Armband ID Badge holders have become one of our most popular ID Badge Accessories.  I just wanted to quickly let everyone know that these are one-size-fits-all and everyone should get a nice comfortable fit whether you have big or small arms!

ID badge holders aren’t constrained to just pin-on-your-shirt types or lanyard strings and plastic name holders anymore.

Many companies today require their employees to carry identification badges, both for security and convenience reasons. Very few employers use paper time cards any longer, and because so many time-keeping devices are electronic, identification badges are required to keep track of regular hours and overtime. The use of ID badges also makes for less paper waste and a more organized, convenient way to keep record of these hours. ID badges also ensure heightened security, keeping track of things such as who enters and leaves a business or employees-only section, which people are handling money, and so forth.

Despite the ease and benefits of using an ID badge, the badge itself can sometimes be hard to keep up with. They can fall out of pockets, become damaged, or lost. Often, employers charge for a replacement badge and it can add up over time if a badge is frequently lost. Lanyards that fit around the neck can be a quick solution, but they can become tangled and damaged, especially with quick-moving jobs such as table serving or jobs involving heavy machinery in factories and warehouses. For this reason, many factory and labor jobs require that nothing hang from your neck for safety reasons.

Retractable ID badge reels are the perfect solution for these problems. With many different clip styles guaranteed to stay put, retractable reels easily allow the attached badge to pull forward for swiping or scanning, and then the badge quickly retracts back to the clip for safekeeping. Specialist ID offers many different styles of retractable badge reels fit for just about any need which can be purchased at our website, specialistid.com. Read the rest of this entry »
