How to submit an order

Ordering online is just another convenient option — you can still place orders the same way you always have. Here’s how the website works.

  1. Sign in as a wholesale customer

    Make sure you’re logged in and approved as a Wholesale Customer so products and prices appear. Log in or register →

  2. Find the product you want

    Click Product Categories at the top and browse the categories to find what you’re looking for. Every product page has photos, descriptions, and details to help you choose.

  3. Customize and add to your cart

    Open a product and choose any custom options — size, color, material, and more. Click Add to Cart, keep browsing to add more, then click the Cart icon (top right) to review.

  4. Review your order

    Check the products, options, and quantities. Remove items or adjust quantities if needed, then click Proceed to Checkout.

  5. Enter your information

    Add your name, company or organization, and contact info; your shipping or pickup details; and your event date so we can be sure your order arrives on time.

  6. Submit your order

    Double-check the details and click Submit Order. You’ll see a confirmation and receive an email. You can even save your order as a purchase list for next time.

  7. We review and follow up

    Someone from our team reviews your order and contacts you with any questions — just like we always have. Online payment is coming soon; until then, we’ll invoice you once your order is ready to ship.

Answers

Common questions

  • How do I order the same item in several colors?

    Select the first color along with all your options and your quantity, and add it to the cart. The cart total updates, but all the options stay on the page. Now select your second color, confirm the quantity, and add those — you’ll get the same options with the new color.

  • I don’t see any products under a category

    You’re not logged in to the website. Please log in or register your account.

  • Why does it say “Price Not Available”?

    You’re logged in with an individual customer account. Please go to My Account and apply for a Wholesale Customer Account. Once you’re approved as a Wholesale Customer, you’ll see prices for our products.

  • How do I check the status of my order?

    On the My Account page, select the Orders tab to see your order status. Here’s what each status means:

    Submitted for Review
    Your order has been submitted. We’ll check that everything looks correct and contact you with any questions.
    Accepted / Pending
    We’ve accepted your order and it’s waiting for our team to begin work.
    In Progress
    Our team has started your order. Often several teams contribute to different parts. Depending on the products and order size, this can take hours, days, or even weeks — but rest assured we’re working on it.
    Ready to Ship
    Your order is complete and we’re getting it ready to ship.

    We’ve shipped your product and added shipping costs to your invoice. You may now view your invoice and send payment.
    Completed
    We’ve received your payment and your order is complete. Thank you for your business!
  • Are there quantity price breaks?

    Yes. Pricing-tier quantities are counted by the total number in each category (for example, all Rosettes together) rather than by specific design. The same applies to minimum order quantities. For wholesale customers:

    Rosettes (min. order — 12)

    • Below minimum: $3 per rosette additional fee
    • 25–49: 4% discount
    • 50–99: 8% discount
    • 100–249: 10% discount
    • 250+: 12% discount

    Flat Ribbons (min. order — 100)

    • Below 50: $1 per ribbon additional fee
    • 50–99: $0.50 per ribbon additional fee
    • 500–999: 8% discount
    • 1000–1999: 10% discount
    • 2000+: 12% discount
  • What are your lead times?

    Lead times vary by product category and, for some products, by in-stock availability of supplies. Some examples:

    • Custom rosettes 30 days (6 weeks in peak months, May–Aug)
    • Custom flat ribbons 2 weeks (4 weeks in peak months, May–Aug)
    • Trophies, plaques, medals 2 weeks (4 weeks if materials aren’t in stock)
    • Stock rosettes & flat ribbons ships in 2 business days
    • Custom charms & buttons 60 days
    • Printed cards & tickets 30 days
    • Banners & posters 30 days (6 weeks in peak months, May–Aug)

Tips & ideas

Practical ideas for using awards and printed products to make your fair, show, club, or event shine.

Planning Plan your awards season early Beat the May–August rush and never run short on ribbon day.

Peak season stretches our lead times, so the earlier you order custom rosettes and ribbons, the better. Before you order, map out every class and division, and decide where you want champion and reserve-champion awards. Then add a small cushion of extras — ties happen, entries grow, and a few spares on the table beat a scramble the morning of your event.

A quick count by category (all your rosettes together, all your flat ribbons together) also helps you reach the next price-break tier.

Recognition Make every placing feel special Turn a ribbon into a keepsake families keep for years.

Consistent award colors make results easy to read at a glance, and standout champion and grand-champion rosettes give your top honors the moment they deserve. Adding your event name and year to the streamers turns an award into a keepsake — the kind that ends up pinned to a bedroom wall and brings families back year after year.

Thinking about a year-end or high-point award? A custom trophy, plaque, or medal makes the recognition last.

Presentation Look professional beyond the ribbon Signage and number cards pull the whole event together.

The details around the ring matter too. Banners, support signs, and competitor number cards make your event look polished, keep the day running smoothly, and give sponsors the visibility they’re looking for. Coordinated printed products carry your organization’s name across the whole venue — from the entry gate to the winner’s circle.
