Preparing Artwork For A Badge Reel Recess
Use recess size, cord length, fitting and carton count to prepare artwork. Recesses from 25 mm to 31 mm, 80 cm cord, 300 to 500 per carton.

Start With The Recess Size Before The Logo
The recess is the space where the logo sits. A 25 mm diameter recess fits a circular badge up to 25 mm across. A 31 mm recess fits a larger circular badge or a rectangular one up to 31 mm wide. Use the published recess size to check if your artwork will fit before sending it to print.

Match The Recess Shape To The Badge Design
A circular recess suits a logo with a circular border or a device mark. A rectangular recess fits a badge with a wordmark or a logo with straight edges. The 36 x 42 mm badge reel has a 25 mm diameter recess, so a circular logo works best.

Check The Cord Length For Access Point Height
An 80 cm cord reaches a chest-height reader or a door reader while the reel stays clipped to the belt. A shorter cord may require unclipping at every access point, which reduces usability and increases loss risk.

Fix The Fitting Before The Colour
The fitting is what makes a reorder interchangeable. PVC straps, plastic hooks, metal clips and metal hooks repeat across the reel families. Choose one fitting type and stick with it across departments to avoid spare parts confusion.

Read The Carton Count Before You Split The Order
Each model publishes an individual pack, inner box quantity and export carton quantity. The 500-piece carton is standard for most reels. Ordering by carton keeps the shipment sealed and avoids repacking at the receiving end.
