Custom Ribbons and What You Should Know

Your business can be more creative in using marketing tactics. For example, creating products with a wide color variety or upgrade product photography to be more suitable to your audience. Or develop creative marketing campaigns that make your business stand out against the competition. But, one of the best ways to be more creative is through custom ribbons.

Let’s start with the question, “What is a ribbon?”

A ribbon is a narrow, woven strip or band of fine material which is finished off on all edges. Different types of fabrics fashion each ribbon. The most common are organza, satin and polyester. These materials are frequently used for ornaments, decorations, bow tying and accessories.

Badge Ribbons

People use badge ribbons in workplaces, events and conferences. Stock badge ribbons can be attached to name tags to indicate more about a person. Or use custom badge ribbons for when it is needed to indicate more than what the stock ribbons provide, such as custom titles. Whether it is vertical or horizontal text, be creative and say whatever is needed. To draw attention, include custom graphics, such as a logo.

Like the ribbon rolls, we have full color badge ribbons that are the most customizable. Add nearly any background, text and graphics! These are the most colorful badge ribbons, as there is more control over the ribbon design.

If none of these ribbon option works, simply order a blank badge ribbon and add any text needed. These badge ribbons are available in vertical or horizontal orientations.

Rosette Ribbons

When thinking of award ribbons, rosettes are what are typically what comes to mind for most people. Use stock rosettes to indicate award winners; from honorable mention to grand prize winners. They come with different center buttons to display victory torches, places, stars, gymnastics or swimming.

Custom rosette ribbons are for any occasion where you need to show appreciation to winners and participants. They are the perfect ribbon for awards and recognition. Customize these rosette ribbons from the streamers, rosettes, center designs, center styles and text.

Custom Top Ribbons

Often used for sales, promotions, brand identity building and special events, custom top ribbons are extremely creative as they are printed in full color. Customize each ribbon with edge to edge printing, including graphics, logos, text and photographic images. In addition, they come in several top styles, such as squared, pointed, hemmed and pinked.
