Badge clips are the attachment devices that name tag, ID badge and name badge holders use to secure the badge to the person. They come in a variety of types including pins, clips and lanyards. When shopping for a badge clip you will want to take several things into consideration.
The first thing that you will want to take into consideration when shopping for badge clips is what you can afford. The most inexpensive badge clips tend to be pins. Next up in price are alligator clips. Finally, the most expensive badge clip is the lanyard. However, while prices are going to vary between badge clip types, the actual price difference is going to be negligible.
The next thing that you will want to take into consideration when shopping for badge clips is what is available in your market. Most office supply stores are generally going to carry the pin and alligator clip type badge kits. If you need to buy badge clips in a hurry you choices are going to be limited to what is available at your local office supply stores. If time is not a consideration, then you can shop through an online or mail order office supply store. This is going to give you the most options when it comes to badge clips.
The final thing that you will want to take into consideration when shopping for badge clips is what your attendees or employees expect and need. Pin badge clips are inexpensive and readily available in most markets. However, they can be difficult to secure, especially for older people or people with fine motor skill difficulties. The alligator clip is an affordable option for pin badge clips. They are easy to use, however, it may be difficult to find a place on a shirt or dress to clamp it on. The easiest to use badge clip is a lanyard. Lanyards have an alligator clip on one end to make attaching the ID badge simple, and a loop on the other end which slips easily over your head.
