In total, Heyden-Securit delivered more than 2,500 personalised credentials. The Xtended cards were pre-printed, colour coded with the national colours of Azerbaijan and punched prior to the event.
On the day organisers in Baku simply had to personalise each one with the details of competitors, officials, VIP guests and press. Each card was personalised and printed instantly using the Magicard Rio Pro Xtended printer integrating seamlessly with Securit ID software.
All access areas and personnel – including the secure zone for bicycles and other team equipment, press, all organisers, police and many others were clearly defined and controlled to enable the best access and safety for everybody involved in the race.
The Magicard Rio Pro Xtended personalises extra-long plastic cards for ticketing, accreditation and product labeling. Long format cards provide more design options, superior visibility and are widely used for security badges at sports and music events.
