CRI Qualified Counselor and Instructor Ribbon

Product overview

The Consigliere Qualificato Istruttore CRI ribbon is a uniform ribbon for members of the Italian Red Cross who hold the Consigliere Qualificato Istruttore qualification. It is designed for use on service uniforms as an alternative to specialty badges and is aimed at CRI instructors and qualified advisers.

Definition: a 37 mm embroidered ribbon bar (nastrino) bearing the IHL acronym on a light-blue field with a white 2 mm thread border and a central sky-blue line. This ribbon suits duty, tactical, and military surplus collectors and uniformed personnel seeking an official-looking insignia.

• Material: durable embroidered thread and backing for long-lasting appearance.
• Standard size: available only in the 37 mm format.
• Variants: flat regular, slightly domed "Elite" finish, or fitted to a ribbon mount with rear clamps or screws.

How to use / When it’s useful

Use this nastrino on service uniforms where ribbon bars are permitted, or mount it on a ribbon holder for multiple ribbons. Quick answer: mount it in the appropriate ribbon position on the uniform, matching other insignia in size and alignment.

It is useful for formal duty, training events, and official appearances where identification of instructor qualification is needed. In most cases, authorized CRI personnel who have earned the qualification should wear this ribbon in place of the equivalent specialty badge.

Keep the ribbon clean and store mounted ribbons flat to preserve shape; choose the mounting variant that best matches your uniform and attachment preference.

• Gently spot-clean with a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemicals.
