Custom Event Pass Printing: On-Demand Large Format Badges

Branding is essential to the success of any event. Building a recognisable identity that connects with your audience goes beyond advertising - your custom event tickets, passes and badges are part of the overall experience. Adding bespoke designs alongside personalised details helps reinforce your brand at every touchpoint.

Why Use Custom Event Passes?

Using a professional event pass or ticketing system improves security and access control. Issuing passes to attendees, staff, crew and security teams helps clearly identify authorised individuals and reduce the risk of unauthorised entry.

Custom event passes can include key information such as:

• Event name and artwork
  
  

• Venue location
  
  

• Dates and timings
  
  

• QR codes or barcodes
  
  

• Attendee name
  
  

• Photo ID
  
  

For festivals, concerts and corporate events, printed passes often become keepsakes. A well-designed, branded ticket enhances the attendee experience and strengthens loyalty to your event.

How to Personalise Custom Printed Event Badges

Start with a branded template using your company colours, fonts and logo to ensure consistency. You can then personalise each badge with:

• Event details
  
  

• Attendee name
  
  

• Photo ID
  
  

• Schedules or maps
  
  

• QR codes or barcodes
  
  

• Different badge sizes or access levels
  
  

Finish the look with a custom printed lanyard to improve visibility, security and brand exposure throughout your event.

You may find it difficult to include all of the information required onto your event pass, but ID Card Centre has the ideal solution for event pass printing.

Custom branded event badge printer

With the PriceCardPro Flex+, you can produce custom badges on-demand, meeting your event requirements as they appear. This is a robust and durable device that offers a range of flexibility options, and its compact size of 21cm (W) x 25.1cm (H) x 38.6cm (D) means that it can fit into a range of environments.

The range of compatible ribbons mean you can print in full colour or monochrome, and you can print on both sides of the card, allowing extra space for your custom event badges whilst you brand your event brilliantly.

You can also decide how your event passes are printed, with three different sizes available:

• 54mm x 86mm (CR80)
• 54mm x 109mm
• 54mm x 128mm
• 54mm x 140mm

Using a large format card allows you to add extra styling to your artwork, or you can utilise the space for event information, variable data, and security features.

The PriceCardPro Flex+ is a fast production model, with print speeds of up to 190 full-colour cards per hour and 750 monochrome cards per hour. With minimal input required, you can send your data to print on event passes and use the time to focus on other important aspects of your event.

This printer can produce passes for a whole range of event types, accommodating different sizes and materials, including PVC and eco-friendly options. PVC cards are durable and can withstand most conditions, but for short-term use, they aren't the ideal solution. We offer recycled PVC cards and biodegradable plastic cards, alongside enviricard® paperboard cards.

Recyclable options for event and security passes

Enviricard® paperboard cards are ideal for a full sustainable solution for event passes. Whether you need full colour or monochrome, you can easily add any customisation for single or double sided printing onto eco friendly cards.

Made from fully sustainable recycled materials, including renewable bio-energy and the utilisation of wooden waste products, these enviricard® cards provide events organisers with recyclable, attractive passes that are made of paper – a great addition to your event. Order online to start personalising your paper event passes.

Whilst the Flex+ is capable of printing full colour event name badges, passes or tickets, the longer 109mm and 140mm cards will only accept a full-colour print area equivalent to a 54mm x 86mm (CR80) card and will not automatically print double-sided. Pre-printed cards and manually flipping cards to print on the reverse allow for the additional card area to be covered. The 54mm x 140mm cards can only be printed in monochrome using the Flex+, but is ideal for over-printing on (colour) pre-printed cards.

Pre-printed designs for easy issuance

We offer full customisation options for pre printed cards at a small extra cost. This includes your logo and branding, with a blank space for overprinting details. This allows you to customise the event passes with the varying levels required, such as standard tickets, VIP, or even staff. Pre-printing allows you to choose from a range of finishes, including gloss or matt, spot UV, hot foil, and more. With pre-printing, you can also choose to laminate passes, making them much more durable and suitable for all weather conditions. 

Once you have a stock of cards that have been digitally printed with your branded design, you can use the PriceCardPro Flex+ to overprint any personalisation such as photo ID, a name, barcodes, QR codes and more.
