From credential list to hard cards in three steps

1

Design your credential

Start from the event badge template or a blank card. Add your event name and dates, a large access label, a photo spot and fields like {{Name}}, {{Role}} and {{Zones}}.

2

Upload your list

Download a spreadsheet with your credential's exact columns, add one row per person, and upload it with their photos. Preview every credential before you order.

3

We print and ship

Credentials are printed on 30mil PVC and shipped via UPS with tracking within 3–5 business days, or the same day with Rush when you order by 11 AM ET on a weekday.

Built for credentialing

Real hard cards

Rigid 30mil PVC, the same CR80 size and thickness as a driver's license. Waterproof and far tougher than laminated paper over a long event or season.

Access levels by color

Make one version per level, such as All Access, Backstage, Crew, Vendor and Media, each in its own color and label, and order them together.

Photo on every credential

Each credential can carry the holder's photo, so staff can match the card to the person at the gate.

Numbered with a barcode or QR code

Print each person's credential number as a barcode or QR code for your own check-in or scanning app, and to make copies easy to spot.

Ready to wear

Add a free punched slot, and lanyards or badge clips at checkout, so credentials arrive ready to hand out.

Late additions

Your design stays saved. Upload a short list for last-minute crew and order just those credentials, with Rush if the event is close.

Pricing

Per card, full-color front. Your whole roster counts toward the quantity.

Quantity Per card

Questions

What is a hard card credential? +
A credential printed on rigid plastic instead of paper or a laminated insert. Ours are 30mil PVC in the standard CR80 size (3.375 × 2.125 in), printed in full color on one or both sides, vertical or horizontal.
Can credentials open doors or gates electronically? +
No. We print visual credentials with an optional barcode or QR code, not RFID access cards. Your staff check them by sight, or scan the code with your own system. Test one card with your scanner before a large order.
Do you print larger sizes or holograms? +
Not at the moment. Every credential is CR80, and anti-copy features are your design itself: photos, colors, event dates and a unique number per person.
How much do event credentials cost? +
From $3.10 a credential, depending on quantity. Orders under 100 include a one-time $25.00 setup fee; 100 or more have no setup fee. See the price table above.
How quickly can I get credentials? +
Standard orders ship within 3–5 business days. With Rush, orders placed by 11 AM ET on a weekday ship the same day. See how late you can order.
