Stamp Options For Imprinted Ribbons

All imprinted ribbons are made by transferring metallic or pigment (matte/gloss colored) foils to a ribbon's surface at high temperatures. To do this, a stamp is heated and the ribbon is placed beneath it. The foil is inserted between the two and the stamp presses down, transferring text and images. These stamps are changed for every ribbon title. We offer two options for these stamps: metal and polymer.

We do not recommend mixing the different stamp options on the same order as the differences in the two products are noticeable. When ordering both stock and custom titles, be aware that all stock titles are printed using metal stamps.

Polymer Stamps

Good quality, simple imprinting that is best for 24-point or larger text.

Corners may be slightly rounded, and smaller areas like the inside of an "A" may fill in.

7 imprint colors; silver and gold are recommended and are the most popular choices.

$11.25 set-up fee for each title

3 to 5 business days for production

Smaller quantities (as few as one per title)

Metal Stamps

Superior quality imprinting that captures smaller text and details.

Clean sharp edges and corners, the imprint is more resistant to coming off.

11 imprint colors

$30.00 set-up fee for each title

4 to 7 business days for production
