Press passes

Press passes and media credentials that look official

Give reporters, photographers and crew a credential your staff can recognize at a glance. Design one pass, upload your media list, and we print a personalized 30mil PVC pass for every person, with their photo, name and outlet.

From media list to passes in three steps

1

Design your pass

Start from a template or a blank card. Add a large PRESS or MEDIA label, your event or organization logo, and fields like {{Name}}, {{Outlet}} and {{Role}}, plus a photo spot.

2

Upload your media list

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

3

We print and ship

Passes 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 desks

Photo on every pass

Each pass carries the holder's photo, so staff can match the pass to the person.

Areas by color

Make one version per access level, such as field, press box and general, each in its own color, and order them together.

Season or single event

Print the event name and dates, or a season, so passes are easy to retire afterwards.

QR code or barcode

Add a code with each person's credential number for check-in, or a QR code to your media guidelines.

Free lanyard slot

Add a punched slot for a lanyard or clip at no charge.

Late requests

Your design stays saved. Upload a short list for late approvals and order just those passes.

Questions

Can different passes allow different areas? +
Yes, visually. Make a version of the design for each area or level with its own color and label, and upload a list for each. The pass is printed identification, not an electronic access card.
Can a press pass include a hologram or security feature? +
Not at the moment. Photos, color coding, the event name and dates, and a numbered barcode are the ways to make passes hard to fake.
How much do press passes cost? +
From $3.10 a pass, depending on quantity. Orders under 100 include a one-time $25 setup fee; 100 or more have no setup fee. See the price table above.
How quickly can I get passes? +
Standard orders ship within 3–5 business days. With Rush, orders placed by 11 AM ET on a weekday ship the same day. See same-day ID cards.
