Event cards that work at the door (scan-ready and durable)
Entry queues move faster when passes are clear, consistent and easy to scan. We can help with barcode/QR sizing and placement, plus simple role labelling so teams know exactly who’s allowed where.
If you’re managing an event, it’s also worth reviewing official UK event safety guidance. Helpful reference: HSE event safety guidance.
- Clear role labels: Staff / Contractor / VIP / Press
- Barcode/QR for quick checks or linking to your system
- Custom sizing when standard CR80 isn’t a fit

Event card options
Choose a specification that matches your access workflow and your holders. If you’re unsure, we’ll recommend the best-fit format based on how you check entry and how the cards will be worn.
Standard size vs custom sized cards
Standard CR80 is the common choice for event passes. If your holder or layout needs something different, we can produce custom sized cards.
Barcode vs QR code for event entry
Barcodes are familiar for fast scanning; QR codes can work well for camera-based checks and linking to digital systems. Tell us your scanning method and we’ll advise.
Numbering, roles and tiering
Add sequential numbering (for issue control) and role/tier identifiers such as Staff, Contractor, VIP or Press. This reduces confusion at checkpoints and helps with reissue management.
Eco-led options
If sustainability is a priority, we can advise on suitable materials and keep claims specific. Explore Eco Cards, including Recyclable Cards and Wood Cards.
After the event: ongoing programmes
If you want repeat visits after the event, consider transitioning attendees to membership cards or loyalty cards.
