Start with the medal connection, finished wearing length and artwork direction. Then select ribbon width, material, logo method, color references and assembly. LANYVO’s current catalog uses 10–45 mm as a reference width range; the final width should suit the medal size, logo detail and wearer comfort.
What ribbon width works for a custom medal?
Choose width in proportion to the medal and the amount of artwork. Narrow ribbons reduce logo space, while wider ribbons give more room for event names, sponsors and repeated graphics. The current LANYVO catalog lists 10, 13, 15, 20, 25, 30, 38 and 45 mm as reference widths. Final selection should be checked against the actual medal connection and wearing position.
| Design need | Useful direction | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Simple event name | Narrower or mid-width ribbon may be sufficient | Readability at final print scale |
| Multiple sponsor logos | Wider ribbon or simplified repeat layout | Minimum logo size and spacing |
| Full-color race graphics | Sublimation for gradients and detailed artwork | Front, reverse and seam orientation |
| Premium club or school award | Woven or controlled-color printed branding | Texture, edge feel and color reference |
How should the artwork be oriented?
Approve artwork on both sides of the neck, not only as a flat strip. Text and logos should face the intended direction when worn. Confirm the repeat spacing, reverse appearance, seam location and whether the medal sits at the center without twisting the ribbon.
Which medal connection details must be confirmed?
Provide the medal slot, ring or connector dimensions and a clear photo. Confirm whether LANYVO supplies the ribbon only or assembles it with buyer-approved medals. Assembly scope changes the packing, inspection and carton plan, so it must be stated before quotation.
