What card sizes can you print with the ECP-XL Event Card Printer?
The CX ECP‑XL Event Card Printer is designed to personalise oversized event and accreditation cards, accommodating larger formats than standard credit‑card sized PVC.

These types of events benefit from the printer’s ability to produce oversized, highly visible, and professional‑quality credentials quickly and on demand.
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.
