Compared With The Alternatives
| Metal badge reel | Lighter and cheaper per piece, but less durable under heavy daily use |
|---|---|
| Fixed lanyard with card holder | Costs more than a plain lanyard, but the card stays in place without lifting it |
| Round 40 mm plastic reel | Larger print area, but the oval shape suits longer logo text better than a circle |
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 desk-height or waist-height reader without unclipping the reel.

The housing measures 55 x 35 mm, with a flat face for logo application.
How are the reels packed for export?
One piece per poly bag, 50 pieces per inner box, and 500 pieces per export carton.
Does the reel come with a clip and a card strap?
Yes. The belt clip and PVC card strap are fitted before packing, so no assembly is needed on arrival.
Can we put our own logo on it?
Yes. The logo is applied on the housing face. Send artwork by email or WhatsApp and we will confirm how it fits the 55 x 35 mm oval shape.
Can we mix this reel with other ELEVATE reels in one order?
