Magnetic Thin Ribbons - Military Thin Ribbons

1. Magnetic Thin Ribbons Magnetic Thin Ribbons – – Military Thin Ribbons Military Thin Ribbons When it comes to updating your military thin ribbons and honors, there are many companies to choose from in the military. Some people like standard slide-on ribbons, while others prefer the design of thin ribbon racks. However, a new ribbon rack option on the market is sweeping the military community. Magnetic Thin Ribbons - Three Differences The difference between the three choices is that with classic slide-on ribbon racks, you buy your military awards, attachments, and ribbon bar individually. These forms of military ribbons are most often purchased and sold in your local Exchange or PX and are easily accessible to all service members. They are normally manufactured by one or two renowned industrial corporations and disseminated to all military bases across the world.

2. The thin ribbon racks are a little different in that they are an all-in-one component that is cemented together and positioned as the ribbon bar on a clear, thin plexiglass. Because the military thin ribbon racks are all one piece, they cannot be readily replaced or updated like regular slide-on ribbons. When you need to upgrade a thin ribbon rack, you must return the complete ribbon rack to the firm from where you purchased it, and they will update it for you. The catch is that owing to the placement or order of precedence of the ribbon, you may not be able to update your thin ribbon racks merely by replacing one ribbon. Unlike traditional slide-on military ribbons and awards, where if you have a subsequent award and need a start attachment or an oak leaf cluster, you can pick it up off the shelf and attach it to your ribbon rack, companies making military thin ribbons require you to pay to ship your ribbons back to the company so they can secure the subsequent award, and then you will pay for shipping to get them delivered back to you. When you wish to replace a ribbon on a thin ribbon rack, you will almost always need to buy a completely new ribbon rack because it is one piece. This might quickly become quite expensive, given they are not cheap, to begin with. The advantage of thin ribbon racks over regular slide-on racks is that thin ribbon racks provide a more professional appearance due to the thinness of the ribbons. Each ribbon is wrapped and fastened around a thin plastic bar, bonded to a thin plastic backdrop. A thin ribbon is just around 2 mm thick, but a standard ribbon with a ribbon bar is about 5-6 mm thick. Another distinguishing aspect of thin ribbon racks is that, unlike standard military ribbon bars, thin ribbons can be ordered with a magnetic backing rather than a pin back. This is useful for people who wish to use magnets to attach military thin ribbons to their shirts, allowing them to be moved about and positioned correctly according to the uniform instructions. If you put a pin backing on your ribbon bar, you will have to poke holes in your uniform until the ribbon bar is just perfect. Unless you utilize a Pin-iT Card, a stainless steel uniform tool that lets you precisely measure where your ribbons need to go, the chances of having your ribbon bar put correctly are quite slim. This brings me to our third type of military ribbons, which mixes traditional ribbons with thin ribbons to provide you with the ideal ribbon rack while allowing you to purchase only the ribbons you require. Magic Rack is the name of this ribbon bar. Pin-iT created this magnetic thin ribbon rack. The magnetic thin rack's defining characteristic is that not only do you have the choice of using a magnetic backer on your ribbon bar instead of a pin and clutch, but the entire ribbon rack is made up of individual magnetic military ribbons! Yes, each ribbon is wrapped around a highly strong magnet and may be purchased separately, exactly like a typical slide-on ribbon. All of the magnetic thin ribbons are then arranged on a thin, flat, magnetic metal ribbon bar, which you

They're the same thickness as military thin ribbons, yet they work like a standard slide-on ribbon. When you need to replace a ribbon, simply visit the Pin-iT website, choose the ribbon and attachment you want, and they will mail it to you. You are not required to return the ribbons to Pin-iT. It is more cost-effective to have the look and feel of thin ribbons with this sort of magnetic ribbon. Conclusion When asked about the magnetic thin ribbons we learned that when you purchase a magnetic thin ribbon rack you get two sets of ribbons. This is due to the magnet's polarity. Give the customer a superior product and to make it easier for updating we give the customer a pair of ribbons. The north and South poles of the magnets. So essentially, when you order one magnetic thin ribbon rack from Pin-iT Military Uniform Tools you are receiving two military ribbon racks, and for anyone in the military dealing with uniforms, having a second set of ribbons is always a good idea. So, for those of you out there thinking about updating your military thin ribbons and awards, a great option that combines traditional military ribbons with the sleek look of thin ribbons would be Pin-iT's Ribbon Rack Builder, Magnetic Thin Ribbons.
