Buying The Right Personalized Ribbon Type

You have the perfect logo and the perfect personalization, but do you know what ribbon type you need to buy? This simple guide might be just the ticket to help you figure out which ribbon type you need. While we do have an idea gallery available for several ideas, sometimes you just need to know which type of ribbon is best for what type of project you have.

The most important bit of information is to figure out what ribbon type is going to suit your project best. We have three main ribbon types: rosettes, badge/promotional ribbons, and ribbon rolls.

Rosette Ribbons

Rosette ribbons are typically used to recognize achievements. They are perfect for fairs, festivals, contests, shows and more.

Badge/Promotional Ribbons

Badge ribbons help identify roles or rewards, or just break the ice when attached to a name badge. These are perfect for conventions, meetings and other events for which this type of identification is necessary.

Promotional ribbons are great for getting the word out for promoting a sale or event. Or you can use them for a “save the date” notification, bookmarks, gift tags or keepsakes.

Ribbon Rolls

These ribbons are probably the most versatile of the bunch. Use these ribbon rolls to promote a sale or event, decorations for a party or convention, product packaging or gift wrapping, floral arrangements, and more. Ribbon rolls are also very flexible as they come in different ribbon types, colors and sizes. Each type of ribbon comes in four sizes and at least 30 different colors; some even have over 100!

Satin Ribbon Rolls

This comes as single face, satin sheen on one side with matte finish on the other, or double face, satin sheen on both sides.

DYNA Floral Satin Ribbon Rolls

A soft floral ribbon with a slight satin sheen which is great for flowers or decorations for parties.

Grosgrain Ribbon Rolls

These are a heavily corded, or ribbed, the texture shows through any imprinting creating a unique look.

Organza Ribbon Rolls

Organza ribbons are translucent and light weight; these work well for product branding or wrapping.

Displaying Award Ribbons and Rosettes

It’s that time of year again when we are all receiving award ribbons. Whether it’s from a prize horse or dog show or just a recognition award, they sure come in hoards! So, what are we to do with all of them? Many suggestions have been offered over the years. In fact, if one was to browse Pinterest or equestrian show sites, others who have faced this problem are offering solutions. Here are a few of them.

Use each of your ribbons to create a one-of-a-kind wreath for your home. These can even be holiday themed or color coordinated.

Or, make something a little more homey, such as a pillow or quilt. While this idea may take a few more ribbons, there is no need to worry about where to get the extras you might need. Check out our outstanding collection on https://www.personalized-ribbons.com/rosette-award-ribbons.

If you want something a little easier, create a shadow box or custom frame to show off your hard earned, and well deserved, award ribbon. Or create a scrapbook using your award ribbons for the cover or inside as embellishments on the pages. Need a unique frame for that special show picture? Use the rosettes as a border or to update an old frame and give it new life.

And don’t forget that, especially if you don’t have enough ribbons to create one of these wonderful crafts, to visit our website for even more ideas and more custom ribbons.

Holiday Ribbon: Mother’s Day & Father’s Day

Two of the year’s most important holidays are right around the corner. While commercialism has successfully capitalized on Christmas, Halloween, Easter (especially with holiday ribbon) and many other holidays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day have yet to really hit that commercial mark. They have, however, given us a good sense of gifts that we can give to those we love and call our parents.

Finding that Perfect Gift

These gifts have such a large variety to them that the sky is the limit. We are here to help you wrap them. Grab up a custom ribbon roll and personalize it with your message. It can be a plain “Have A Great Day” to save from the actual specification of the day or, print a recipient’s name on it. The best thing about continuous holiday ribbon rolls is that they never seem to end. Your creative mind is the only limit here. We have combined several ideas into our “Idea Gallery” on our website; here we only offer a few.

Find your mom that perfect flower bouquet and make it extra special by wrapping the stems or vase with your custom holiday ribbon roll. Or give her a single flower for that simple statement of “I Love you, Mom.” A box of chocolates will look great when wrapped in a pretty bow that has the words “Happy Mother’s Day” printed on it. There are many ways to use holiday ribbon rolls for Father’s Day as well. Use the holiday ribbon to make your father a special tie card, or wrap up a present with your specialized message of love.

Holiday Ribbon for the Win!

Whatever your choice, remember to get your order in soon so that it arrives well before these holidays! This way, when it comes time, you’ll be ready with that wonderful, personalized surprise for that perfect parent in your life.
