Badge reels and retractable holders

Retractable reels that let a card be scanned or swiped without unclipping it. Reel housings can carry a printed logo.

Overview

A badge reel is a small retractable spool that clips to a lanyard or belt and lets a card be pulled out to a reader and released back on a spring — so a badge can be scanned or swiped dozens of times a day without being unclipped. The reel housing is a natural branding surface and can carry a printed logo. Badge reels pair with any of our card holders and are usually ordered alongside PVC ID cards and lanyards so the whole credential works as one piece.

Frequently asked questions

Can we print our logo on the badge reel?
Yes. The reel housing carries a printed logo, so the reel becomes part of the branded credential rather than a plain accessory. Send the logo with your quote request and we will confirm the print area.
Do badge reels work with your lanyards and card holders?
Yes. We design the reels, lanyards, and card holders to work together and usually quote them as a set so colours and branding match. Ask for a matched credential in your quote request.
