Product overview

The Metal Ribbon Plate is a small metal accessory for decorating and securing regulation ribbon bars. It is designed for uniformed personnel, collectors, and anyone who wants a neat, professional finish on military, police or tactical ribbon mounts.

Definition: a metal plate with side tabs that attaches to metal ribbon bases to display or protect ribbon details. This plate adds a subtle, uniform look and works well with military surplus, tactical and police ribbon sets.

Main features

Compact and practical, the plate offers a secure fit, two size options and compatibility with flat or regulation ribbon assemblies.

• Side tabs for secure fixing: Tabs on each side lock the plate to metal ribbon bases to reduce movement and keep a tidy presentation.
• Two sizes available: 37 mm x 10 mm and 20 mm x 9 mm to suit different ribbon layouts and display needs.
• Works with flat and regulation ribbons: Suitable for standard ribbon bars and flat ribbon mounts.

• Space for small details: The larger 37 x 10 mm size provides room for small emblems or identifying marks.

How to use / When it’s useful

Quick answer: fit the plate onto your metal ribbon base so the side tabs engage the support and hold the plate in place. It is intended to finish or protect ribbon assemblies on uniforms and display mounts.

In most cases, choose the 37 mm x 10 mm plate when you need more display area, and the 20 mm x 9 mm plate for compact arrangements or lighter summer shirts and gala uniforms. Use with standard metal ribbon mounts found in military, police and tactical gear.
