In recent years, event organizing has been revolutionized by a product that brings convenience and quality, plastic event passes, that creates a streamlined check-in experience, lasting mementos, and an air of class.

Event Pass Printing

All our event cards are printed in England and are solid, high quality plastic.

You will find cheaper event passes on the internet but they will be low quality imports from China (usually with long 10 to 15 working day turnaround times)

However, you will probably not be aware of this, as companies who outsource production to China don't like to advertise that the event passes are printed thousands of miles away and that they have no control over the manufacturing process and the quality will be ... well, as you would expect for a cheap import from China!

Examples of some of the type of events that we have printed event passes for are:

Music Festivals, Trade Shows/Expositions, Film Festivals, Concerts, Sporting Events Theme Parks, Theater Performances, Conferences, VIP Experiences, Museum Exhibitions, Culinary Festivals, Comedy Shows, Charity Galas, Professional Workshops, Art Fairs, Video Game Tournaments, Book Signings/Author Events, Guided Tours, Live Television Shows, Educational Seminars ... the list is endless!

Our event passes are very durable as they are solid plastic and are printed in vibrant full colour (CMYK) on each side under the surface for maximum durability, plus you can choose a high gloss or premium matt finish.

We can help you by creating your artwork for you free of charge, or if you are supplying your own artwork we can check it for technical issues and fix them free of charge so they will print perfectly.

Professionally printed plastic Event Passes

Unlike their paper counterparts, plastic event passes are crafted from durable materials, designed to withstand the hustle and bustle of event environments. Whether it's a bustling tech conference or a high-energy rock concert, these badges provide a tangible, long-lasting symbol of participation. They're water-resistant, tear-resistant, and more visually appealing, allowing event-goers to carry them around without fear of damage.

One of the standout features of plastic event passes is their adaptability and customizability. Organizers can imprint logos, barcodes, QR codes, or even pictures onto these passes. Not only does this enhance branding opportunities, but it also simplifies the check-in process. Event staffers can easily scan a barcode or QR code to verify a guest's credentials. This advancement in technology can greatly reduce wait times for participants, making their initial event experience a positive one.

Equally important is the security aspect. Plastic event passes are harder to duplicate or tamper with, compared to traditional paper ones, offering an added layer of security. Organizers can add unique identifiers, holographic overlays, or even deploy RFID technology for advance verification processes. This means event participants can enjoy uninterrupted access, and event hosts can maintain control over their venues.

Accessibility is also a massive advantage for plastic event passes. The plastic event pass can be attached to lanyards, clipped to clothing, or even worn as wristbands. This versatility ensures that attendees can display their identification without causing any inconvenience. For instance, an outdoor adventure event would benefit greatly from plastic wristband passes which wouldn't interfere with the activities.

More than just functional, plastic event passes also offer aesthetic value. Whether they're sleek and minimalistic or vibrant and eye-catching, event passes can be designed to match the aesthetic of the event. They contribute to the atmosphere and help create a cohesive event identity. After the event, these passes often become keepsakes. Attendees can look back at their sturdy, well-designed, and branded plastic event pass years down the line, invoking meaningful memories of the occasion.

In terms of the environment, new advancements have even allowed the introduction of biodegradable plastic passes, which degrades over a few years, therefore reducing the impact on the planet. This advancement caters to increasingly environmentally-conscious consumers and offers a greener alternative to conventional plastic.

Considering the numerous advantages, it's no surprise that plastic event passes have become the standard for modern event organizing. They're a testament to the progress that has been made in improving attendees' experience, providing efficient solutions for access control and visitor identification, while remaining a stylish accessory. In an era where first impressions can make or break an experience, plastic event passes are an excellent tool to surprise and delight attendees right from the get-go.

In conclusion, the adoption of plastic event passes is an elegant solution to numerous logistical challenges posed in event planning. They stand for convenience, security, aesthetic value, and even environmental consciousness, rightfully becoming an inherent facet of events in various industries. As we march on into a future where in-person events are designed to be memorable and personal, these plastic passes reliably facilitate a seamless, enjoyable event experience.
