Retractable 3-Foot Nylon Cord

The spring-loaded reel contains a 3-foot nylon cord that extends when the attached badge is pulled away from the reel.

This provides convenient reach for presenting an access card to a reader or displaying identification without removing the badge attachment.

When released, the cord retracts into the reel, returning the badge toward its resting position.

The three-strand nylon cord is designed for repeated use during everyday identification tasks.

Convenient Swivel Clip

The swivel clip allows the badge reel to rotate, making it easier to position an attached identification card.

This is useful when approaching access readers from different angles or when adjusting the position of a badge during normal activities.

The clip provides a practical attachment option for compatible clothing and accessories.

Clear Vinyl Strap End Fitting

The clear vinyl strap provides a connection between the retractable reel and a compatible badge or card holder.

It is suitable for identification accessories with an appropriate attachment opening.

The clear material offers a neutral appearance that works with different badge designs and holder colors.

Compact Round Design

The reel measures approximately 1.22" in diameter, making it compact enough for everyday use.

Its blue finish provides a distinctive appearance and can be useful in workplaces that organize identification accessories by color.

The compact design keeps the retractable mechanism close to the attachment point while allowing the badge to extend when needed.

Nickel-Plated Brass Hardware

The snaps and clips are made from nickel-plated brass.

This hardware provides a durable connection for the reel and its badge attachment components during routine use.

The metal fittings complement the clear vinyl strap and blue reel housing.

Convenient for Frequent Badge Access

Retractable badge reels are especially useful in workplaces where employees need to present identification cards repeatedly throughout the day.

Instead of unclipping a badge from clothing or removing a lanyard, users can extend the card toward a compatible reader and allow it to retract afterward.

This makes the reel a practical accessory for offices, healthcare facilities, manufacturing environments, and other locations with access-control systems.
