Make badge and lanyard returns easy to find — and easy to manage.
Our reusable Badge & Lanyard Return Boxes create highly visible collection points for conferences, trade shows and corporate events. Position them near exits, escalators, registration areas or other high-traffic locations so attendees can return their complete lanyards, badges and badge holders before leaving.
Bold, photo-friendly and designed for busy event environments, the boxes make collection simple while creating the first step in your lanyard upcycling journey.
Available Colours
Choose from three design-forward, brand-neutral finishes:
- Matte Black with white typography
- Moss Green with white typography
- Graphite Grey with white typography
Dimensions
17.5" wide × 17.5" deep × 39" tall, measured to the top of the sign.
How It Works
1. We ship directly to your conference centre.
Your Badge & Lanyard Return Boxes arrive assembled and ready to position, with return shipping labels included.
2. Attendees return everything together.
Guests simply drop their complete lanyards, badges and badge holders directly into the boxes. No sorting or separation is required onsite.
3. Repack and return.
Store the original shipping cartons during your event. When collection is complete, place the assembled return boxes back inside, apply the supplied return labels and ship them back to us.
4. We manage the recovery.
Returned materials are counted and sorted. Lanyards are commercially cleaned and quality inspected, reusable components are recovered, and appropriate hardware and other materials are separated for their next pathway.
Then Choose What Your Lanyards Become
Once recovered and prepared, your conference lanyards can move into one or more upcycling pathways.
Options include:
- Youth Lanyard Art Kits
- Employee assembly experiences creating art kits for youth
- Employee + youth woven art experiences
- Employee woven art workshops
- Woven Legacy Artwork
- Woven Lanyard Pillows
- Upcycled zipper pouches
- Custom lanyard products
Choose one pathway or combine several based on the number of lanyards recovered and the impact you want to create.
