When it may not be suitable

Key specifications

• Form factor: single-piece badge holder with integrated retractable reel
• Card window: clear pocket for visible display of ID or access card
• Extension: retractable cord for distance between wearer and scanner
• Attachment: clip or mounting point for fixing to clothing or belt
• Material: durable plastic construction suitable for repeated handling

How to use

Insert your ID or access card into the clear pocket ensuring the card is facing outward for easy scanning. Attach the badge holder to a pocket, lapel, belt or lanyard using the built-in clip or mounting point. When you need to present the card, extend the retractable cord to reach the scanner or reader and release to allow the cord to retract back into the reel. Regularly check the pocket and mechanism for debris and ensure the card remains fully seated for consistent scanning.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the holder's clear pocket matches the dimensions of your ID or access card
• Confirm the attachment style (clip or mounting point) suits your preferred wearing method
• Consider the required cord extension length for your scanners or access points
• Assess whether the material and construction meet your durability needs for daily use

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the clear window clean and avoid overstretching the retractable cord. Replace the holder if the retraction becomes weak or if the pocket becomes scratched to maintain reliable card reading and clear identification display.
