Unlike name tag ribbons which are primarily used to provide information, rosette ribbons are most often used as award ribbons. Typically, rosette ribbons are awarded at competitions as prize ribbons, often as a place ribbon for a particular event or category. Our rosette ribbons consist of three primary parts: the outside ribbon folding pattern (style), the ribbon center, and the ribbon streamer. We offer a variety of styles, center styles/designs, and a number of streamers/lengths.

We offer two convenient ways for you to place an order: by phone (800-272-5729) or online. Due to the complex nature of the rosette ribbons, ordering by phone is most likely the easier method of the two. By phone, you can speak with one of our customer service representatives who can answer your questions, help you put together an order, and can provide you with an accurate quote. Online, you can view various samples, check out the prices and production times, as well as place an order. Please note, online orders will not generate a price.

Unlike our name tags or other products, rosette ribbons can be modified significantly and still be counted as the same layout, which allows you to maintain your quantity discounts. Due to these vast number of customization possibilities, along with specific pricing that may or may not be associated with each of these options, we've removed the price quote function from our online ordering forms to avoid overpricing your order. While the online order forms won't generate a price, the forms do list the various costs associated with each option, providing you with an idea of what the price will be. After you've completed the online order form, we'll receive an Internet invoice of your exact order, which will allow us to contact you with an accurate quote.

By default, every rosette order includes one layout -- this layout is where you design your first rosette design. Anytime you need to make any changes to this first design, a new layout is needed. Adding additional layouts does not automatically add a cost; however, depending on the desired change, there may be an additional cost for that change. Our online ordering form allows up to 6 layouts, but you may set up as many layouts as you'd like -- simply give us a call and speak with a customer service representative.

Yes – we have over 250 different stock images, with designs in categories such as Sports, Animals, Religion, Organizations and more. In addition to our stock images, we also offer various printed titles, including: “CHAMPION", “BEST IN SHOW”, “FIRST”, “SECOND”, “THIRD” and more. Any of these designs/titles may be used free of charge on your first layout – there is a $3.00 charge to change the center design from layout to layout.

Yes – you may use your own custom text or logo/image on the rosette centers. Custom text have a $20.00 setup cost if your order has less than a quantity of 200.

Custom images/logos can either be hot-stamped (gold rim center) or full color printed (button center). Full color printed logos have no setup costs or minimum quantities; hot-stamped logos have a $60.00 setup charge and an additional $20.00 setup cost if the quantity is less than 200.

A metal die is an etched imprint of your design that is used to hot-stamp your logo or text when a custom image/logo or excessive text is needed for your rosette ribbon design. The cost of a metal die ranges from $60.00 to $220.00 depending on the size of your design, and is required for a custom gold rim center design and when the ribbon text exceeds 14 lines of print. Your die will be kept in our files for 3 years; each time you reorder using your die, the 3 years is renewed.

Yes – each set of text changes requires a new layout. After you’ve designed your first layout, you may replace up to 4 lines of text for each additional layout. There is a $2.00 line change charge for each line that is replaced.

The default imprint color is gold foil, unless specified otherwise.

Our metallic colors include: Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Orange, Bronze, Black, Teal, Pink, Gold, Silver and Rainbow. Our non-metallic colors include: Blue, Red, Yellow, Black, Maroon and White.

We cannot match PMS colors in foil, but the Full Color process allows for close PMS matching on multi-color ribbons.

Yes – a design proof is included with every rosette order. The design proof will provide you with a visual representation of your rosette design. If any changes to the design need to be made, you may make the revisions on the proof and resend/refax it to us. The standard proof creation time is 2 business days, and production will not begin until we receive a signed proof from you, approving the design.

The stock price of each rosette ribbon depends on the style and quantity. The base prices for the Ideal Style are (quantity of 10): 3 streamer: $4.16, 2 streamer $4.06, and 1 streamer $3.96. The Duxbury single streamer starts at $3.72. The base price includes a stock center design, one layout, and up to 10 lines of print.

The standard production time for a stock designed rosette ribbon is 6 business days. If a metal die is needed (gold rim center) for a custom design or for excessive text, an additional 4 business days are added to the total production time – increasing the total time to 10 business days. Expedite options are available to reduce production times; however, the 4 days to create a metal die can’t be expedited. Production will not begin until you’ve signed and returned your design proof.

Currently, we offer two styles of rosettes: the Ideal Style and the Duxbury Style. The measurements are the same for each style, and are as follows:

Ribbon Dimensions:

Rosette Diameter: 4 Inches Streamer Length: 9 Inches Total Rosette Height: 12 Inches (Measured from Top to Bottom)

Imprint Dimensions:

Gold Rim Center: 1.65 Inches Button Center: 2 Inches Maximum Streamer Width Imprint: 1.75 Inches

By default, there are no setup costs for a rosette order. However, depending on your specific design, there may be additional charges that are required. Below is a list of the most frequent setup costs:

$20.00 – Orders with a minimum quantity less than 25
$20.00 – Gold Rim Custom Text Design (If minimum quantity is less than 200)
$20.00 – Gold Rim Custom Image/Logo Design (If minimum quantity is less than 200)
$60.00 – Gold Rim Custom Image/Logo Design (Metal Die)
$60.00 - $220 – Metal Die (When lines of print exceed 14 lines)

There is a minimum quantity of 10 for each rosette order. However, if your order is below 25 ribbons (total), you will be charged a $20.00 small order fee.

In general, it is less expensive to order 25 rosettes and pay the extra per unit cost than paying the $20.00 setup cost for ordering less than 25 ribbons.
