A Guide to Choose the Right ID Badge Accessories

Once you create an excellent badge for your employees, you need to give some thought to choosing the right ID badge accessories as well. The purpose for which the badge will be used factors into your selection significantly.

For instance, if you are going to use it at a conference, you have to keep the person’s name and position on prominent display, for which a lanyard badge holder would be suitable. However, for offices and schools, a retractable badge reel would be more appropriate for easy access.

Here are some effective tips to make the right selection for badge accessories that will add more value to the ID badge holders:

Begin with the Holder

The first thing that you have to choose is the kind of holder for your badge. Ranging from transparent and simple sleeves to rigid armbands, choose the one that can keep your card protected, out of the way, and within easy access. Consider the environment while choosing a holder for your badge.

For instance, a lanyard in a manufacturing unit or warehouse can get caught in the machine and pose a serious choking hazard to the wearer. For such workers, armband badge holders would be better, safer fit.

Once you choose the best badge holder as per the working environment, it’s time to look at other accessories that go with it.

Pick the Right Badge Holder Clip

Badge holder clip choices may range from durable, simple straps to metal snaps and others. A strap may be 2.75 to 5.75 inches long, which fits through a slot in your badge or holder and is fixed onto a piece of your garment. Metal snaps are efficient in keeping the badge in place, making it more comfortable to wear the ID card on the shirt pocket or lapel.

If you don’t want to clip the badge to your workers’ clothes, you may choose a strap adapter that allows hanging the badge on a neck chain. If metal chains and metal clips are not the best choices for you, a good alternative would be magnetic attachments. These give a streamlined appearance to the wearer and keeps the badge attached to their clothes without any clips.

Look at the Reel Options

Retractable badge reels are quite popular among environments like hospitals, where workers want to keep their ID in easy access and on constant display but keep it out of their way while working.

These reels are also great for offices where a smart card is required for access via a card reader. They are designed to retract quickly and smoothly, thereby giving a fast and convenient experience to the wearers.

Retractable reels are available with different belt attachments, including metal clips, steel side clips, and alligator clips. You can choose the clip that best suits your work environment. Available in different options of colors and designs, you can choose from swivel and no-twist options. You may also have them customized as per your branding needs.

Check Out the Lanyard Options

One popular method of displaying ID badges is to attach them with a lanyard. There are different lanyard options to choose from, ranging from plastic hooks to steel split rings. You need to select the one that perfectly fits your budget and needs. You may also get lanyards customized with your business logo, message, or URL. These are excellent tools for company branding, apart from being durable and long-lasting.

As far as ID badges are concerned, several accessories go with them. From designing the ID badge itself to displaying it securely, these accessories serve multiple purposes. So, spend some time researching the best accessories for your badges and make sure you select the most convenient option suitable for the work environment.

It’s essential to be aware of all the options and choose the right one or combine these options to come up with a distinct ID badge for your organization. Ensure that the option you choose matches your brand identity and security needs.
