Description

This custom patriot badge reel carries a red, white and blue sonic-welded body made from recycled material, plus the longest cord offered, a 40" nylon pull. It gives staff at patriotic events, agencies and hospitals an oversized full-color space for a logo, and a swivel clip keeps the badge in reach.

Patriot badge reels make easy July 4th giveaways, since the red, white and blue body does the talking before anyone reads your logo. For Nurses Week, give each nurse one on the unit, where the 40" cord reaches a door reader without taking the badge off. Law enforcement teams can hand them out at appreciation days, and the chrome-finished 360º swivel alligator clip turns so the badge faces out on a pocket or belt. The polished stainless steel spring is tested to 150,000 retractions, so the reel keeps pulling back through a long shift. Have your logo printed on an applied label for a clean full-color look across the oversized imprint area. Reels ship in bulk, so a registration table can fill totes fast.

Pick this reel when you want a bold, patriotic look on a heavy-duty, daily-use badge. For a department order, see our law enforcement badge reels to match sizes and styles across ranks and units. Pair the reel with a plain lanyard for visitors, and keep the patriot reel for staff who wear a badge all day. Choose one look so the whole team reads as one group in a crowd.

Email your artwork and we will build a free virtual proof of the label on your reel before anything is made. We quote setup and shipping up front, so you see the full total and an in-hands date.
