RFID technology puts you in control at events, conventions, and venues where quick entry, cashless payments, and tight security matter. RFID badges and wristbands do it all — streamline access, handle payments, and deliver insights while making events more seamless and enjoyable for guests, staff, and everyone else involved.

We’ve Got You.

Our RFID chipped products work with a variety of systems and integrations.

How RFID Technology Can Benefit Your Event

RFID (radio frequency identification) uses wireless technology to identify and track tags attached to objects worn by people. It’s become a game-changer for events by offering benefits that old-school paper tickets and wristbands simply can’t match.

Attendees just tap their RFID wristbands at entry points, and they’re in — no more standing in endless check-in lines. Your staff can quickly scan and verify credentials with handheld devices, getting people through the door and into your event faster than ever.

Why juggle tickets, cash, and keys when one wearable RFID credential can do it all? These smart devices allow for cashless payments for food, merch, and upgrades, which means shorter lines, faster transactions, and guests who end up spending more because it’s so easy.

RFID protection includes encrypted chips that can’t be counterfeited or passed back, so only people with valid credentials get in. If someone loses their badge, it can be deactivated within seconds.

See exactly where people are gathering and which areas are popular throughout your venue as it happens. RFID technology collects valuable data that helps you understand traffic patterns, gives sponsors the metrics they crave, and provides insights that make your next event even better.

Our RFID Solutions

We offer several RFID options that can be tailored for your event.

Our comfortable, water-resistant wristbands are perfect for multi-day festivals, waterparks, and any event where hands-free convenience matters.

Professional-looking badges combine sophisticated RFID technology with designs appropriate for conferences, trade shows, and corporate events.

Durable, wallet-sized cards provide convenient access control for hotels, resorts, and office buildings.

Make vehicle entry smooth and quick with long-range passes that can be scanned from a distance to prevent traffic backups.

How Our RFID Products Stand Out

We’ve built our RFID solutions to exceed what you’d expect while still meeting your unique branding needs. 

Every RFID badge or wristband we make can showcase your event branding, sponsor logos, and important information. This functional item turns into a marketing tool that reinforces your identity. 

Our systems integrate with most major event management platforms and payment systems, creating smooth data flow and eliminating the headache of trying to connect different technologies.

Whether you’re running an intimate gathering of 100 people or a massive festival with 100,000+ attendees, our RFID solutions scale up or down without sacrificing performance or security.

RFID Technology FAQs

RFID uses radio waves to track objects or people. For events, this usually means small chips embedded in wristbands, badges, or cards that scanners can read without physical contact. 

Unlike barcodes, RFID doesn’t need to be visibly scanned and can read multiple credentials at once, which is why it works so well for busy entry points. The technology comes in different frequencies, each reading different ranges depending on what you need.

At events, attendees get pre-registered credentials with embedded chimps linked to their information. When these chips come near an RFID reader, they send a unique ID code that triggers actions like validating entries, processing payments, or tracking attendance in specific areas. 

The system records these interactions as they happen, giving you insights into crowd movement, spending patterns, and engagement. 

Most RFID systems use either high-frequency(which requires close proximity to readers) or ultra-high frequency (allowing detection from several feet away), depending on what you’re trying to accomplish.

While no technology is completely foolproof, modern RFID protection makes credential hacking very difficult. Our RFID badges use encrypted chips that can’t be easily duplicated, unlike traditional barcodes or magnetic strips. 

We also implement security features like dynamic authentication, where the credential and reader exchange encrypted information that changes with each interaction. 

Many events also use RFID blocking technology in certain areas to prevent unauthorized scanning.

RFID works great for basically any gathering where you need to control access, process payments, or track attendance. They’re especially useful for multi-day festivals where durability matters, conferences with different access levels, theme parks managing ride queues, sporting events handling large crowds, corporate functions tracking session attendance, and cashless venues like foot festivals. 

The technology works well for both small corporate meetings and huge music festivals with thousands of people. Any event where you want shorter lines, better security, useful data, or cashless payments will benefit from RFID technology.

Our minimum order typically ranges from 25 to 100 units. For highly customized or specialized items, minimums might be slightly higher. We know smaller events need this technology, too, so we offer pricing that gets more economical as your quantities increase.
