We have recently become aware of instances where third parties have repurposed, altered, and resold our rosettes. While we fully support upcycling, please be advised that our liability and warranty of workmanship terminate at the point of initial sale. To ensure you are purchasing authentic, original items, please verify the reverse side of the rosette. If our brand name is not displayed on the back, the product was not manufactured by us, and we cannot be held liable for its quality, condition, or representation.

Our very popular hot stamped "Special Awards" are back in stock tonight. Never enough hours in a day at the moment, so restocking is becoming a nightly chore for our sports ribbons.
Most of this print run has already been sold, leaving about 130 left on the shelf.
For those waiting on generic 1st, 2nd and 4th, they will be ready to post Monday.

Good morning everyone,

I’d like to clarify a common misunderstanding regarding the ribbon shown in the photo. The image is simply an example to illustrate a point and does not represent anything beyond that.

The three pieces of black ribbon shown are the same base ribbon, available in plain, silver edge, or gold edge finishes. If I mention that we do not have black with a gold edge in a particular size, this does not mean we are out of black ribbon altogether.

Some rosettes require up to five different ribbon widths, and at times we may not have every required width available in a specific edged finish. This limitation relates only to the combination of edging, colour, and width—not the overall availability of that ribbon colour.

I hope this helps clarify things.

Wishing you all a great week.

Cheers,
Katrina

Ever wondered how your kids (and yours 😉) sports ribbons are made.
This is hot stamping, faster, clearer, superior finish and great to write on, but has its limits..
After COVID I stopped screen printing and stuck with traditional hot stamping and TTR methods for all sports ribbons.
There's pro's and con's for every style of printing onto fabric but I have to say, hot stamping comes up trumps (😬) for quality every time. 👍🏼

I apologize for the inconvenience but at the same time I would like to say a massive thanks for all the orders.

While a rosette may appear simple in its final form, the assembly process is incredibly intricate. This photo shows the complexity involved: each individual fold is composed of four separate layers of ribbon, all perfectly aligned. For a set of just nine rosettes, the transition from a ribbon roll to these completed folds takes 1.5 hours of labor (There's only 45 folds).
This stage is the most time-intensive part of our production.

Its lights out in here tonight, admin Sunday is dun and dusted.
Couldn't help but grab a pic before walking out. We finished these ones on Friday, just waiting to be boxed and sent.
How good do these look with their perfectly cut dove tail tips. 👍🏼
There's nothing better than a freshly made rosette.
Hope you've had a great weekend.
Cheers

**SOLD**

FOR SALE.
There are two (2) of these available tonight. (Can be sold separately)
We had an order leave the other day that we didn't expect to show up, so today we remade the order just in case.
Said order has shown up late this afternoon,so I now have these two available. (This is why you don't leave things to the last minute, so I can do things like this - touch wood we have never lost an order yet).
These are a perfect bis, runner up or judges donated Award.
They are not a flat rosette, they are raised through the centre to accommodate the amount of ribbon used plus 3 rows of pleat.
For those familiar with our rosettes, these are a smidgen smaller (not even a full cm) than an Ekka 1, same tail length, but 7 tails.
I'll replace the centre tail.
I'm totally fine for these to stay in the office as an emergency for someone down the track, however if someone does buy them, they must be paid for within 12hrs and they must have the details of the centre tail Info to me within that 12hrs. They are not allowed to be left in my office for more than 48hrs or I will charge rent. 👍🏼
