What card sizes card you print with the ECP-CR100 Event Card Printer?

Within this larger card stock, the printer’s maximum printable area is around 86 mm × 54 mm, allowing full-colour personalisation of names, photos, barcodes, QR codes, and access details while taking full advantage of the extended format.
This larger CR100 size makes the printer ideal for event badges, passes, and credentials that need to stand out and carry more visible information.
What types of event are using the ECP-XT Event Card Printer?

-
Conferences and trade shows — for attendee, speaker, exhibitor, and VIP badges with clear branding and information.
-
Festivals and concerts — for artist, crew, volunteer, and VIP passes that require visible, durable credentials.
-
Sporting events and tournaments — for media, staff, official, and access control passes with barcodes or QR codes.
-
Corporate events and meetings — for guest badges, staff IDs, and workshop access cards.

Exhibitions and expos — where on‑site printing of large, information‑rich badges improves check‑in flow.

These events benefit from the ECP‑XT’s ability to handle extended card formats that deliver greater visibility, branding space and functionality compared with standard‑size cards.
Why would you use a larger card in the event market?
Using a larger card instead of a standard CR80 (credit-card size) ID card offers several advantages for the event business:
-
More Space for Information – Larger cards give you room for names, job roles, company logos, schedules, QR codes, barcodes, access levels, and event branding all on a single card, reducing clutter and improving readability.
-
Enhanced Visibility – Oversized cards are easier to spot from a distance, which helps staff, security, and attendees quickly identify roles, access levels, or VIP status during busy events.
-
Professional and Premium Appearance – Bigger cards make a stronger visual impression and can elevate the perception of your event, giving attendees a more polished and organised experience.
-
Better Security and Access Control – With more space, you can incorporate multiple security features such as holograms, QR codes, barcodes, or NFC chips without compromising design or clarity.
-
Customisation and Branding Opportunities – Larger cards allow creative branding with graphics, sponsors, or event-specific visuals, making them memorable keepsakes for attendees.
-
Ease of Use for Attendees and Staff – Oversized badges are easier to handle, wear, and scan, which can speed up registration, check-in, and access to restricted areas.
In short, larger cards combine functionality, security, and presentation, which is especially valuable for large-scale or high-profile events where first impressions and efficient operations matter.
