What's the difference between rosette ribbons and flat ribbons?

Rosette ribbons feature pleated fabric arranged in a circular pattern with streamers, creating a more elaborate and traditional look. Flat ribbons are simpler, single-layer ribbons that lie flat against surfaces. Rosettes are often used for more formal competitions, such as blue ribbons for first place, while flat ribbons work well for participation awards.

Can award ribbons be washed or cleaned if they get dirty?

Most award ribbons should be spot-cleaned only with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaners, as this can cause the fabric to fray. For valuable or sentimental award ribbons, consider professional cleaning or protective display cases.

How should I store award ribbons to prevent damage?

Store ribbons flat in acid-free boxes or hanging on ribbon display racks away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding them, as this can create permanent creases. Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage and fading.

Are award ribbons appropriate for adult competitions and events?

Absolutely! There are ribbons for many adult contexts, including soccer ribbons and basketball ribbons with numbers. Whether celebrating achievements in events like art shows, county fairs, wine competitions, dog shows, or corporate recognition programs, ribbons mark important accomplishments. The key is selecting appropriate designs and avoiding overly juvenile graphics.

Wonderful graphic, fabric not so great

Very pleased overall with my Trump mourning armband and the wonderful red block letters. But after only a week or so of wear - you got it to me so fast - the fabric is already fraying. I had some other armbands from you guys about six years ago and don't remember this happening. And that is only one so maybe I just happened to start wearing one that was prone to unraveling

Very nice

Great product shipped timely.

Quick service, nice ribbons

I was shocked out how quickly these arrived. Needed them in 4 days and they arrived in 2.

Ribbon Armband

This armband was purchased to remember a student that passed away just a few weeks ago who was to graduate next week. The armbands are high quality and reflect the memory of this person whom we loved. The order was shipped in a timely manner and the customer service team were wonderful.

Armband velcro glue failed on most of them, due to hot weather, and sweat.

The design was great, but many fell off the arms due to the hot weather.

Perfect for honoring lost loved one
