Hot foil stamping
Custom credentials are not created equally.
At ACCESS®, we strive to create the best-looking, most secure backstage passes in the industry. One of our strongest anti-counterfeiting methods is hot foil stamping.
Hot foil stamping uses a heated base and stamping press to transfer foil onto the credential substrate. The result is a metallic or holographic finish that is nearly impossible to counterfeit without commercial equipment.
Designing for foil is not as simple as sending a file to press. The artist has to imagine how the foil will sit inside the design, then work with press operators so the foil is placed and stamped correctly. Slight variations in heat and pressure can cause the foil to crack or fail to adhere.
Expertise in house
Built by the same team that prints and finishes it.
We produce the entire product in-house, keeping backstage passes as secure as possible. Our foil team is constantly pushing the boundaries of custom foil stamping, including multiple hits of foil in different metallic and holographic finishes.
The result is a credential that is difficult to counterfeit and memorable enough for attendees, staff, artists, and fans to keep long after the event is over.
