Hey there! As a supplier of PVC lanyard cards, I often get asked about how to attach a badge reel to these cards. It's a pretty straightforward process, but there are a few things you need to know to do it right. In this blog post, I'll walk you through the steps and share some tips to make the process as easy as possible.
What You'll Need
Before you start, gather the following materials:
- A PVC lanyard card
- A badge reel
- A pair of scissors
- A hole puncher (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the PVC Lanyard Card
First, take a look at your PVC lanyard card. Most cards come with pre - punched holes, but if yours doesn't, you'll need to use a hole puncher to create one. The hole should be big enough to fit the attachment loop of the badge reel. Place the hole puncher at the top of the card, where you want the badge reel to be attached, and press down firmly to create the hole.
Step 2: Choose the Right Badge Reel
There are different types of badge reels available in the market. You've got the standard retractable ones, which are great for everyday use. Then there are heavy - duty ones for more industrial or high - traffic environments. Make sure to choose a badge reel that suits your needs. For example, if you're using the lanyard card in a busy office, a standard retractable reel will do the job just fine.
Step 3: Attach the Badge Reel
Once you've got your card ready and the right badge reel, it's time to attach them. Take the attachment loop of the badge reel and thread it through the hole in the PVC lanyard card. If the loop is too big, you can use a pair of scissors to trim it down a bit. After threading the loop through the hole, pull it tight so that the badge reel is securely attached to the card.
Step 4: Test the Attachment
After attaching the badge reel, give it a little tug to make sure it's firmly attached. You don't want the badge reel to come off easily, especially if you're using it in a professional or high - activity setting. If it feels loose, you might need to adjust the loop or try a different method of attachment.
Tips for a Secure Attachment
- Use a strong and durable badge reel. Cheaper ones might break easily, especially if they're pulled on frequently.
- If you're using a hole puncher, make sure the hole is clean and smooth. Rough edges can cause the attachment loop to get caught or break.
- Consider using a lanyard clip in addition to the badge reel for extra security. This can be especially useful if you're worried about the card getting lost.
