About this CompanyID Wholesaler launched in early 2004 with simple goals: provide those seeking photo identification products with truly expert advice, an easy-to-use website, unmatched selection and pricing, and "tell-your-neighbors" type of customer service. More than 13 years and over 100,000 customers later, we’re still striving to do these things. We have grown to be the largest online retailer of photo identification equipment.
Why We're Successful
When you call ID Wholesaler, you speak with one of our friendly, highly-trained account managers. They’re not reading from a script or scrambling to look up specifications on your product, they know photo ID and will help you find the right product (not simply the most expensive product) to meet your needs.
Unlike virtually all of our competitors, we stock a huge selection of inventory and employ our own factory-trained technicians. We couldn't imagine selling photo ID equipment any other way. Ask your current supplier if they service their own products. Odds are they don't.
Our job is to make your job easier
Our highest value is to support our customers (you), and we're proud that our team has consistently received glowing testimonials. If you’re already a customer, thanks! If you’re visiting us for the first time, we hope to have an opportunity to "wow" you soon.

These are truly heavy duty badge reels.
Why IDW?
I used to buy the badges from here for another program.

We had similar ones and these seemed to be the closest match and they were perfect.

With these having a cable instead of the string they hold up better for the shop floor folks.

HRGeneralist - 11/13/2015
We had been using these reels for years as badge holders, but the last order of 200 reels was a complete bust. After about two weeks of use, the badge strap would pull from the reel cable making the badge reel useless. The cable would completely snap up into the reel and it had to be thrown away. This happened to almost all 200 of the reels. The manufacturer did work out a credit to buy something else. Disappointed that the quality dropped dramatically.

Our company struggled to find badge reels that would last. Our warehouse workers are rough on them, and would break cheaper ones quickly. These heavy duty reels, however, last much longer. Many of our staff use them to carry IDs, keys, and more. But the reel holds up well under heavy weight.

Use this badge reel in a manufacturing environment where employees clock in and out of work orders. Steel wire and metal belt clip make this badge reel very durable.

If you like receiving unsolicited emails CONSTANTLY, even when you ask them to stop, sure... buy something from idwholesaler. SUCK.

Reels are used for ID cards and bar code scans. Are used frequently during a shift. Had problems w/ string breaking on previous model used. So far, these are holding up great!

Ehren T - 06/04/2012
We've gone through about 300 of these in the past 6 months which is surprising considering how durable they are. I think people are taking them home for their kids to play with. It is pretty hypnotic to pull out the reel and let it go back in and pull out the reel and let it go back in and pull out the reel and let it go back in and pull out the reel and let it go back in and pull out the reel and let it go back in.

Our company uses the Wire Badge Reel for Proximity Cards. They are well liked and used because they stay clipped to your belt, pocket, waistband, or whatever you are clipping it to. It doesn't come off while taking on and off a seat belt. It won't jab into your waistline when in a sitting position. The only down side is the weight. Sometimes it pulls my slacks down a bit on one side.

Keesag - 08/31/2011
This reel is standard issue with our badge holders, we switched to this reel because of inferior reels constantly breaking. No reels have ever broken or been defective. These are definately durable.

Hollywoodhiggins - 06/01/2011
I use these badges for crafts I make. They are made very sturdy and last for ever. I have nothing bad to say about these badges. I will be ordering more when I need them. Excellent product.

Rod - 01/29/2010
Use these for keycards. Pull it about 50 times a day. I have never had a problem. My old string ones would break about every month.

the S - 12/02/2009
I like the product but it is too weak at the wire cord where it meets at the strap.

Jay C - 08/31/2009
I have a user that goes through the normal badge reels literally once every 3 weeks. He looked this new one over and said this looks pretty heavy duty, it might last a while. He is going into his second week and it is going strong.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
