Retractable Badge Reels
Heart Shaped Plastic Badge Reel 40 mm
A heart-shaped plastic badge reel with a 40 x 31 mm housing, a 60 cm cord, and a belt clip with a PVC card strap. It is designed for events and corporate gifts where a soft, non-metallic shape is preferred and the badge must stay attached to the wearer without repacking. The cord retracts automatically, and the reel ships fully assembled with the clip and strap fitted.
- Heart-shaped housing provides a distinctive, non-standard look that stands out in promotional or gift distributions
- 60 cm cord reaches a chest-height card reader without requiring the wearer to unclip the reel
- Belt clip and PVC strap are fitted before packing, so no assembly is needed upon arrival
- Packed 100 per inner box and 1000 per export carton, which simplifies site-by-site or event-by-event allocation

|---|---|
| Round plastic badge reel | More distinctive shape for branding, but less common in standard corporate orders |
| Fixed lanyard with card holder | Lower cost per unit, but the card does not stay secured during movement |
Use Guide
- Clip the reel to a belt, waistband or pocket edge with 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 on the line
- Replace the strap rather than the reel if the card slot wears
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the cord on this badge reel?
The cord is 60 cm, long enough to reach a chest-height reader without unclipping the reel.
How big is the housing?
The housing measures 40 mm in length and 31 mm in width.
How are the reels packed for export?
One piece per poly bag, 100 pieces per inner box and 1000 pieces per export carton.
Does the reel come with a clip and a card strap?
Yes. The belt clip and the PVC card strap are fitted before packing, so nothing is assembled on arrival.
Can we put our own logo on it?
Yes. The logo can be applied on the housing face. Send artwork by email or WhatsApp and we will confirm how it fits the 40 x 31 mm shape.
Can we mix this reel with other ELEVATE reels in one order?
