The Stars of the Show: Ceremonial Scissors and Ribbons

With grand opening ceremonies, the correct ceremonial scissors and ribbons are vital. These are not purely symbolic, but a way to provide a taste of elegance and memorable moments.

Selecting the Appropriate Ceremonial Scissors

The grand opening ceremony centers on ceremonial scissors. They vary in size and finish to allow one to select the most suitable pair that will fit the theme of the event.

Size Options: 12" to 40"

Ceremonial scissors can be found in sizes of 12 to 40 inches. Your size is determined by the magnitude of your event and your preference.

Finish: Accessible in Gold, Silver, and Custom Finishes

We could also customize the finish of the scissors to suit your event. Gold and silver are both common, and manufacturers can provide custom color matching to incorporate your brand colors.

Choosing the Ideal Ceremonial Ribbon

Another significant item is the ceremonial ribbon, which goes hand in hand with the scissors. Ribbons are available in different widths, materials and can be printed, enabling personalization.

Ribbon Widths and Materials

Various widths and materials are offered in ribbons (satin, grosgrain). Material and width selection can also impact the overall look and resilience of the ribbon.

Options: Custom Printed versus Stock Ribbon

There are custom printed ribbons that have your logo or message versus stock ribbons that already have a phrase like Grand Opening printed on them. Custom-dyed ribbons are the personalized route, stock ribbons are a quick and professional choice.
