates a natural, tactile finish, but intricate fine lines or very thin fonts can lose clarity at small sizes. We will provide a proof and guide you through layout, colours and spacing so your badges look sharp, readable and aligned with your brand.

Design your badges your way with guest names, logos, brand colours and optional QR codes. ABN and GST information is included in every quote to keep procurement approval simple.

What Clients Say …

  • 🌿 Terra Tags were a hit at the ZAA Conference in Darwin! We were thrilled with how they looked and how well they fit the theme of ‘Towards 2050’. Even better—our order helped save approximately 17.71 kg of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere. Our guests and staff loved the tags, and they sparked great conversations. If you’re planning an event and want to make a positive impact, Terra Tags are a fantastic option.

  • A great Australian innovative business. We had such good feedback from conference attendees in 2024, we decided to use Terra Tag again. Their communication and ordering is seamless and easy. Not only do the name badges look bespoke and awesome, we saw their supply as a great way to reduce our carbon footprint for our conference.

  • Ordering was really easy and we received our name tags quickly. We used the name tags for our annual conference and they were still in good condition after two days. They looked very professional and being environmentally was well received by the team. We will definitely be ordering from Terra Tags for our conference next year!

  • Terra Tag created the most beautiful hand crafted name badges for our recent conference. The name badges were widely commented on. They set the tone in terms of our care for the little details and said so much about our business and its values. Most people took their name badges home. I can’t recommend Terra Tag highly enough.

FAQs About Our Plantable Seed Paper Name Badges
(Australia Only)

No. Most traditional lanyards use metal or sharp plastic clips that can tear the holes in seed paper name badges. We recommend our biodegradable cotton lanyards – they’re soft, durable and designed to work with thicker, plantable name badges. Unlike synthetic lanyards that can sit in landfill for hundreds of years, ours are fully biodegradable and compostable.

They are. Our seed paper name badges are made for Aussie soil, recycling and compost bins – no weird additives or imported seeds. After the event, soak the badge overnight, plant it under a thin layer of soil and keep it moist. In time, herbs or wildflowers will sprout. No waste. No landfill. No environmental impact of conference name tags. Just life after the name tag.

They really grow. Our seed paper is handmade from rescued paper and embedded with real, untreated, non-GMO seeds that thrive in Australian conditions. These are more than feel-good eco plantable conference badges – they’re designed to germinate. We test every batch and use fresh, local seed mixes that are bee-friendly and soil-safe, so there’s no greenwashing. Learn how to plant seed paper here.

Yes. We offer curated seed mixes that work across most Australian climates:
– Herb Mix: Oregano, Parsley, Thyme – great for balconies or kitchen gardens
– Flower Mix: Swan River Daisy, Alyssum, Forget-Me-Not – loved by native bees and pollinators
If you’d like to customise the mix for your plantable name tags, just ask – we’re happy to discuss option

Yes. Our seed paper name badges are 300gsm – thicker than an average postcard – and designed to last through 1–2 day events without needing a plastic badge holder. They feel luxe in the hand, sit flat on lanyards and look sharp when printed.

Yes – with a little care. Our seed paper name badges are made from sturdy 300gsm card and hold up well for 1–2 day outdoor events. They’re not laminated or waterproof, so heavy rain can soften the paper. If wet weather is forecast, we suggest storing badges under cover or using simple badge wallets.

Yes. Guest lists are never final, and we design around that. We offer a two-stage print option: your main batch of name badges is printed first, and we run a second batch closer to the event for late registrations or name changes. Less stress, more breathing room.

You bet. We specialise in full-colour custom artwork for seed paper name tags – including logos, sponsor branding, illustrations and QR codes. Many clients use QR codes to link to event apps, programs, planting instructions (we created this for you) or post-event surveys. You can supply finished artwork (see our artwork guidelines), use our free templates or ask for help with design.

We also have design guides that will give you inspiration and best practices for creating your name tag artwork:

Definitely. Almost every client adds QR codes to their seed paper name badges – usually linking to event apps, agendas, maps or feedback forms. QR codes print clearly on our plantable conference badges and can appear on the front, back or both sides depending on your layout.

Yes. Eco doesn’t have to look rustic. Our seed paper name badges are professionally printed on smooth, handmade stock with clean edges and rich colour. They’re used at sustainability summits, leadership offsites, research conferences and luxury corporate events – by organisations that want biodegradable event badges to reflect their values, not compromise them.

For internal teams, reusable name tags can work well. For conferences and large events with changing guest lists, plantable seed paper name badges are usually a better fit. They remove the admin of collecting and storing tags, reduce plastic waste and give guests something memorable they can plant after the event.

Absolutely. We deliver to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Adelaide & everywhere in between. Standard and express options are available, so you can match delivery to your event date and internal approvals.

For the best germination, we recommend planting your seed paper within 12 months. Stored in cool, dark, dry conditions, the seeds usually remain viable for up to 24 months. The paper itself is fully compostable, so it won’t “expire”, but fresher seeds always perform better.

We estimate CO₂ savings by comparing your order to traditional plastic badges and lanyards. Using the typical weight of plastic name badge sets and industry-standard emissions factors, we calculate the carbon that would have been produced. Your order then receives a unique, event-specific CO₂ savings figure ready for ESG reporting.

Plantable badges reduce single-use plastic, which is a major contributor to event waste according to the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
