A medal with a unique design stands out, but a ribbon truly completes the look. In fact, a unique design for both medal and ribbon ensures that your award tells a complete story. No matter the shape, the ribbon brings balance to the medal. The ribbon's colour, texture, and pattern can elevate the medal's design.

When it comes to medal carriers, there are plenty of creative alternatives to traditional long ribbons. Depending on the style and purpose of your medal, you might consider the following options:

1. Cords
   
2. Chains
   
3. Leather laces
   
4. Lanyards
   
5. Ribbon carrier
   

These options can add a unique touch to your medal presentation, making it stand out while serving its practical purpose.

There are several ways to attach a ribbon to a medal, each offering a distinct aesthetic and practical advantage. Firstly, one common method is sewing the ribbon directly onto the medal. By stitching through the fabric and securing it tightly, this method provides a more permanent and professional look, especially for formal ceremonies or competitive events.

In addition the simple knot is another popular choice, where the ribbon is looped through the medal’s attachment point and tied securely. This approach is easy to execute and can be adjusted for size, making it ideal for various occasions.  

Moreover, a hook mechanism offers an elegant solution. In this approach, a small hook is fastened to the top of the ribbon, enabling the medal to be easily taken off or repositioned. This is commonly used in award ceremonies where ease of use and adaptability are essential.

On the other hand, some prefer using a bar pin, which involves sliding the ribbon through a pin and securing it at the back of the medal. This provides a clean, flat attachment that is both sturdy and discreet.

In conclusion, the choice of attachment method depends largely on the desired aesthetic, functionality and purpose of the medal. Each technique, from simple knots to more refined hooks, offers unique benefits that suit different needs.
