A practical accessory for your badges: the badge reel

The badge reel, also known as a zip or yoyo, is a highly practical accessory for keeping your badge or card close to hand at all times. You can wear your badge on your belt and use it whenever you need to without having to unhook it, thanks to the retractable cord. We have a wide range of badge reels that you can customise online, using our online customisation tool.

Why use a custom retractable badge holder?

Wearing a badge in the workplace has become the norm. Badges enable staff members to be identified quickly and easily, making it easier to control access to the building or specific areas. Badge reels have been specially designed for RFID badges. They have a retractable cord so you can pull your badge right up to the scanner. When you release the card, it automatically returns to its original position. This is even more useful if there are access control readers in several locations in the company. Some of our models have an anti-rotation clip, to ensure the badge is always displayed correctly.

How to customise your badge reel?

You can opt for neutral yoyo reels or customise your badge reel as you wish. Firstly, we offer a wide choice of different colours, to match your corporate colours. Use our online customisation tool to add your own logo, slogan or image. Your customisation will be protected with a resin dome to ensure long-term protection. Custom badge reels help you promote your brand and are a useful accessory for your employees.

Lanyards with badge reel

We also have lanyards with a built-in yoyo reel. These lanyard reels offer all the benefits of lanyards and badge reels in a single product. For example, our bestselling 3 in 1 SilmReel. This practical model consists of a cord, a hook and a yoyo reel that can be used separately or together to provide a complete solution.

Which model should you choose?

Our range includes several zip reel models. We have round or square models, depending on your preference. If you're looking for a badge reel to be used in a hospital environment, we have the perfect model for you. Made entirely of plastic, this model does not contain any metal, so it cannot interfere with medical equipment. If, on the other hand, you're looking for a very robust model that can be used in harsh environments, opt for our metal yoyo reels. Some of our models also come with an anti-rotation clip to keep your badge in the right position. All our models come with a high-quality retractable cord that will stand up to repeated use.
