Plastic Cloakroom Cards
Most cloakroom tickets are cheap, perforated paper that tears, smudges and gets thrown away after one event. Our plastic cloakroom cards are built to last for years of reuse - full size CR80 plastic cards, printed with your branding, numbered in matching pairs, and punched with a hole so the garment-side card hangs cleanly on a hanger or peg.
One card goes to your customer. The matching numbered card stays with their coat, bag or belongings. Simple, durable, and a lot more professional than a torn paper stub.
How plastic cloakroom cards work
Each set is printed as a matching pair sharing the same sequential number. The customer keeps one card in their pocket or bag. The other card - punched with a hole at the top - is hung on the hanger or attached to the item with a string, ribbon or split ring. When the customer returns, the numbers are matched and the item is handed back. No paper, no tearing, no fading ink.
Because the cards are full CR80 size plastic rather than thin card stock, they survive being handled hundreds of times a night without curling, ripping or becoming illegible. For venues running cloakrooms every week, that durability pays for itself quickly compared to constantly reordering paper tickets.

Customise your cloakroom cards
Add your venue name, logo and brand colours to both cards in the pair. This is a small, low cost piece of branding that customers physically hold onto for as long as their visit lasts - a good opportunity to reinforce your name compared to a blank generic ticket. We can also print a contact number or website on the card, which is useful for lost property follow-ups.
If you need a fully bespoke numbering range - for example starting at a specific number, or matching an existing system already in use at your venue - our bureau service can set this up as variable data so every pair prints correctly without manual checking.

Frequently asked questions
What are plastic cloakroom cards?
Plastic cloakroom cards are durable numbered card pairs used to track customer belongings in a cloakroom. One card is given to the customer and the matching numbered card is attached to their coat or bag, allowing items to be returned to the correct owner.
What size are cloakroom cards?
Our plastic cloakroom cards are printed to the standard CR80 size, the same size as a credit card, measuring 85.6mm by 54mm.
How is the hole punch positioned?
The hole is punched at 5mm as standard, and we can position it to suit how the card will be hung, looped or attached at your venue. Let us know your preference when you order.
Can the cards be numbered to match an existing system?
Yes. We can start the numbering sequence at any point and continue an existing range already in use at your venue, so new batches fit seamlessly with cards you already have in circulation.
What is the minimum order for cloakroom cards?
The minimum order is 25 pairs, which is 50 cards in total. Larger venues commonly order in batches of 100 pairs or more.
How long does it take to print cloakroom cards?
Standard turnaround is 7 working days from approval of your free proof. Each order includes a photorealistic proof showing your design before printing begins.
Are plastic cloakroom cards reusable?
Yes. Unlike paper tickets, plastic cloakroom cards are designed to withstand repeated use over months or years without tearing or fading, making them more cost effective for venues running cloakrooms regularly.
Can I add my logo to the cards?
Yes, both cards in the matching pair can be printed with your venue logo, branding colours and contact details at no extra cost. Artwork and design support are included free with every order.
