100 Yards of Ribbon & What to Do with It All

what would you do with 100 yards of ribbon with multiple ribbon roll types

100 yards of ribbon = 300 feet = 3600 inches

Wow! That’s a lot!

If you are hosting a significant event like a national conference or a large convention, the answer to using 100 yards of ribbon is easy. However, using all of the ribbon might seem daunting if you order ribbons for a smaller occasion, such as a department party or small corporate meeting. While the ribbon will last a long time, you may not have a way to store it.

Now the question is, how do you use all 100 yards of ribbon?

We offer two different types of ribbon rolls: continuous print and favor printing. All of our rolls come with 100 yards of ribbon. So, here are some fabulous ideas for using that roll up to the last inch!

Continuous Printing

Repeated text and logos along 100 yards of ribbon roll

Imagination is the only limitation when using your logo and text imprinted in a continuous print along the entirety of 100 yards of ribbons. While the imprinting process may limit the graphic or logo and text you can use on the ribbon, the continuous printing allows for multiple uses for your ribbons.

Gift Bows, Single Use Shoelaces and Awareness Ribbons

From corporate gifting to small individual presents, bows will make any gift more personal. And with custom ribbons, this personality increases. Small bows, like a simple gift bow, typically take about 20 inches of ribbon. Large gift bows can take up to 48 inches of ribbon to make. With these calculations, your 100 yards of ribbon will make approximately 75 large bows.

Making shoelaces for a corporate event can be fun. The standard lengths vary per shoe (depending on how many eyelets the shoe has). The average length is about 60 inches, meaning you can lace nearly 30 pairs of shoes. That should be enough to outfit a small office with a fun and unique way of showing off your brand at your next corporate meeting. (Please note that if used more than once, the imprinting will start to rub off.)

Awareness ribbons are a great way to use all of that ribbon roll and are perfect for showing support or collecting donations. With continuous roll printing, you can control where the printing will occur and use the 100 yards to its best advantage. You should cut each ribbon to about nine inches for three inch awareness ribbons. This will make your roll last for about 400 ribbons! Think about all the support you can show with that many ribbons.

Favor Printing

Print text and logos so they only show on the ends of a cut strip.

This ribbon type is just as useful as continuous printing. Favor printing provides a large gap between the text and logo. They are easily tied around something but you can still see the imprinted information.

Favors, Single End Awareness Ribbons and Party Decorations

If you are giving away door prizes or gifts to every person who attends your event, these ribbons are here to do you a favor (pun intended)! Using ribbons with favor printing, you can easily tie them around goody bags and other quick gifts to give attendees. Wrap them around a bag full of candy and cut the ribbons so that only the ends show printing. This effect highlights your messaging on the ribbon ends and lets your guests quickly remember where they got the present.

Each favor printed ribbon section will vary depending on what it is tied to. On average, if you use 18 inches per ribbon you will get about 200 strips total. This includes two tails with six inches of imprint and the six inch blank space between them. While these measurements will not fit every project, you can use the approximations for many things.

For example, if you tie the ribbons around votive candles, you need approximately 28 inches per candle. Setting up this ribbon length should include the minimum of the blank six inches between text, up to six inches of imprinting and a small, two inch bow. This will yield about 128 candle holders.

So, when you think about it, 100 yards of ribbon is easily used for any event!

While both ribbon types can be used for party decorations, favor printing gives the finished product a cleaner look. When tying a continuous print ribbon around something, your text will show all the way around and go into the knot and bow. Favor printing gives the look of a neat, clean bow. You can trim the ribbon with the text only showing at the ends. Even if the object you are tying the ribbon around is bigger, you can manipulate it to display the text exactly where you need it.

Decorating Your Office & Corporate Gifting

Did you know that the rules that apply to decorating your office also apply to corporate gifting?

From wrapping to branding, custom ribbons are perfect for decorating. You have heard it from us before, custom ribbons are essential for the holidays. And you have also heard that corporate gifting is a must for nearly every business. So, the key to maintaining these necessary relationships is remembering to customize your ribbons with the right information.

But, although you may have been giving back to your clients for many years, you may not know all there is to corporate gifting. So, here are some helpful hints when considering your corporate gifting (and decorating) this year.

We’ve said it before, don’t forget about proper marketing and branding.

There are many reasons for corporate gifting that range from thanking customers for their business to recognizing employees for outstanding work. But, the primary goal seems always to be the same. It is to sustain relationships and deepen the personal connection between the giver and the recipient.

Most companies agree that this fundamental reason is an opportunity to share your holiday cheer, connect with your clients and strengthen employee ties. Recruiting, retention and development are three other great reasons to give a corporate gift.

But, what does that have to do with decorating your office for the holidays? Well, that branded ribbon you now have lying around after wrapping all your corporate gifts is the perfect solution!

Use your leftover ribbon rolls to wrap up your office for the holidays. From the front reception desk to office doors, don’t leave anything without a bit of cheer attached. Make fun, festive bows to attach to the top of computers and hang on the wall. Or, cut little strips as table scatter for the luncheon you surely have planned to celebrate the holiday with your colleagues.

Don’t limit yourself to ribbon rolls. Grab some badge ribbons left from your last conference and start handing them out. They are great for bookmarks and other decorating around your office or store. Or, hang a fancy rosette ribbon on a door instead of a wreath!

