Rosette Center: Choosing the rosette center is as important as selecting the rosette itself. The center is where your logo/design is placed. If you want your logo/design printed in traditional foil, choose a rim center or satin finish center. If you want your logo/design in full color, a button or birchwood center may be the way to go. You can select any stock or custom design that best represents the event or achievement. If you do not have or want a design in the center, you can leave it blank or select a mum center or stock birchwood center. Our rim center and button centers are the most popular choice.

Rosette Color: Another vital consideration is the color of the rosette. The color of the ribbon could also be chosen based on the purpose of the award. For instance, blue is frequently used for first place, red for second, and yellow for third. You may also want to consider the color scheme of your event or organization. It could be bright and eye-catching to make the recipient feel special. We offer 43 satin ribbon colors to choose from, including rainbow, red, white & blue, and 2-tone. You can add one of our stock multicolor side streamers to your rosettes to get even more creative.

Streamer Length: Customize your rosettes further with streamer length options to enhance visibility and presentation. Streamers ranging from 12 inches to 36 inches are available at an additional cost, allowing you to tailor the ribbon's overall size to match the scale and prestige of your event.

Print Color: Additionally, you can choose the color of your printing to make your award rosettes stand out. We offer 11 vibrant foil colors for our rosettes, and you can get creative and choose different print colors for your award rosettes. Gold is our standard.

Printing: You may also choose to have the ribbons printed with text or images. This is an excellent way to personalize the ribbon and make it more meaningful to the recipient.

Rosette Back: The rosette back is available in several different options, including hook or bridle back, string back, and pin back. Our standard is the hook back, but you can select any of these other options at no additional cost.
