What is a badge clip?

A badge clip is an identification accessory designed to hold and secure visitor badges, name tags, or access cards. It is often used in workplaces such as schools, hospitals, businesses, and at conferences where attendees’ names need to be visible and easily accessible. Badge clips come in various styles and materials, but their primary function is to attach a badge to clothing, lanyards, or other identification accessories. Below are 2 examples.

What are the common features of and uses for a badge clip?

Features:

  • All badge clips have an attachment mechanism. Clips, such as bulldog clips or swivel clips, attach onto badge holder or clothing like shirts, pockets, or belts.

  • Identity badge clips are durable and can be reused many times. They are typically made of metal, plastic, or a combination of both for strength and longevity.
  • The plastic pivot clip doesn’t set off metal detectors, is easy to sanitize, and is more affordable than the strap clips.

Uses:

  • Keep identification visible for security purposes.
  • Provide easy access to show, swipe, or scan identification.
  • Offer a convenient way to carry IDs without damaging sensitive fabrics.
  • Identity badge clips are useful for playing a part in maintaining security in facilities such as hospitals, schools, government facilities, and businesses of all kinds.

Wearing a badge clip is simple and ensures your identification is visible and secure. Here’s how to do it:

1. Attach the Badge

  • If your badge has a hole or slot at the top, thread the strap clip through it, like the picture above on the left.
  • If using a badge holder or lanyard, secure the identity badge clip to the badge tag or holder.

2. Choose the Placement (options below)

  • Clip it to the edge of your pocket.
  • Secure the clip to the edge of your shirt collar or blazer lapel.

3. Position it Properly

The Red Flag feature has been improved! Now you can set your system to not print a badge for any visitor record that has been previously marked with a Red Flag. The attendant will be prompted to redirect the visitor according to your security protocol.

Special New Feature: Red Flag, No Badge

Flag alertsIt’s easy and free to activate this feature. Simply call us and ask for “Red Flag, No Badge” to be turned on. Once it’s on, the above pop-up will come up when a red flagged visitor comes back. No badge will print and the attendant will need to follow the facility’s policy for handling red flagged visitors.

The flags and notes only show to the desk attendant, not the visitor. 

Please contact eVisitor Support with any questions on how to use Flags in your system.