And, remember that it isn’t always about the newest tech gadget or the latest candy fad.

Sometimes, the most memorable gift you can give is something personalized. From a fancy new name plate to custom award plaques, we have that unique gift for that special individual. And, once you choose the perfect corporate gift, keep your decorating perfect with custom branded ribbons!

Marketing Ribbons & Why You Need Them

From logos to company names, product marketing ribbons are a must for any business.

Custom marketing ribbons are a great way to advertise your product or services. These ribbons are used to add decorations to packaging or promote a new product. And, when you add custom text and company logos, marketing takes on a whole new level. Here are some useful ideas to get you started with product ribbons.

Boxes & Bags

From gifts to giveaways, custom ribbons have been around for a while. And they are easy to use with a box or bag. Simply wrap a length of custom ribbon roll around a product box to show off your corporate branding. Or, attach a bow or badge ribbon to a bag to explain what your product is to your consumer.

But, no matter the ribbon type, custom ribbons are genuinely perfect for wrapping. However, here is a new idea: try a rosette ribbon to add some class. Did you know you can customize the button in the center of the rosette? Add your logo or a graphic that represents your company.

Flowers & Food

Roses, daisies and cookies all look great wrapped in custom ribbons. Add personalized marketing ribbons to your fresh products for a unique look. You can even add printing describing your product to these ribbons. Your custom ribbon rolls can read Chocolate Chip or Long Stem, White depending on what you are selling.

Or, wrap a bouquet with custom ribbon stating your company name and logo, so your customers know where to return when they need more flowers. And, by adding custom text or logos to baked goods, your branding will bring in new customers as they see others consuming your products. So, never underestimate the power of marketing ribbons!

Accessories & Apparel

Use badge ribbons or ribbon rolls to find a creative way to display earrings, sweaters and more at your store. From a local boutique to a larger chain store, customize a ribbon to meet your needs. Personalized ribbons create an appealing presentation for any product. Marketing ribbons help attract needed attention to your products, and they will also increase brand recognition.

Local & Large

It doesn’t matter if you work at a large chain store or your local farmer’s market, these ribbons are for everyone. Remember that when it comes to proper branding to choose coordinating colors, text and logos. And, make sure to pick the right ribbon for your need.

So, whether it’s a shoebox from a big brand name or a bouquet from a small, local shop, product marketing ribbons are sure to help you get your sales up!

Business Ribbons: Holiday Use Guide

Did you know that business ribbons benefit all companies during the holidays?

Whether you own a small, online business or are a manager at a large chain store, holiday business ribbons are a great tool to keep around. But, finding the right ribbon can be a challenge sometimes. From tying bows to decorating your office or store, holidays are meant to be synonymous with ribbons! And, we are here to make your business ribbons a bit easier to use.

While it may seem easy to come up with ideas for ribbon use, some holidays can be a bit daunting, especially when it comes to business ribbons. When thinking about Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holidays toward the end of each year, here are a few quick ideas to get your creativity going.

Halloween

From fun greeting ribbons at the front door to goodies for trick-or-treaters, personalized business ribbons are perfect for any store or office on Halloween. Use badge ribbons as gift tags on treats for employees, customers and other visitors you might have. Or, use custom top ribbons to announce your Halloween office party. Is your company having a costume contest? Rosette ribbons are perfect for that first prize winner.

Veterans Day

Use your business ribbons for remembrance and awareness ribbons on this unique holiday. While most people don’t think about how a business can use ribbons for Veterans day, here are some great ideas. Hold a sale for those who have served. Give everyone a badge ribbon as they enter your store with information on how to get a veteran’s discount on your goods or services. Or, give a gift to each veteran shopping today that is tied with your custom business ribbons.

Thanksgiving

From potluck labels to being thankful for a job well done, personalized ribbons are perfect for Thanksgiving. Use rosette ribbons for awards around the office and to show how much you appreciate your colleagues. Custom ribbon rolls are perfect to decorate your office or store and keep everyone in a festive and happy mood.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Whether you’re an e-commerce company celebrating with a sale or a storefront with a larger on-site event, these two days are probably your most significant events of the year. And, business ribbons are here to help with these celebrations. Give gifts to the first 100 customers in your store or on your website that day and tie them shut with a personalized ribbon bow. Or attach a badge ribbon with your logo as a reminder of where they got their product from. If you have a storefront, hold a raffle using blank badge ribbons the customers can write on.

Hanukkah, Christmas & Kwanzaa

Do you have a goody basket sitting on the receptionist’s desk for anyone who walks in the front door? Give your visitors an extra special treat with a gorgeous ribbon bow tied to the basket. Pick out a ribbon color that matches your office decor, or choose one that goes with your corporate logo.

But no matter how you use ribbons for this holiday, one thing should always be on your mind. Keep it light and festive, and make sure to include everyone. From office and corporate gifts to company parties, ribbons are perfect for these occasions.

New Years

Celebrate your employees and the new year with custom business ribbons. Give personalized awards to colleagues who have outstanding job performance. Or, have people write on blank ribbons to make predictions about what will happen in the coming year and then read them aloud in each department.

No matter where and when you use your business ribbons, always remember to keep them simple and keep your branding on point!
