IDenticard’s badge reels are available in a variety of styles, including different colors, attachment types and end fittings. If you’re having trouble choosing the right badge reel for your organization, our solutions specialists will work with you to determine which badge reel best meets your needs.
While the main goal of most badges and cards is to identify the wearer with pictures or text, other credentials contain magnetic stripes, barcodes or other technology that can be swiped through or scanned by a card reader. Badges and cards like this need to be displayed, but also need to be readily accessible to make scanning and swiping easy.
Badge reels are the perfect card accessory for these kinds of credentials. Badge reels can be clipped to a belt, pocket or other article of clothing to display a badge or card with an added benefit: the retractable nylon cord inside the badge reel allows the badge or card to be pulled out for scanning or swiping without removing the credential from the user.
Ordering badge reels from IDenticard comes with an added benefit: unlike many companies, we manufacture the majority of our badge reels in our own factories. This allows us to eliminate the middleman and ensure high-quality goods at a fair price.
