Buying Plain Coloured Badge Reel From Lanyard.co.uk
Our plain coloured badge reels are designed for everyday identification where cards need to remain accessible. They are commonly used with access control systems, proximity cards, staff ID cards and visitor passes.
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 badge reels useful for secure door entry, time recording, POS systems and other card-based access points.
Plain colours for simple coordination
A range of plain colours makes it easy to match badge reels with lanyards, ID card holders or department colour schemes.
They are a simple option when branding is not required but colour coordination still matters.
Also known as ski reels
Badge reels are often referred to as ski reels, retractable reels or yo-yo reels.
Whatever name you use, they provide the same practical benefit: keeping ID cards secure, visible and easy to present when needed.
Complete your identification setup
Badge reels are often ordered alongside ID cards and inserts and ID card holders, wallets and reels.
They can also be paired with card holders or wallets to keep cards protected while still easy to use.

Works with card holders and wallets
Badge reels are usually attached to a slot or hole in an ID card holder, PVC wallet or enclosed holder.
This gives users quick card access while helping keep the card protected and visible during the working day.
Choosing the right badge reel
Plain coloured badge reels are usually the right choice when you need a simple, cost-effective retractable card holder for regular use. Choose the colour that best matches your lanyards, holders or team setup.
If you need a more polished finish, choose metal badge reels. If you need logos or artwork, custom printed and epoxy dome badge reels provide branded alternatives.
