What is a Retractable Badge Holder?

Good question! A retractable badge holder is a device that secures and displays an employee’s badge. With a retractable badge holder, employees don’t have to worry about finding a place to store their badge while on the job. Badge holders make it easy for employees to move around the facility, entering and exiting areas that require credentials.  

Retractable Badge Holders

Retractable badge holders are great for professionals always on the go. These badge holders are made with a casing, spring mechanism, retractable cord, attachment and badge holder end fitting. The casing is the round or square object that houses the cord. A spring mechanism is attached to the retractable cord to allow users to move it at will. The clothing attachment enables the user to clip the badge to their clothing such as a waistband or coat pocket. The last piece, the ID badge attachment, is meant to hold the actual badge.

Carabiner Badge Holder

Carabiner badge holders are named after the carabiner mechanism. A carabiner is a metal loop with an opening on the side. Oftentimes, carabiners are used to attach to belt loops or work vest, the KEY-BAK Sidekick is one of our most popular carabiner retractable badge holders.
