Show off Your Ribbons with a Magnetic Rack

Military thin ribbons are designed to be practical. It’s their entire reason for existing.

The thin ribbon was first engineered as a counterpart to the traditional medal. Smaller in size and more pragmatic, these ribbons allow a service member to show off all of their accolades even when they’re in less formal events. It’s a way of bragging, but it also serves the practical purpose of telling people in the know everything they need to know with just a glance. But as your military career continues and you find yourself carrying around more and more ribbons, you may find they’re more a hassle than you’d like to deal with. That’s where a magnetic ribbon rack can serve a practical purpose in your life.

 

No More Pinholes

 

The traditional way to wear military thin ribbons is like traditional pins, and that makes a lot of sense. Traditional pin backs make it easy to put your ribbon rack on and take it off - but each time you do, you’re leaving a mark in the fabric of your jacket. When we start talking about a service uniform that you wear day in and day out, that can cause some serious wear and tear. Since they don’t make you poke holes in the fabric, magnetic ribbon racks offer a cleaner approach that isn’t going to ruin your laundry.

 

A Firmer Grip

 

The more ribbons you collect, the bigger your thin ribbon rack needs to be. And that can start to become weighty and unwieldy, even if you’re using the slimmest and most lightweight ribbons and rack. Magnets can dodge this issue entirely. Unlike pins, a magnet offers a firm grip over the entire surface of the rack, so you don’t have to worry about it sag or potentially ripping the fabric. Instead, it will hold tight - at least hypothetically. Not all magnets are created equally, and finding a company that offers a serious magnetic grip should be a high priority. You might run the risk of pinching your fingers, but you won’t run the risk of your ribbon rack tumbling from your chest.

 

Easy to Adjust

 

The great thing about a magnetic rack is that it’s easy to slip new ribbons in and out. A good magnetic rack will last you a lifetime, and that’s true even as your military career becomes more illustrious. Magnetic racks offer one of the simplest ways to make adjustments available.
