Personalized Ribbons at Anime Los Angeles: Unleash Your Creativity at the Ribbon Station!
At Anime Los Angeles, we offer a unique service that allows attendees to create full-color custom ribbons. Unlike traditional foil ribbons, which use stamped foil designs, our full-color ribbons provide more design flexibility by printing directly onto white satin ribbon.
Full-Color Ribbons vs. Foil Ribbons
Full-color ribbons are printed on white satin material, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs without the limitations of foil stamping. This method enables you to incorporate a full spectrum of colors in your designs, offering more creative freedom compared to traditional foil ribbons.
Pricing:
- $20 for 25 Standard Ribbons (4”x1.5”)*
- $30 for 25 Large Ribbons (4”x2.5”)*
- Ribbons can be ordered in increments of 25
- No bulk discounts are available for larger orders.
*Ribbons are ½” taller than the imprint space, to allow blank space for tape. See Design Requirements for more details.
Order Before the Event:
Typically, full-color ribbon printing was only offered during the convention. This year, for added convenience, you can pre-order your ribbons before the event! By ordering ahead, your ribbons will be ready for pickup at the Ribbon Station when you arrive at the convention.

Quantity Guidelines:
To streamline the ordering process and ensure the best experience for all attendees, we have established the following quantity guidelines at the Anime Los Angeles Ribbon Station. Please note that bulk discounts are not available, as we have an upper limit on the quantity we can offer.
- Maximum of 4 designs per appointment slot.
- Total cap of 200 ribbons per appointment slot.
Understanding the Guidelines:
- If you desire a single ribbon design, you can order between 25 and 200 ribbons of the same design.
- For multiple designs, the quantity must still be in multiples of 25 and should not exceed the maximum of 200 ribbons.
- Example scenarios:
- 50 ribbons of 4 separate designs
- 100 ribbons of one design, 50 of another, and 25 each of designs 3 and 4.
These limits have been set to ensure that the Ribbon Station can efficiently fulfill your order within the designated timeframe and without impacting the schedules of other attendees.
Design Requirements
Whether you’re ordering before or during the event, please ensure that your design follows these guidelines:
- Edge to Edge Imprint Space*
- Standard Ribbons: 4”x1”
- Large Ribbons: 4”x2”
- Submit designs in high-resolution PNG or PSD format for the best results (300 DPI recommended). Avoid solid or predominantly black designs, as these may not print well on white satin.
*Ribbons are ½” taller than the imprint space, to allow blank space for tape.
When submitting your design, you can provide:
- Graphic/Logo
- Text/Quote
- Font: (We recommend browsing Dafont or 1001 Free Fonts for options. Please include a direct link to your chosen font.)
- Design Description: You can either provide a detailed description or even a simple sketch, and we’ll work to bring it to life.
We will provide a design mock-up and allow for one round of free revisions. Additional revisions may incur extra charges.
