What moves the price
For plastic event pass, the drivers are material: paper, cardstock, recycled paper, print: full color, one-sided or two-sided, format: die-cut pocket, foldover, finish: matte, gloss, uncoated, personalization: variable data, technology: RFID, NFC, magnetic stripe, material: PVC, composite, wood, encoding: UID, encrypted, pre-programmed — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Pricing is driven most by substrate and security/technology adders: plain laminated or PVC event passes are cheapest, while RFID/NFC, magnetic stripe, variable data, and encoding push costs up materially. U.S.-facing wholesale routes with published tiers are most realistic for laminated/plastic badges and passes, while import/landed-equivalent pricing from marketplaces is the best source for very large volumes. The quoted prices here are anchored to published tiered pricing for laminated passes and plastic event badges, plus low-cost import pricing for VIP/PVC event passes; full custom security-featured passes will generally price above these bands.
