Badges made of paper and nothing else. No lamination, no plastic layer, printed in full colour on both sides, and recycled in any paper bin when the event ends.
Plastic-free
100% paper, no plastic film.
Any paper bin
No separating, no special stream.
3–4 day production
Depending on quantity.
From 50 units
Durable Paper from 100, no large minimums.
Two plastic-free paper badges
Same print quality, same personalisation, same recycling story. The difference is how long they need to last.
Classic Paper Badges
Strong 300+ gsm paper with a smooth, natural surface. Made for one-day events: seminars, meetups, and high-volume expos where the badge works a full day and retires to the paper bin.
From €0.85 / badge at volume · Production 3 days

Durable Paper Badges
Two layers of thick paper bonded to 500+ gsm and 0.7 mm. Tear-resistant enough for a 2-4 day conference, and still 100% paper, so it recycles exactly like the classic.
From €1.45 / badge at volume · Production 4 days

Which badge fits your event?
One-day event, indoors
The lightest footprint and the lowest price we print at.
Classic paper →Multi-day conference or trade fair
Survives the week, recycles like an envelope.
Durable paper →Outdoors, or rain is possible
Paper isn't waterproof, and we won't pretend otherwise. Laminated Badges are water-resistant but not recyclable. That's the trade-off, stated plainly.
Laminated (the honest answer) →No hidden plastic
Plenty of "paper" badges hide a plastic film. Ours don't: there is no laminate coating, the two layers of durable paper are bonded with a starch-based glue, and the badge recycles in standard municipal paper collection.
We print with dry toner, which is removed in standard paper recycling, like any office printout.
The one place plastic appears is the parcel. Shipments are sealed with plastic tape, because DHL doesn't accept paper tape on express shipments that travel by air.

Sustainability questions
If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch.
How do attendees recycle the badges?
Any paper bin, whole. There's nothing to peel apart or separate. Put paper bins at the exits and most badges never leave the venue.
Can a multi-day event really use recyclable badges?
Yes. That's what the durable paper badge is for: two bonded layers at 500+ gsm hold up for 2-4 days of wear, and the whole badge is still paper.
What if our event is outdoors?
Paper badges handle indoor wear, not rain. For wet conditions choose Laminated Badges, which are water-resistant but not recyclable. We'd rather tell you the trade-off than sell you the wrong badge.
