mourningribbon

For a large mourning bouquet, a ribbon of 100mm width is appropriate.
For a medium-sized bouquet, a ribbon of 70mm width is suitable.
For a small bouquet, a ribbon of 45mm width is recommended.
For a single flower, a ribbon between 10mm and 25mm wide is ideal.

Typically, 2 ribbons are attached to a mourning bouquet: 1 ribbon with the message and 1 ribbon with the sender’s name.

We can print the text on your ribbon small enough to fit on two 50cm sections, but you also need to be able to attach the ribbon to the bouquet. It may look out of proportion to have two short, wide ribbons on a bouquet.

If you choose a ribbon width of 70mm or 100mm, it’s best to order 1 meter per ribbon. If you choose a narrower ribbon, you might be able to get 2 ribbons from 1 meter, depending on the length of the text. In this case, we’ll print the first text on the first half meter and the second text on the second half meter.

You can neatly cut the mourning ribbon to size yourself. We leave enough blank space for you to insert the ribbon into the bouquet. After the text, you’ll also have enough room to cut the ribbon at an angle (or straight) with sharp scissors. The ribbon won’t fray when cut.

Unless otherwise agreed, we print your text once on the ordered length. However, you are welcome to specify in the comments how you’d like us to print the ribbon. For example, you can indicate that you want the first text printed on the first (half) meter and the second text on the second (half) meter.

We always ensure that you have enough unprinted ribbon at the beginning to attach it to the bouquet.

Yes, absolutely. And it doesn’t cost anything extra. Simply select "text" at step 4, and where you want the logo, type something like "+logo". This way, we’ll know to place a logo or image there. The logo will be printed in the same color as the text. After your order, you can email us the logo or image.

We can also print your logo or photo in full color. This costs an additional 5 euros per print, as each full-color print must be manually pressed onto the ribbon. If you want your logo or image in full color, select "Full Color" at step 4a. You’ll then see a screen asking how many full-color prints at 5 euros each you want.

Our mourning ribbon ties well around a wreath, a hand-tied bouquet, or a single flower. Often, bouquets are placed in a floral foam block (oasis), and in that case, follow these steps:

1. Gather the start of the ribbon with your fingers (we leave enough space for you when printing).
2. Wrap a sturdy wire several times around the gathered section.
3. Insert this wire into the floral foam in the bouquet.

Yes, after the funeral, the bouquets and ribbons often remain outside for a while. The ribbon and printing can withstand rain perfectly.

A mourning bouquet usually has two ribbons (slips). On one ribbon is a personal message, and on the other ribbon are the names of the sender. Don’t worry about the number of characters on the ribbon. We can always print the text smaller or divide the names over multiple lines. This doesn’t cost anything extra.
