There are so many creative projects out there for ribbons! What happens to these projects when you add a bit of personalization?

Too often we’ve all seen personalized and custom ribbons used in the same boring ways. Now, that isn’t to say that using these wonderful ribbons in traditional ways is wrong, but today we’d like to explore the less known. Let’s look at a few ways we can add some extra pizzazz to your custom ribbons!

Yes, there is the age-old wrapping with ribbon that has a custom message. And traditionally these are given during the holidays. But they aren’t the only reason to have personalized ribbons around. So, what else can you do with personalized ribbons?

Let’s flow with the holiday theme for a moment!

How about personalized ornament projects? Look how great these are by adding a special holiday message to them! And don’t stick with Christmas. These are great for the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day or Easter holidays. Use them as decorations all year round!

Other great holiday ribbon projects include: seasonal and holiday wreaths and greeting cards! Again, don’t limit yourself to the traditional Christmas stuff. These are both great projects for birthdays, anniversaries and any other special occasion throughout the year.

Truly, personalized ribbons make everything better!

What about children’s toys? When was the last time your little one asked for a fairy wand? While traditionally these are used for weddings or May Day activities, any child would love running around with their name on ribbons streaming behind them! And don’t limit it to names. Make them as personalized as you want! From choosing a child’s favorite color to imprinting a special message, these make a unique gift and toy for almost anyone.

DIY jewelry and accessories are great projects for personalized ribbons. From bracelets with someone’s name to necklaces and even shoelaces or hair bows, let your imagination soar!

Don’t forget the rosettes and classic ribbons!

Do you have a plethora of award ribbons from 4-H clubs and equestrian shows? Make an enchanting pillow or blanket to show them off. While we don’t have a tutorial, there are many people out there that will help you accomplish this great task. And, they look great to have on your bed or a couch where people can congratulate you on a job well done!

Classic ribbons are perfect for many projects too! Make your own custom bookmarks with your favorite quote or saying. Include simple graphics or design your own. These are great to share at your next book club meeting or to give to a group of friends.

No matter what your next project is, make it stand out with personalized ribbons!

Over 60 NEW Ribbon Colors!

Yup, that’s a lot of new ribbon colors! And it’s exciting to update and extend our product lines!

As ribbons continue to get more and more popular each year, the demand to keep up with trends is an ever-pressing issue. And, to keep up, we are always updating our ribbon colors.

Most of the time, these colors only change for our ribbon rolls, but sometimes it includes classic ribbons and rosette ribbons. For now, the color changes seem to only apply to our ribbon rolls.

Here is a short review of the all updates coming soon to the ribbon colors for ribbon rolls. (The added humor is from our talented graphic artist, Melanie Bunch!)

Single Face Satin: We added 21 new colors! And many of them are quite nice (a few are disgusting). None of the old colors went away, so we’re up to 123 glorious Single Face Satin ribbon colors! That quiet weeping you hear from our marketing department is Melanie trying to make the difference between “Mud Pie” and “Milk Chocolate” show up correctly on a computer screen.

Single Face Satin Fashion Colors: We added eight new colors! We removed four colors and upgraded them to the regular Single Face Satin color list. If you’re wondering what the difference is, “fashion colors” only come in 3/8″ ribbon width. Having those four colors move to the regular list means they are now available in the other widths as well. They must have been popular.

Double Face Satin: We added four neon colors and one bright blue!

All DYNA Satin colors will be staying the same.

Chiffon – Organza: We added 22 colors! This means they now have something known as “selection.” One thing to remember when looking at these color charts is that while that is the color, it doesn’t look like that. Since the ribbon is a fine see-through mesh, it generally will appear lighter in person than what you see on the chart.

Grosgrain: We added seven new colors! LaRosa, Blue, Copen, Neon Hot Pink, Neon Lime, Neon Yellow, Neon Tangerine.

Floral Satin Acetate: The shade of pink known as “Shock” is discontinued, but we added two new shades of purple! These new colors are “Purple” and “Plum.”

With ribbon colors constantly changing, we’ll keep this list as up-to-date as possible. Please always refer to the order pages on www.personalized-ribbons.com for ribbon color availability.

Custom Ribbon Definitions: Part 5

These definitions will provide the difference between stock items and custom items. And what you need to know about ordering each kind.

Most of our ribbon types (classic and rosette) come with two options. Custom and Stock. Sometimes, trying to figure out what you need can be a struggle.

We’ve already covered the following about ribbon text definitions:

Ribbon Titles
We often refer to ribbon titles for our pre-imprinted ribbons. A title is the word(s) that is imprinted on a ribbon. They are available as stock items on our website. Titles are words such as sponsor, president, staff, visitor or member. Each ribbon type we offer comes with varying available titles; see each order page for details. These ribbons are ready to ship the same day you place your order.

Custom Text
Most ribbons are also available with custom text. This means that instead of using pre-imprinted titles, you can provide your own text. This text can range from titles that you don’t see on the list to names or other messages. You can choose your own font and color to match your ribbon choice. Design each of these ribbons with or without a logo.

Stock Ribbons

From there, let’s cover what “stock” means. “Stock” refers to an item that is already imprinted with titles and text and will ship immediately for your use. Stock items are available as classic, badge and rosette ribbons. They have set colors when ordering. For example, the rosette place ribbon for “Grand Prize” is only available as a mustard color. And the “Special” rosette place ribbon is multicolor red, white and blue. Badge ribbons are typically available in two colors for each title.

Custom Ribbons

All “custom” ribbons are made specifically for one customer as per their order. Custom order all of our ribbons. This means that you can design your ribbon; whether it be a classic, rosette or ribbon roll; to meet your needs. Design them with names, dates, titles and sometimes full-color logos or graphics.

Here at Personalized Ribbons, we pride ourselves on having specific products for which our customers are looking. And, as part of this definitions series, we want to make sure that you understand what you’re getting. Having stock items means that you, as our loyal customers, get what you need and quickly. And by ordering those custom items, it means that you get exactly what you need. If we don’t seem to have what you’re looking for, please give us a call, and we’ll find something that works!
