FAQS

Do retractable badge reels work with Australian access card systems?

Yes, retractable badge reels accommodate standard Australian proximity access cards and magnetic stripe credentials. Extended cord length suits typical card reader mounting heights in Australian buildings. Reels withstand frequent scanning required in secure facilities, corporate offices and healthcare environments.

Are breakaway clasps mandatory for Australian workplace lanyards?

Breakaway clasps are not universally mandatory across all Australian workplaces but are strongly recommended for safety-critical environments. Healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, schools and childcare centers typically require breakaway features preventing strangulation hazards. Workplace health and safety regulations may mandate breakaways in specific industries.

What attachment works best for thick conference name tag holders?

Strong clamp pressure prevents slippage during active networking and movement. Alternative heavy-duty swivel clips also accommodate thicker badge materials used at professional conferences.

Can we order attachments separately to add to existing lanyards?

Yes, lanyard attachments are available separately for retrofit onto existing lanyards. Organizations can upgrade attachment hardware without replacing entire lanyard inventory. Minimum order quantities apply for bulk attachment purchases. Contact for pricing on attachment-only orders.

Do metal attachments set off security scanners at Australian airports?

Small metal lanyard attachments typically do not trigger airport security scanners when worn through screening. However, removing lanyards during security processing is recommended. Retractable reel housings containing metal springs may occasionally require additional screening at sensitive security checkpoints.

What’s the typical lifespan of retractable badge reels in daily use?

Quality retractable badge reels withstand 50,000+ extensions with proper care. In typical workplace use with 20-30 daily scans, reels last 5-7 years before spring mechanisms weaken. Heavy use environments may require more frequent replacement. Premium reels feature replaceable cord extending product lifespan.

Can plastic attachments withstand Australian summer heat in vehicles?

Quality plastic attachments withstand typical Australian summer temperatures but avoid extended exposure to extreme vehicle interior heat. Prolonged exposure above 60°C may compromise plastic integrity. Store lanyards in cooler locations when not wearing to maximize attachment lifespan in hot Australian climates.

Are colored attachment options available for departmental identification?

Yes, colored plastic attachments enable visual departmental coding or access level designation. Common colors include black, blue, red, green and yellow.
