Retractable Badge Reels
Bottle Cap Plastic Badge Reel 35 mm
A plastic badge reel with a 35 mm diameter housing, a 60 cm cord, and a belt clip with a PVC card strap. It is designed for sites where staff carry ID cards or access passes and need a compact, lightweight reel that stays attached to a pocket or belt without adding bulk. The bottle-shaped housing fits in a hand or pocket, and the cord retracts automatically after use.
- 35 mm diameter housing fits in a pocket or hand without bulk, ideal for tight spaces
- 60 cm cord reaches a desk or chest-height reader without unclipping
- Belt clip and PVC strap are fitted before packing, so no assembly is needed on arrival
- Packed 100 per inner box and 1000 per export carton, which simplifies site-by-site allocation

Compared With The Alternatives
| Metal badge reel with 35 mm housing | Lighter and cheaper per piece, but less durable under repeated impact or drop |
|---|---|
| Standard plastic oval badge reel | More compact and pocket-friendly due to bottle shape, but less stable when placed on a flat surface |
| Retractable key holder with 80 cm cord | Shorter cord and smaller housing suit ID cards better, but not suitable for keys or larger items |
Use Guide
- Clip the reel to a pocket edge or belt using the metal belt clip
- Push the slotted ID card onto the PVC strap and close the snap stud
- Pull the card to the reader and release to let the cord retract
- Keep the cord clear of moving machinery when working in production areas
- Replace the strap rather than the reel if the card slot wears
