An ID accessory that makes it easy to display your ID cards and swipe them without digging around a bag or coat pocket adds so much functionality to your card program – so why aren’t you using ID badge reels already?

Why Do We Love Badge Reels?

ID badge reels have several benefits that make them a great choice for many card programs, including:

  • They are easy to use, with the strap attaching to a badge holder or slot punched card
  • With a variety of attachment options (clips, belt clips, carabiner, lanyard, and more) they will work with any clothing style
  • They come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and styles and can be custom printed with your logo
  • No-twist reels keep your ID cards facing out at all times so they can be easily read, increasing security
  • The retractable cord keeps cards out of the way while you’re working

So what types of badge reels can you find at ID Card Group?

Standard Badge Reel Options

The most common style of badge reel is a round badge reel. Our round reels come in a range of options including EasyBadge reels in packs of 50 in many colors, round badge reels in translucent styles, or even metallic chrome round badge reels.

Less common, but just as handy, are square badge reels. Options in the square reel style include no-twist square reels that keep your cards facing out, translucent blue square reels in packs of 25, and even rectangular badge reels in standard and metallic colors.

Because they are standard badge reels, you’ll have the most variety in color, clip and attachment options if you are looking for something specific for your organization.

Specialty Badge Reel Options

In addition to the standard round or square shapes, badge reels can come with a wide range of specialty styles, shapes, and even colors!

Heavy-duty badge reels are designed to withstand more daily wear and tear, making them a good option for outdoor workers or long-term ID badges. Features may include extra-strength vinyl straps or retractable cords made from nylon wire, steel wire, or chain.

Carabiner badge reels are a popular choice for users who attach the reel to a belt loop or jacket loop, or attach them to key rings or other items. Carabiner-style reel options include round reels, oval reels, and no-twist reels.

Other specialty badge reels come in more unique shapes and designs including lanyard/reel combos, heart shapes in red, white, or pink, and even sparkly rhinestone reels.
