Military Ribbons
The History of Ribbons
Prior to the twentieth century, military decorations were typically given in the form of medals. The origin of thin style military ribbons date back as far as WWI. At the time of World War II, they became a practical and more streamlined way to display achievements in daily life. Over time, they have become thinner and more durable, however the traditional materials have stayed intact. UltraThin honors that tradition by sourcing the finest quality materials and following an industry-leading quality control process. As a result, our medals and ribbons will stand the test of time.
Passing Inspection Is Key
Continuing updates in military standards for medals require a regular review of the appropriate manuals and standards. In order to stay compliant for inspections, it is helpful to have a professional source for verification. At UltraThin, our experts stay current on the latest publications in order to insure the correct order of precedence. Occasionally, one of our customers will request a variation. Our team will alert the customer and verify the alteration before proceeding with the order. We insure accuracy on every order.
Precision Alignment
& Durability
In addition to accurately configuring your ribbons according to standards, you need be sure the individual components will not come loose in daily wear. UltraThin assembles each ribbon rack by hand and secures the components one at a time. After numerous cross checks to confirm accuracy, we carefully package each award prior to shipping.
