Featured: Awareness Ribbons

February 8, 2008

Hey, where’d you get that yellow “Support our Troops” Ribbon?

Why PrintMyRibbon of course…you can customize the ribbon to say whatever you want. Not only that, but you can buy it on rolls of 100 yds so all your friends can get one too.

If they come on rolls, how do you make each one?

Instead of leaving you with 100 yards of ribbon printed with your special message, we at PrintMyRibbon, have decided to assemble a great How-To to take you step by step through the process of making your very own lapel ribbons.(Click Here for How-To)


How’d you know what color to get?

Great Question, checkout this page from Wikipedia, they already know everything, and ribbon colors and their meanings certainly fall under “everything”.

Ok, last question, where do I start?

Featured: Eco Friendly Labels

December 26, 2007

Corn is hot! Everything is being made from corn these days, and for good reason, it’s renewable. Most film label materials are made from an oil based product like poly-pro, or petroleum…until now! We are proud to announce that we have created a whole line of eco-friendly products. Labels are the beginning, but we also have bags recycled either from papers or plastic materials.

Let’s get together and make a difference, today.

A Christmas Gift from Jeremy, Kristin, & Shannon

December 20, 2007

Staying current with design is a fast moving target. What’s cool today can be outdated tomorrow. If you surf the web much, you may have noticed a lot of the same styles in the look of the graphics and layouts. One of these popular styles is the following:

As a way of saying “MerryChristmas“, I would like to show you all how to make this graphic using Adobe Photoshop. So Here it is…

1. Make a new Photoshop Image

(click on the images to see larger)



2. Using the font “Arial Rounded”, type your text in all lowercase letters. I’m going to use “pmtvoice” for this example. Make your text black for now, we’ll adjust the color later.



3. Goto the top menus and goto “Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options”. This will open up the Layer Style window.



4. In the Styles column along the left side of the window, select “Color Overlay”. Next, click on the color block in the area to the right (This should be black just like our text). Select the color you like, I have chosen a light blue for my button.

5. Next go to the “Outer Glow” Style. Modify the settings in this pane to reflect the image below.



6. Lastly, go to the ” Stroke” Style, and modify the settings to match the image below.

7. Your image should look like this one.

8. Goto the File Menu and first save your file as a Photoshop (psd) file and then save it as a (jpg) for the internet.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to post them in the comments section below. Have a Very Merry Christmas!

But Wait…That’s not All…You want the photoshop file? Well, Here you go…

Meet the E-Commerce Team

October 10, 2007

Our Director of E-Commerce Sales/Marketing has an ad posted in her office that reads:

“The good news is: ‘You’re responsible for the internet’, the bad news is: ‘You’re responsible for the internet'”.

How true those words are, the internet is certainly not taken lightly around here. We’ve invested time, money, and ourselves in producing the best website possible. The internet has been described as the “Wild West of the new millenium”, and we certainly agree. Taming this new frontier is both challenging and fun as we learn the ins and outs of being successful online. There are 4 of us braving this world of electronic free-for-all, day in and day out, and here we are…

Kristin – Content Editor

Kristin is the resident description writer. She is able to take all of the information from the different sources and combine it to present a great explanation of each product. She recently helped to make Custom Ribbon available to all affiliate sites.

Shannon – Content Editor

Pricing Structures, Image Management, and all things organization, Shannon is the gatekeeper for all of these and many other pieces of information that allow us to sell our labels, tags, and more online. A constant struggle to keep things in updated and easy to find, Shannon works tirelessly to make sure things just work.

Jeremy – Technical Coordinator

I guess I’m sort of a cross between tech support and designer. I take care of a lot of the templates in the design tool and wizard products(Some of my recent favorites:Wine Labels, Anniversary Seals). I love new technology, and staying current with the latest and greatest.

Melissa – Fearless Leader/Director of E-Commerce

Being a fearless leader can be scary to some, but Melissa has managed to keep us growing and continually looking for areas of improvement. Besides managing our internet presence, she also does some of the behind-the-scenes stuff like: SEO (Search Engine Optimization, PPC (Pay-per-Click) and various other acronym type things to allow you, the customer, to be able to find us in the search engines.
