Our Products - Ribbon Impressions

Over 60 NEW Ribbon Colors!

Yup, that’s a lot of new ribbon colors! And it’s exciting to update and extend our product lines!

As ribbons continue to get more and more popular each year, the demand to keep up with trends is an ever-pressing issue. And, to keep up, we are always updating our ribbon colors.

Most of the time, these colors only change for our ribbon rolls, but sometimes it includes classic ribbons and rosette ribbons. For now, the color changes seem to only apply to our ribbon rolls.

Here is a short review of the all updates coming soon to the ribbon colors for ribbon rolls. (The added humor is from our talented graphic artist, Melanie Bunch!)

Single Face Satin: We added 21 new colors! And many of them are quite nice (a few are disgusting). None of the old colors went away, so we’re up to 123 glorious Single Face Satin ribbon colors! That quiet weeping you hear from our marketing department is Melanie trying to make the difference between “Mud Pie” and “Milk Chocolate” show up correctly on a computer screen.

Single Face Satin Fashion Colors: We added eight new colors! We removed four colors and upgraded them to the regular Single Face Satin color list. If you’re wondering what the difference is, “fashion colors” only come in 3/8″ ribbon width. Having those four colors move to the regular list means they are now available in the other widths as well. They must have been popular.

Double Face Satin: We added four neon colors and one bright blue!

All DYNA Satin colors will be staying the same.

Chiffon – Organza: We added 22 colors! This means they now have something known as “selection.” One thing to remember when looking at these color charts is that while that is the color, it doesn’t look like that. Since the ribbon is a fine see-through mesh, it generally will appear lighter in person than what you see on the chart.

Grosgrain: We added seven new colors! LaRosa, Blue, Copen, Neon Hot Pink, Neon Lime, Neon Yellow, Neon Tangerine.

Floral Satin Acetate: The shade of pink known as “Shock” is discontinued, but we added two new shades of purple! These new colors are “Purple” and “Plum.”

With ribbon colors constantly changing, we’ll keep this list as up-to-date as possible. Please always refer to the order pages on www.personalized-ribbons.com for ribbon color availability.

Custom Ribbon Definitions: Part 5

These definitions will provide the difference between stock items and custom items. And what you need to know about ordering each kind.

Most of our ribbon types (classic and rosette) come with two options. Custom and Stock. Sometimes, trying to figure out what you need can be a struggle.

We’ve already covered the following about ribbon text definitions:

Ribbon Titles
We often refer to ribbon titles for our pre-imprinted ribbons. A title is the word(s) that is imprinted on a ribbon. They are available as stock items on our website. Titles are words such as sponsor, president, staff, visitor or member. Each ribbon type we offer comes with varying available titles; see each order page for details. These ribbons are ready to ship the same day you place your order.

Custom Text
Most ribbons are also available with custom text. This means that instead of using pre-imprinted titles, you can provide your own text. This text can range from titles that you don’t see on the list to names or other messages. You can choose your own font and color to match your ribbon choice. Design each of these ribbons with or without a logo.

Stock Ribbons

From there, let’s cover what “stock” means. “Stock” refers to an item that is already imprinted with titles and text and will ship immediately for your use. Stock items are available as classic, badge and rosette ribbons. They have set colors when ordering. For example, the rosette place ribbon for “Grand Prize” is only available as a mustard color. And the “Special” rosette place ribbon is multicolor red, white and blue. Badge ribbons are typically available in two colors for each title.

Custom Ribbons

All “custom” ribbons are made specifically for one customer as per their order. Custom order all of our ribbons. This means that you can design your ribbon; whether it be a classic, rosette or ribbon roll; to meet your needs. Design them with names, dates, titles and sometimes full-color logos or graphics.

Here at Personalized Ribbons, we pride ourselves on having specific products for which our customers are looking. And, as part of this definitions series, we want to make sure that you understand what you’re getting. Having stock items means that you, as our loyal customers, get what you need and quickly. And by ordering those custom items, it means that you get exactly what you need. If we don’t seem to have what you’re looking for, please give us a call, and we’ll find something that works!

4 Ways Coller Industries Says Thank You

We’ve had another great year here at Coller Industries. 2016 brought a few changes, but they were all needed, and we have benefited from them greatly!

To start with, 2016 has seen our website www.personalized-ribbons.com go mobile and provide access to so many others that may have not seen it before. We are still working on getting our order pages live, but those are very short in coming!

Not only have we seen growth in our name tag inventory, but we’ve also seen it with our ribbon product line. These additions include some necessary ribbon color changes that seem to take place every year. We have also introduced a new stock badge ribbon with INTERN as the title. This is available in both horizontal and vertical formats. We had specific requests for this title, and we have been pleased with the results. We hope you are too!

As with previous years, we have also seen growth inside of our company. We have a new Customer Service Manger and a Senior Account Manager. Hannah and Aimee (respectively) are here to serve our customer’s every need. Of course, we still have the best customer service around to help anyone with their personal identification needs.

Due to some of our new products, our production and shipping department has seen an increase in our machinery. This includes a laminator as well as a new, fancy printer for our name tags. Production and shipping also do a fantastic job with making sure all customer orders are produced and shipped appropriately and promptly.

It was also recently announced at our annual employee Christmas party that our error rate is still under 1%! Here’s a quick review of our current year-to-date statistics:

Since January 1, 2016, Coller Industries has had a total of 122 errors coming from 31,694 orders total. Our overall error rate is 0.393%. This means that 1 in about every 255 orders may contain a mistake; great news for our customers!

Coller Industries would like to thank all of our wonderful customers for an outstanding year! You are the reason we are in business, and we want to acknowledge that. And with that thank you, we also wish you a wonderful and happy New Year!
