• Regulation size: available only in the official 37 mm width.

How to use / When it’s useful

Use the ribbon on uniform ribbon bars, display boards, or collector mounts. Select the attachment type (clamps or screws) based on whether you need frequent removal or a more permanent fit.

Quick answer: choose the 37 mm regulation size and the Elite finish if you prefer a slightly domed look. In most cases, select clamps for easier removal and screws for a firmer, longer-term installation on ribbon bars or duty uniforms.
