Looking for a smarter way to manage your event? RFID event badges offer secure, contactless access, seamless payments, and a streamlined experience for guests and staff alike. With full customization and cutting-edge RFID technology, Arnett Credentials helps you take your event to the next level.


What Is RFID?

RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. It’s a wireless technology that uses embedded chips and antennas to transmit information without the need for physical contact. In event settings, RFID badges can be scanned at entrances, payment stations, or restricted areas to grant access, process transactions, or gather data.

Why Choose RFID Badges for Events?

RFID technology transforms how you manage access, security, and engagement at any event. Here’s what makes it a must-have:

RFID badges help enforce access control by assigning different clearance levels to different badge types. Whether it’s a VIP lounge, backstage area, or secure vendor zone, RFID ensures only the right people get through.

Say goodbye to long lines and manual badge checks. Attendees simply wave their badge near a reader, and they’re in. It’s faster, safer, and reduces congestion at entry points.

RFID badges can be linked to payment systems, allowing attendees to make purchases without handling cash or cards. Perfect for festivals, expos, and conferences with vendor booths or concessions.

With faster check-in, smoother re-entry, and instant scanning for purchases or perks, RFID badges elevate the entire attendee journey while freeing up staff for higher-value tasks.

Track attendee movement, monitor engagement, and gather data to improve future events. RFID event badges can help you learn what’s working, and what needs a refresh.

RFID Event Badges FAQs

An RFID event badge is a credential embedded with a radio frequency identification chip that wirelessly communicates with scanners. It allows attendees to check in, access restricted areas, and make purchases without physical contact.

Each RFID chip can be programmed with individual access permissions, so only authorized users can enter designated zones. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access and streamlines security checks.

Absolutely. All of our RFID badges are fully customizable. You can choose full-color printing, special finishes, custom shapes, variable data, and more to match your branding perfectly.

We offer Teslin, PVC, laminated pouches, and flush-cut formats with edge-to-edge printing. You can also add foil stamping, UV ink, holographic finishes, and more.
