  Ribbon displays are sold as individual units.  Ashore commands typically require only one display while ships will require two.  CVN, LHD, and LHA will sometimes only wish to display one board on the island.

  Number of displays required 

  Size of your displays is based on hull class of your ship.  Ashore commands have the flexibility to choose any of the 3 standard sizes we offer based on their needs.  Below is a list of hull classes for each size ribbon we offer.  This list is based on our past experience making ribbons for our customers.  If you prefer a different size, please feel free to choose the size you want to display.

Size of displays desired  

  The following designs are available to build your display.  Ultra Thin displays are made from 4mm aluminum composite material in a "welded frame" or fixed position.  Individual ribbons are  single ribbons that are placed next to each other by you to create the display.  

Ribbon design desired    

  Ultra Thin ribbons are made using 6mm Diebond (aluminum composite material) while individual ribbons are made using 3/16" thick acrylic or 4mm Diebond material.

Type of material desired 

  There are 3 basic installation methods used for installing ribbons.  Bolt on installation is for Ultra Thin ribbons and uses small tabs that extend 1" on six places on each board (2 on each end and 2 in the center).  Magnetic installation can be used on Ultra Thin or individual ribbons and . It uses either 4" diameter ceramic magnets or a sheet magnetic material bonded directly to the back of the display.  A very high bond DFT (Double Faced Tape) installation is also available for Ultra Thin and individual ribbons.

Installation method desired  

  Ultra Thin ribbons are available in mirrored or identical image format.  Mirrored image is when the second board is reversed in image.  This displays the Starboard side board in the proper order of precedence (only when viewed in reference to the ship from bow to stern)  It is a command preference that is offered at no additional cost.  Identical image is when both boards are made the same.

Image display preference  

    Price of your display is based on the number of ribbons.  All stars, attachments, and devices are provided at no additional cost.  We will arrange the ribbons list you provide in the proper order of precedence for your estimate.  Please provide a list of awards along with the number of awards your command is authorized to display/number of stars.  USCG commands should include the silver Operational "O" device found on Unit Commendation, CG MUC, and CG Meritorious Team Commendation if desired.
