Many items, for both personal and commercial reasons, look better when one simple product is added to them – a ribbon. A ribbon can complement or accent almost anything, like packages and bags, boxes, lapel pins, cakes, wedding gifts, awards, grand openings and much more. From awareness lapel pins to sporting events, these items can be used to accent or highlight an item, or they can be the item that is the centre of attention to begin with. They come in all colours, sizes and styles, and can be either printed or non-printed, solid and detailed, and small or large. Whatever they look like, a ribbon is the backbone of many designs and allows others to shine in a way they couldn’t without this all-important item. 
Uses for Ribbons
There are many situations in which a ribbon works wonders. This item comes in a variety of colours and styles, including:
- Single-sided and double-sided satin
- Sticky
- Grosgrain
- Cotton
- Organza
- Plastic
- Award
- Awareness lapel pins
- Raised print
- Grand opening
- Plain
Most companies that sell ribbons offer simple ways to order them, even if you need one that is custom-designed and includes your logo or company name. They can also match any colour you need, so the product is always guaranteed to match the colours used in any of your business cards or professional stationery. Grosgrain is an especially popular type of ribbon, because it is sturdy yet elegant and allows you to print almost anything on it. It is also meant to last a very long time, which is an extra advantage when purchasing the right ribbon for your needs.
Ribbons also come in a variety of sizes, from seven mm to 48mm in width, as well as other sizes, and most companies that offer them can imprint almost anything onto the ribbon you need. Often, you can simply email the company your artwork, and it will get to work immediately on your project.
Finding the Perfect Ribbon Company
Finding a company that offers these products should begin online, as most companies that offer them have comprehensive websites that allow you to view full-colour photographs of all their products. Most often, you can even order the products online, and the companies that offer them usually have fast turnaround times, reasonable prices and a very wide selection of colours and styles.
Often, when choosing a ribbon, many companies will allow you to receive a free sample of their product, so that you can make an informed decision regarding the one that will work best for you. There are usually minimum amounts to order, but these amounts are usually low and are appropriate for most of the businesses that order the products. In addition, many companies offer other products as well, such as tissue paper for gifts that comes in both solid and printed designs.
Whether you are creating a gift for someone, an award of some type or any other item needing a special touch, adding the perfect ribbon to it will make it look good and be more memorable for the recipient.
