Why Castlemount?

Why event teams choose Castlemount for event pass printing

  • Print quality you'd be proud to hand outEvery badge comes out sharp. Clean photos, solid colour, legible text at a glance. The kind of finish that reflects well on the event, not just the person wearing it.
  • Fast turnaround times to meet your deadlines We dispatch new orders within 2–3 working days. If your event is close and you need a realistic conversation about lead times, call us. We'd rather give you an honest answer than take the order and let you down.
  • Proper proofing before anything goes to print You'll see exactly what your badges will look like before we print a single one. If something's wrong - a name, a title, the logo size or photo, we catch it at the proof stage, not after the box arrives.
  • Simple, straightforward reordering process Once your design is set up with us and on file, reordering takes minutes. No re-uploading artwork, no starting over. Useful when you run repeat events.
  • Custom and template designs available If you have brand guidelines to follow, we can design your event ID passes from scratch. If you want something ready to go quickly, we have professional templates that work well and print cleanly.
  • UK based team that's easy to work with You'll speak to people who know the products and understand what event timelines actually look like. No call centres, no chasing. Just practical help from a team that's been doing this since 1987.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I order different badge designs? Yes, you can order multiple pass types and designs for staff, crew, press, speakers and guests. We can print different designs within a single order. Just let us know what variants you need when you get in touch or build your order online.
  • How quickly will my event badges arrive? We usually dispatch within 2–3 working days of artwork approval. If your event date is tight, contact us before ordering and we'll give you a straight answer on whether we can meet your deadline.
  • Can you print photos on event passes? Yes. We can print variable data including individual photos, names, and roles across the full print run. You supply the data in a spreadsheet format and we do the rest.
  • What is the minimum order quantity? There's no minimum. You can order a single pass if that's what you need. For larger runs of 250 or more, you'll get a dedicated account manager as standard tp help manage the entire process from enquiry all the way through to event day.
  • Can I get event badges with contactless encoding? Yes you can, although it's not very common. If your event uses access control or you need encoded event guest passes for gated areas, we can include encoding as part of the order. Just specify this when building your cards or requesting a free quote.
  • What format does my artwork need to be in? Ideally PDF or high-resolution image files. If you're not sure, send us what you have and our team will let you know whether it's suitable or needs adjustment before going to print.
