Metal Badge Reels For Professional Everyday Use
A metal badge reel is a practical retractable option for ID cards, access passes and proximity cards, with a polished chrome effect finish for a more refined appearance. The retractable cord allows the card to extend when needed, then return neatly after use.
Also known as metal ski reels, retractable reels or yo-yo reels, these badge reels are ideal for workplaces, reception areas, offices and professional environments where cards need to be presented regularly.

Buying Metal Badge Reel From Lanyard.co.uk
Our metal badge reels combine practical retractable card access with a polished chrome effect finish. They are commonly used with ID cards, access passes, proximity cards and visitor credentials across workplaces, corporate environments and secure access areas.
Polished chrome effect finish
The metal construction and chrome effect finish provide a more refined look than standard plastic badge reels.
This makes them popular for offices, reception areas, conferences and environments where presentation matters.
Retractable access for ID cards
The retractable cord allows the card or pass to be extended towards a reader, scanner or checkpoint without removing it from the wearer.
This makes metal badge reels useful for secure door entry, time recording, POS systems and other card-based access points.
Also known as ski reels
Badge reels are often called ski reels, retractable reels or yo-yo reels.
Whatever name you use, they help keep ID cards secure, visible and easy to present throughout the day.
Compatible with card holders and wallets
Metal badge reels are usually attached to a slot or hole in an ID card holder, PVC wallet or enclosed holder.
This helps keep cards accessible while protecting them during everyday use.

Choosing the right badge reel
Metal badge reels are usually the right choice when you want a more professional or polished appearance than a standard plastic reel. They are especially popular in office, reception and client-facing environments.
If you need a brighter or more colourful design, rainbow badge reels and plain coloured badge reels may be better suited. If you need logos or branding, custom printed and epoxy dome badge reels provide branded alternatives.
