Description
Materials and Build
This retractable badge holder is crafted from zinc alloy, a material known for its substantial feel and durability. The metal body provides a high-end look that stands up to daily use at trade shows and conferences. The 31 ½-inch retractable cord extends when needed and retracts smoothly, keeping your badge accessible yet out of the way.
Attachment and Branding
A split ring attachment securely holds badges, keys, or other credentials. The circular imprint area on the front face is ideal for laser etching, which creates a permanent, recessed mark in the metal's own tone. This method ensures your logo remains crisp and legible over time.
Portability
Weighing just 0.12 pounds, this holder is lightweight and easy to carry. Its compact design makes it a practical choice for events where attendees need quick access to their identification.

Decoration & Imprint
1 method
Your logo is laser etched into the front face of the badge holder, creating a permanent, recessed mark in the metal's own tone. This method is best for single-tone logos, fine line work, and small text where a dimensional mark matters more than color.
Laserone-time setup $100.00
Laser engraving uses a focused beam to etch your design directly into the surface, leaving a permanent, recessed mark with clean, sharp edges that hold fine lines and small text. The result carries no separate ink: it reads in the substrate's own tone — a lighter shade on metal, a darker burn on wood — with a depth you can feel and a mark that resists fading, wear, and scratching.

From our decoration and product guides
- What does laser engraving look like on a promotional product?
- Laser engraving uses a focused beam to etch the design directly into the surface, leaving a permanent, recessed mark with clean, sharp edges. There is no ink: the mark reads in the material's own tone, a lighter shade on metal and a darker burn on wood, with a depth you can feel. It resists fading, wear and scratching because nothing sits on top of the surface. More about Laser →
- Can laser engraving be done in my brand color?
- No. Engraving carries no added color and shows only the substrate's own tone, so a design that depends on brand colors, color contrast, gradients or photographic detail is a poor fit. It is the right choice for single-tone logos, fine line work and small text where a permanent, dimensional mark matters more than color. For printed spot color choose pad print or screen print.

- Where are your products made?
- The Origin row in each product's Specifications states where the item is manufactured: it reads Made in a named country for US, Canadian, UK, Swiss and European origins, and Imported, decorated in USA when the blank comes from elsewhere and is decorated domestically. Products manufactured in the United States are also collected in the USA Made category. More about USA-made products →
