How to use / When it’s useful

Use the 37 mm ribbon on service uniforms and the 20 mm version for dinner jackets or formal civilian occasions. Choose clamps for quick fitting or screws when a more secure attachment is needed for heavy fabrics.

Quick answer: The ribbon represents KFOR service and is intended for those who served, but it is also commonly purchased for replacement ribbons, ceremonies, or collections.
In most cases, select the standard 37 mm for duty wear and the 20 mm for gala or miniature displays; use a multi-ribbon bar when combining decorations.

Care and notes

Keep the ribbon clean and handle it respectfully; choose the correct size and attachment for the intended use to avoid damage to uniform or ribbon.

• Match the attachment (clamp or screw) to your uniform fabric to prevent tearing.
• Clean gently with a soft cloth; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that can fade colors.
• Select 37 mm for standard service ribbons, 20 mm for gala or civilian use.
• Purchase loose ribbon if you plan to mount it on a larger medal or a miniature.
