Eventgroove event badges are available in all kinds of materials. Paper event badges are printed on 100lb cover stock, with either a matte or gloss finish. We also offer a heavier card stock at 130lb, a 30mil plastic material, or a 16mil synthetic stock. Plastic and synthetic badges are by custom order only.
Economy paper event badges are subject to wear just like any paper product, but the vinyl pouch will protect the badge from damage or wear while in use. Heavy-duty card-stock badges are sturdy enough in which to punch a lanyard slot. Synthetic badges are waterproof and will not tear—they're printed on durable, premium, heavyweight 16 mil synthetic stock. Paper or card-stock badges are better suited for short events. However, if you want your badges to last for several days, plastic or synthetic is the better choice.
