Translucent Retractable Badge Reel with Non-Swivel Spring Clip (P/N 2120-473X)

The 2120-473X is a translucent retractable badge reel with a fixed non-swivel spring clip. The 34-inch nylon cord retracts automatically after each use and is rated for 100,000 pulls. The 1-1/4 inch translucent shell is available in four colors. The non-swivel clip stays in a fixed position when attached to a lapel, uniform, or pocket, making it ideal for wearers who prefer the reel face to stay oriented in one direction.

The translucent shell accepts resin, epoxy, vinyl, and adhesive gems cleanly, making this reel a popular blank for badge reel makers on Etsy and TikTok. Healthcare workers are among the most consistent buyers. Nurses, techs, and clinical staff use it daily for ID badge and access card display. The combination of high-cycle durability and a decoratable surface makes it the practical choice for both professional and creative use.

For Badge Reel Makers: The shell is ABS plastic with a heat deflection temperature of approximately 220°F. Use cold-cure adhesives (E6000, Loctite, Gorilla Glue) for decorating. Avoid hot glue. Temperatures above 200°F can warp the internal post and jam the cord.

Compatible with slot-punched ID badges, access cards, proximity cards, and keys.
