Choosing keyring badge reels for staff who carry keys
Anyone who has watched a nurse fish a swipe card out of a pocket while holding a set of ward keys will understand the appeal of a badge reel with a key ring. The card lives on a retractable cord, the keys hang from the ring, and the whole thing clips to a belt or pocket. Nothing gets set down and nothing gets left in a lift.
These reels turn up in hospitals, schools and warehouses across Ireland, anywhere staff move between doors that need both a card and a key. The range comes in packs of 50 from €61 ex VAT, in two styles, the classic round badge reel and the carabiner card reel.
Badge reel or carabiner card reel: what to look for
- ID badge reels with key ring, in black or chrome. A round reel with a strap for the card and a split ring for keys.
- Carabiner card reels with key rings, in black, white or blue translucent. The carabiner hooks onto a belt loop or bag strap, with the cord and ring below.
- Carabiner reels with belt and key rings. The one to pick when the keys are heavy: the belt clip takes the weight so the spring is not doing all the work.
Matching reels to holders and lanyards
Most Irish workplaces put the card in a holder first: the open-faced ID card holders are the usual pairing, and the wider ID card holders and clips range covers the rest. If you would rather the reel hang from a lanyard, the lanyards with reels come ready assembled. The full ID badge reels page and the strap clip reels cover versions without a key ring.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a badge reel and a carabiner card holder?
A badge reel clips flat to a pocket or belt. A carabiner card reel hooks through a belt loop or bag strap, so it hangs rather than clips.
Can I hang keys on a retractable badge reel?
Yes, that is what the key ring is for. Keep the set light on a standard reel; for a heavy bunch, the carabiner reel with belt and key rings spreads the load.
Do these key reels come in packs?
All the listings are packs of 50, which suits a department or a shift. For a whole hospital or campus, ring us about larger quantities.
