Frequently Asked Questions
What color options are available for badge ribbons?
pc/nametag offers 37 ribbon colors ranging from classic business tones (like black, navy, burgundy) to bright convention favorites (such as hot pink, neon green, and purple). Match your brand colors, event theme, or just pick colors that pop. In-stock ribbons come in preset color combinations, while custom ribbons let you choose any ribbon and foil color combo from our full palette.
Which foil colors can you print on badge ribbons?
pc/nametag offers 16 foil colors for custom badge ribbons including metallics (i.e., gold, silver, copper), bold colors (i.e., red, blue, green, rainbow, etc.), and classic black and white.
What's the minimum order for custom badge ribbons?
Badge ribbon minimums start as low as 1 to 25, depending on the style. Most customers order in quantities of 100.
How long does it take to produce and ship custom badge ribbons?
In-stock ribbons ship the same day you order them (M-F by 5 p.m. CT). Custom badge ribbons typically take 4 business days for production after artwork approval, plus shipping or transit time to your location.
Can badge ribbons be customized with text or logos?
Yes, custom badge ribbons support detailed logos and fine-line graphics. For the best results, stick with bold logos, clean fonts, and simple graphics.
- Lines & Borders: Use at least a 0.75 pt stroke.
- Spacing: Maintain a minimum 0.75 pt gap between elements.
- Typography: Use a 6 pt font or larger.
Which printing method does pc/nametag use for custom badge ribbons?
Standard 1-color ribbons use foil stamping, which creates metallic, eye-catching shine. Full-color ribbons use dye-sublimation printing, which reproduces photographic quality images and unlimited colors.
Can I match my exact brand colors on badge ribbons?
We offer 37 ribbon colors and 16 foil colors to closely match or complement your branding. Full-color ribbons using dye-sublimation can match brand colors more precisely.
What's the difference between 1-color and full-color badge ribbons?
1-color ribbons have text and graphics printed in a single foil color on the ribbon. Our full-color ribbons use a digital printing process for edge-to-edge designs.
When should I choose 1-color badge ribbons?
Choose 1-color when you have simple text or only need a design in a single color. They're the most affordable custom option and look clean and professional for straightforward messaging.
