Key Facts
- Extends up to 30 inches — the retractable cord reaches the reader without unclipping
- Alligator clip attachment — fastens to a lanyard, pocket edge, or waistband
- Metal housing with iron clip — a rigid body that holds its shape through daily use
- 200D nylon cord — woven cord that resists fraying as it retracts
- ABA plastic internal components — the retraction mechanism is built into the housing
Description
This retractable badge holder pairs a metal housing with an iron alligator clip and a 200D nylon cord. The cord extends up to 30 inches, so a badge can be swiped or scanned without unclipping the holder from a lanyard, pocket edge, or waistband.
The metal body and iron clip give the holder a rigid, substantial feel that stands up to repeated daily use, while the woven nylon cord resists fraying as it retracts. ABA plastic components inside the housing drive the retraction.
Full Color decoration places your artwork on the holder face, where it stays visible at a glance. The compact 1.125-inch by 3-inch body keeps the imprint area proportionate to the holder.

Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your artwork is printed on the face of the badge holder using Full Color decoration, which reproduces photographs, gradients, and unlimited colors.
Full ColorPMSFull-color imprint · 1 location included · one-time setup $55.00
The supplier lists this decoration only as full color, so the one thing it establishes is coloration: the artwork carries as many colors as it needs — photographs, gradients, blends, and dense multi-color detail — rather than a counted set of solid inks, and there is no color count to choose. How the color reaches the item (direct print, transfer, decal, or sublimation) is the supplier's choice for this product and is not stated in their data, so surface feel, finish, and durability follow that process rather than this label.

From our decoration and product guides
- What is PMS color matching?
- Pantone Matching System (PMS) color matching means the printer mixes ink to your exact Pantone number instead of substituting the nearest stock color, so the merchandise in the field matches the logo in your brand guide. It is the difference between branded merchandise that looks like your brand and merch that almost does. More about PMS color matching →
- Is there a charge for PMS color matching?
- On this product, Pantone (PMS) color matching is offered as an option for an additional charge per matched color. The charge appears in the price breakdown when you select a Pantone color in the configurator, so you can see the total before you order. Without it, the printer uses the closest standard stock ink color. More about PMS color matching →
- Which decoration methods can match a Pantone color exactly?
- Exactly: spot-color print methods where each color is a separate premixed ink — screen print, pad print and heat transfer. Embroidery is matched to the nearest available thread shade rather than mixed to a Pantone number. Full-color (CMYK) processes such as digital print, sublimation, direct-to-garment and domed decals approximate Pantone colors as a process blend and cannot match them exactly. Laser engraving, debossing and embossing carry no ink at all, so color matching does not apply. More about PMS color matching →
