FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are satin stickie passes?
Satin stickie passes — also called satin sticky passes or satin stickies — are peel-and-stick cloth credentials printed on satin fabric with a strong adhesive backing, used for backstage, crew, and VIP access at concerts, festivals, and live events. They’re write-on ready for on-site names or access levels.
What are satin backstage passes used for?
Satin backstage passes control access at live events — crews stick them on shirts, laminates, or gear to show clearance for backstage, media, VIP, and production areas. Because they’re single-use and can’t be re-stuck, they’re a fast, tamper-resistant way to manage who gets where at a 1–2 day event.
Do satin cloth passes stay on during an event?
Yes. The adhesive is tested to hold firmly on fabric, laminates, and gear through concerts, festivals, and long event days, then peels cleanly afterward. They’re built for the full length of a 1–2 day event.
How much do satin sticky passes cost?
Custom satin sticky passes start at as low as $0.33 each, with a 100-piece minimum and full-color printing included. Add-ons like foil stamping, numbering, barcodes, and UV ink are available. Send your artwork and quantity for a same-day quote.
Can I write on satin sticky passes?
Yes — the satin surface takes Sharpie and standard pens, so staff can add names, dates, or access zones on-site. You can also pre-print numbering, barcodes, or QR codes for scanning.
Are satin stickies reusable?
No — satin stickies are single-use by design. Once removed, the adhesive won’t re-stick, which keeps a pass from being shared. For multi-day access, a laminated badge on a lanyard is the reusable option.
What shapes and sizes do satin passes come in?
Satin passes come as rectangles (3″×4″ up to 5″×7″), circles (3.5″ or 4″), triangles, guitar picks, pills, squares, diamonds, stars, and custom logo die-cuts — all printed full color. Custom sizes are available on request.
Can satin passes include numbering, barcodes, or QR codes?
Yes — we add sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes, and even RFID for check-in scanning and access tracking, combined with a write-on surface for on-site notes.
What are AAA (Access All Areas) passes?
AAA — Access All Areas — passes are the top clearance level at an event, granting entry to every zone including stage and production. Satin stickies make great AAA passes: print a bold all-access design, add numbering, and color-code your access tiers.
How do satin stickies compare to laminated badges?
Satin stickies are lightweight, adhesive, single-use, and lower cost — ideal for short events and crew. Laminated badges are rigid, reusable, and worn on a lanyard — better for multi-day access. Many events use both.
